This is the Twitter account for my design stores and for my eBay sales. Any links I post will more than likely take to someplace to buy something from me.

Tonight's dinner, includes a salad that was freshly harvested from the garden (and yard.) Romaine, Red Salad Bowl Lettuce, Beet Greens, Good King Henry, Dandelion Greens, and Amaranth leaves.

Many of which were from https://t.co/iFr6fAvzAY

I got my awesome Father's Day gift in the mail from my even awesomer daughter.

Two flavors of mushroom jerky from Seta's Mushrooms, a vintage tea towel with dandelion art, a mushroom shaped kitchen scrubber, and a book about how to talk to your cat about gun safety.

Happy Father's Day, X!

Here's something I rarely, if ever, do. Post pictures of my dad. We lost him in 1984 to his second heart attack.

We don't have a lot of pictures of him because he was always behind the camera taking MANY pictures and slides of us.

Happy Father's Day!

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋

Flash Shelton, also known as “Squatter Hunter" fights squatters by moving in with them and making the situation so uncomfortable that they leave, helping homeowners retake control.

Flash Shelton was grieving his father and trying to sell his mother's vacant California home when he got the call. Strangers had moved in.

Police told him it was a civil matter and there was nothing they could do. So he figured out how to become their squatter.

Shelton signed a lease from his mother to establish legal tenancy, drove 19 hours, camped outside waiting for the squatters to leave, then went in, secured the back door, installed cameras, and waited for them to return.

When they came back they found him already inside, legally. That method became the foundation of his entire business.

Once hired, his team secures a short-term lease from the homeowner, moves in alongside the squatters, and makes daily life uncomfortable, taking over common areas, playing loud music, and maintaining constant presence, until the intruders choose to leave voluntarily.

"What I used to save my mom's house, I am now using to help homeowners across the country," he said. "I've built a whole team ready to out-squat the squatters."

The legal genius of it is simple, squatters exploit the same tenant protection laws that protect genuine renters. Shelton just decided to use those same laws against them.

Some highlights from my garden. A flower from my Adirondak Blue Potato, the first black raspberry of the season (it was delicious,) and a parade of my greens. Basil in front, Red Salad Lettuce on the left, Romaine in the center, and Good King Henry on the right.

I read a story in which the author, whose hero was Texas, mentioned someone taking a "slice" of Frito pie, and thus exposed himself as a poseur.

In a different story, by a different author, the hero went to Waffle House and bought a Belgian waffle - making it clear he had never in fact visited a Waffle House.

In the Walking Dead, they go from Florida to South Carolina and can't find a single firearm in any house. "Huh" I thought. "The screenwriters are from Los Angeles."

What examples can you give of a writer unintentionally giving away his lack of knowledge?
