Yesterday we went to our friends the Teichribs to help them get the last stuff done to be ready to open their strawberry farm this weekend. Weeding in the hot sun is hard work, but it felt really good to come home exhausted, having done some meaningful work. If you want berries, they have the best ones. The few I popped in my mouth were heavenly. oldecrambfarm.com If anyone happens to think that the curse is not in full force, let me tell you that each strawberry is brough

I got a tractor! It's a John Deere 3130. It will do everything that I need. Today I put on new front tires. I'll see what else all needs to be fixed. Now that I have a green machine, my status will likely rise. But we'll see. If you want to come and give it a spin, come on by! The view in the cab. Here is a video, that I shot so you can get a good look at it. Now, to make hay while the sun shines! #FridayWrapUp #Farming #Videos

The U.K. went to the polls, and sent back a hung parliament. I think May will hold on to power, but Brexit is going to be something to watch. I was not expecting this close of a race, but it was clear that May is best in 10 Downing, and Corbyn is best on the hustings. The Liberals have declared a new foreign/military policy this week. It's sort of like this. "Canada needs to be a little version of Bush "Bull Dog of the World" style of "world leadership"". Which I guess make

I'm displeased with how the Stanley Cup final drama has shaken out so far. With Pittsburgh up 2 zip, I have lost some hope in the ability of these saber toothed beasts, to consume antarctic blubber. But maybe in the lions own den the story will be different. Theresa May is blowing a massive lead in the UK election. It's starting to look like snap election call might be a mistake rather than genius. But I don't think that anyone can really say that Prime Minister Jeremy Cor

Washington remained in continued turmoil this week, as Donald Trump now is finally an embattled president. Nothing that has been released so far warrants serious consideration of impeachment. But the continuous drip, drip, drip of the negativity, and these stories will erode his popular and Congressional support, potentially paving the path for president Pence. I have not been a major supporter of the impeach Trump point of view, and I'm not subscribing to that now, but I d

When you want something, all you need to do is tweet. A kid has become the king of twitter and got a year’s worth of free Wendy's chicken nuggets after his plea was retweeted more thazn any other tweet in history. It's a wacky world we live in. The National Post had a good story. The news of the month blasted Washington this week when Mr. Trump dumped the FBI director in a shocking move that blew even my socks off. Everyone has since made a fool of themselves, except me. I j

The wrap up is were I leave some thoughts on the week that was in the news and on the net. The first set of post O'Leary drop out polls released this week, and it looks like a wash for Bernier in both the public and private polls. His fundraising also lapped the field. I finally got a RSS and podcast feed that works. I'm only on a laptop, so most podcast apps don't work that well. I have been going to websites and downloading there. Not anymore. I found feedly.com and it's
