The wife and I went up to open the cabin last week and discovered we had dodged a bullet. The 30′ dead pine seen above brought itself down, saving me some work. I’m headed out the door with my chainsaw and a sharp axe.
My neighbor dodged a bigger bullet. Had it fallen the other direction, it would have taken out a third of his place. He’s in his ’70s. I asked him how long it would take for him to clear it, because it’s blocking access to my fishing hole. š
So anyhoo, this is an open post. You’re on your own for tunes as well. Peace out, Glibbies.
There’s an extremely tall evergreen (some flavor of pine, I guess) pretty much between our back patio and garage and the neighbors’ three-season room and garage. I wish it a long, healthy life. š²š³
I’m keeping a close eye on one of the oak trees in my yard. On the plus side, I know they can withstand tornado force winds at this point.
That’s a capture from a WaPo link (paywalled) on FB. Yep, you read it right – carbon dioxide is bad for plants. Plants crave Brawndo!

BIGLY ANNOUNCEMENT. YUGE!
After taking some feedback from potential GlibsCruise vacationers, we found that GlibsCruise 2 ā Eclipse Boogaloo was a littleā¦ ambitious.
So weāre making the next one much more accessible in terms of expense and logistics. Introducingā¦
GlibsCruise III (thatās three, or one hundred eleventy if youāre a Minnesota Somalian).
Departs Tampa on April 4, 2027 — that’s the Sunday after western Easter
Three port days (Bimini, Nassau, Cozumel), three sea days. Nothing too exotic, easier on the wallet than Iceland. Getting to Tampa is certainly less daunting than the journey to ReykjavĆk.
The link has the phone number for Suzanne, our Glibs travel agent, who can answer any questions and personalize your cruise (if you want WiFi but are skipping the drinks package, etc).
Iāll keep making this announcement in the AM and PM links for several more days, and will draft an article very shortly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A Post analysis reveals that rising carbon dioxide levels are reducing the nutritional value of crops like chickpeas and rice, potentially leading to widespread nutrient deficiencies.
Ooh, science-y.
