Tooters, gather around! I want to talk about dirt. We all need to make dirt. We need more dirt. So start loving your arthropods. Make compost and keep it close to your heart: don't send it off to boarding school. Clap and jump when cousin fungus stands and salutes you. Get on the dirt bandwagon, my friends, carbon needs a home, and it's right under your feet.

Good Morning Resisters. I am finally up after a sleep deprived night of thunderstorms. One strike so close it shook the house. My cats and I were freaked out over that. But All my trees still have their tops this morning.
I see repair trucks from phone company and power company going by every few minutes.
