Winding down

Hello Friends,

Summer is still going strong here, but fall is just around the corner. Garden 2025 is feeling it's age and many plants have been pulled up and discarded into the yard box. In our area we those that want them, have yard boxes which are basically the same thing as garbage and recycle bins, that we roll out to the curb for pickup.

Anyway, the cukes and the squash are done...not that they ever got started. The tomatoes (shown above) look like they are on their last leg and will soon be gone. There is a lone banana pepper that still has one pepper on it. The few that I got were good.

Here are highlights (or lowlights) and lessons learned.

• Six squash plants produced a total of one squash. It was good!

• Two hills of cukes did okay in the production department, but were mostly bitter. Note to self, do not buy Straight Eights again.

• The Better Boy and Celebrity tomatoes produced modestly, and the tomatoes were small. 

• The Husky Cherry tomato did okay, but not as good as last year.

• The Spicy Slice jalapeno was a complete bust. It was not spicy, but the horn worms loved it.

• The sweet banana pepper was good and produced maybe a half dozen peppers. Would plant again.

• Nine okra plants are awesome, and will likely be producing through September, at least.

Take care y'all, and until next time, stay safe and stay sane.

Good Ads Sell Products.

Hello Friends,

Welcome to another Bud Light moment. Let's take a look at this November 2024 ad video from Jaguar, shall we. It's only 30 seconds...I'll wait.

Okay, now you've seen. Sorry you had to go through that, but that's how the insanity is revealed, shared and dismantled. I understand the CEO of Jaguar has stepped down following this disasterous controversial ad filled with what looks like creepy humanesque robots (I'm going to hazard a guess that they are humans). This doesn't seem to be the best way to represent a luxury car company...even if they wish to update their brand. The ad was released in November 2024, and sales in Europe have dropped more than 97% year-over-year in April 2025.

I guess there really is truth to that saying "Go Woke...Go Broke".

Contrast this with my earlier post showing a pretty young lady American Eagle jeans. American Eagle even has a digital ad in Time Square. Stock is up. Sales are up. The right advertising sells products. 

Please leave your thoughts in the comments. Which product would you purchase?

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.

It Was Never In YOUR Best Interest

Hello Friends,

Following up on a previous post, here is a quote that circulated around a lot during the Covid years after the "not a vaccine" was rolled out.

"If you have to be persuaded, and reminded,
and pressured, and lied to and incentivized,
and coerced, and bullied, and socially shamed,
and guilt-tripped, and threatened, and punished
and criminalized - if all of this is considered
necessary to gain your compliance - you
can be absolutely certain that what is being
promoted is not in your best interest"

- Ian Watson

Mr. Watson, you absolutely said a mouthful there, and it is the absolute truth. We lived this nightmare for several years, and that was an abomination in the history of our country.

Indeed, it was never in our best interest. The truth is coming out and we all hope to see justice served.

Until next time stay safe and stay sane.

The Power of Good Advertising!

Hello Friends,

Look what is making a splash around the internet and setting liberal teeth on edge. You'll hear more yelling and gnashing of teeth as this circles the globe at light speed.

What a refreshing change from the ads of recent years. You can visit American Eagle to see Ms. Sweeney in her jeans.

Now check out and share this viral sensation.

Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans - Outrage AI Parody Song

You can read about this anywhere and everywhere because everybody and his brother is talking about...even the President.

Here's what he had to say about it: "The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Visit Truth Social or your favorite social media for the entire post.

NOW, if we can just convince #American Eagle to bring production back to the U.S.A. We want American-made jeans! Oh, BTW, I heard their stock was up, too!

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.

Just A Conspiracy Theory, Eh?

Hello Friends,

This here is a see-it-for-yourself moment. Let's go back in time to 2021 and the rollout of the Covid-19 "vaccine" program. You remember the big push to get everyone vaxxed? They bribed people and when that didn't work, they forced people to get the jabs or lose their jobs. 

They declared you were "killing grandma" if you didn't submit to the untested gene therapy.

Now the rest of the world gets to see what was behind that campaign, and it was NOT patient welfare, but money.

Yep, it was all about the money and the narrative. They couldn't let go of it even in the face of "actual science" or the reality that it was neither safe nor effective. 

They lied and people died because of it.

Many of us knew all of that way back then, but were called crazy conspiracy theorists because, you know, the science was settled and the experts knew better. If you tried to speak up or speak out against the vax, you were censored for misinformation.

As you can see from the COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive Program, providers got money for every person vaxxed. You read that right. According to this document from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid, depending on the percentage of members vaccinated, the provider could receive up to $250 per vaccinated member. Yeah, it was never about the patient. Now you know!

The takeaway is always question the "experts", do your own research and think for yourselves.

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.
