Biography
I steward 20 acres of Cromwell Sandy Loam in the north woods of Minnesota. I clear birch and aspen as needed to plant food sources.

I always have more projects going than I can keep up with which isn't really awesome but I don't know what to change.

I vote for Libertarians and Socialists because they know what it means to have principles and that matters more to me than the exact details of what they believe in. I'm a gun-toting vegetarian. I write code for cash and grow food because no amount of cash will buy real food these days.

I have a wife, two kids, two grandkids, and three cats. I've never had a dog, but I'm thinking about changing that. I hike, garden, read, play games, code, cook, spin and knit, putter, and play at arting.

Just so we're on the same page -- you're saying the light is creating a microclimate of sorts, right? That's pretty neat.

Poor kitty always getting blamed while entirely 100% innocent!

I'll be interested to see what this ends up being. It doesn't sound like a cat-step issue to me.

At first I thought you only couldn't send, which sounds like an SMTP issue at Zianet. But rereading, you can't send or receive. Do you have security (firewall, antivirus) software that could be targeting your email provider? I'm imagining one of those apps created a dialog box asking you if you want to block zianet (or whatever) and the cat saying 'yes'.

A couple weeks ago, I won a pumpkin carving contest.
It was a hollow victory.

A degree in agriculture is great to have.
It allows you to work in a variety of fields.

I'm not into lawn care. With me it's more like lawn don't care!

I welcome wildlife to come crap all over my yard. The only thing I don't want them doing is eating plants I want to eat. Even tearing up my compost piles is fine as long as they stay long enough to take a dump. :)

At our last house (in town), we had one of these that littered the street badly every autumn. I didn't save the seeds for roasting, but just composted the whole pods. They took two years in my slow compost (moldering piles) system, but they broke down just fine.

I'm so glad I found this thread before starting my own inquiry what to do with socks I've decided will never pair back up. Lots of great suggestions from the past!

I thought of that, but it doesn't shorten well...


Yeah, some of the "weirder" ones might make better middle names than firsts. Rowan Synergy Norton rolls along nicely and most people don't really advertise their middle(s) anyway. I can imagine people being averse to calling their child "Syn" because of the homophone Sin.
