Not much going on here

I put 3 wheelbarrow loads of chicken manure in the garden plot today. The garden is big enough that the manure is spread pretty thin. This is on top of 3 loads of rabbit manure we put in a couple of weeks ago. I'll probably put some more in tomorrow night. I think next time I'll use the garden wagon instead of the wheelbarrow.

The chicken cages are open topped and dirt floored. I just go in with a shovel and scrape about the top one inch up and then go scatter it in the garden. Most of this material is somewhat aged so I'm not too worried about over fertilizing the garden. The manure has to be removed or it would pile up to the top of the cages eventually so I may as well get some use out of it.

With the price of food expected to only go up I think this is a good investment.

Now I've got to get some more fence material to try and reduce the losses to rabbits. I think this year I may pay the oldest son a bounty on rabbits killed around the place.

How are you set up for food production?

Quote of the Day from Remus

Socialism is envy and hate enabled by terror.

Here is the link to the rest.


Hopefully I won't be sued for quoting it. I recommend the woodpile report.

A new version of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

Here is your link.

I first read this book back in the dark ages when I was in school. I pick it up and read it again every few years. It's good for the soul.

I think I'll stick with the original. Fortunately, I've got several copies sitting around.

I'm hoping that this thing will turn into a financial disaster for the publisher, but somehow I suspect that government schools will latch onto it and it will be an artificial success.

The Constitution of the United States is confusing?

Where did they dredge this idiot up?

I've found the Constitution to be fairly easy to understand. Any part that I had difficulty with or a question about was always worthy of investigation and further reading.

I guess that is too much to ask from today's spoon fed "just tell me so I don't have to think" culture.

God help us. We're going to need it.

I'm back

I hope you had a merry Christmas and I hope you have a happy new year.

Random searches on trains spread

Here is your link.

The most surprising part to me is that these searches weren't already standard. I'm sure they will make the sheeple feel much safer but they won't actually make anyone safer.

I guess this is a sign that the locals there couldn't afford full body scanners for everyone. Too bad for them.

Holiday terrorist warning cites small arms attacks

Here is your link.

This means that you should be armed at all times this holiday season. Of course you should always be armed at all times.

I'm sure our fearless leaders would have a different suggestion for you. Something along the lines of "we should have the TSA set up security checkpoints everwhere and if you aren't happy about it then you must be a terrorist".

If being armed isn't a good thing then the police should quit carrying firearms and government officials should give up their bodyguards. I don't expect that will happen.

Stay armed. Stay vigilant. Have fun. Enjoy the holidays with the knowledge that you can help take care of your family and yourself if you have to.
