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.
Iām hoping one of my trees snaps and busts my deck up, but all this fucking honeysuckle bush seems to be keeping that from happening.
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!

Do better, humans.
On the bright side, this will kill many of them off, right?
Warming Climate Crisis can do anything.
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.

My wife and I did the original Glibcruise. We also did a Celebrity 7-day cruise out of Tampa in February. The ports we visited were Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya.
The Tampa port is great – we drove to the port from our condo in Venice (snowbirds) and parking was easy and walking distance to the port. The embarkation process was very smooth.
The ships out of Tampa are limited in size since they have to pass under a bridge. The ship we took out of Tampa wasn’t as nice as the Glibcruise ship, but was okay.
We are considering joining Glibcruise one hundred eleven (IYKYK).
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.
That must be why CO2 is used in greenhouses all over the joint.

What in the world?
I’d like to see turnip headed Biden try to eat that.
Yes. His head is shaped like a turnip.
Nice spread, Spud!
Damn. We live in very different places. (Yours is very pretty. )
“Iām headed out the door with my chainsaw and a sharp axe.” I’ve said sexier things than that. “But my mom thinks I’m cool.”
Ya see?! Dyn-o-mite!
I’m jealous.
Spud gets to work with his wood.
