I realized I have not posted about my tomatoes this year! Decided to go with plants from the Chicago Tomato Man. He specializes in unique heirloom tomatoes. This year I prepared the soil with compost and worm castings and they are doing fantastic! There is something really magical about growing things yourself. And this year I have a little help in the Garden 🤗
I was just coming here to note this book by @pluralistic - this story made me laugh out loud and then cry inside for how plausible an internet connected proprietary toaster over could be....
Saw this on @TheOnion a few days ago. This is actually the gazebo in my local park in #Chicago. Proof photos attached. And to prove the point of the article, the night I saw this article, the gazebo had an amateur marching band rehearsing a slightly-out of tune version of "When the Saints Go Marching In" - they were definitely sober but it was still a funny coincidence.
When I was in college, I was very active in theater. I had some aquaintances who had graduated and were making a go of it in NYC. I commented to another friend how great it was that they were making it. He looked at me and said "Sean, their parents are paying for their apartments. How else to you think they are living in New York?"
