    Tornado warnings....


    For those that don't know, a warning is when one is on the ground, a watch is when conditions are right to make one...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Yup. But posting from my phone so I can't get full functionality from these fat thumbs.

    I thought it was spring in CO when the top layer of snow melts......

    Ugh. Hope it passed you by. One of the many things I do not miss about living in Missouri.

    since calves are usually born in the spring, the oysters should be harvested by early summer......

    I love asparagus and it grows wild in Colorado but you have to pick it before it flowers.
    Not really interested in the RMOs either.

    What about shrooms, ever forage for those? They're my favorite, right up there with blueberries. It's amazing to live where we can just walk out the door and find food growing everywhere.

    That may be true but the rocky mountain oysters are very popular at Oktoberfest which starts in September. You figure it out.

    I live in San Diego so it's been awhile since I foraged for shrooms. When I liked on the east coast, shrooms and berries were everywhere.

    Yeah, it was a very small one, but it did some damage to a rancher in the area. Some livestock, a barn.
