  1. I picked up my habaneros (I’ll probably only pot one but they came in threes) a couple days ago and decided to also get a ghost pepper. That will be a first. I called back to the garden center for some additional info and learned they have scorpion peppers too. I just didn’t walk far enough down the aisle to find them. I’ll go back this weekend or so to get one of those. Very excited about that. They said they’ll be getting Carolina Reapers in. I’m not sure I want to bother with those on top of the other peppers. Maybe that’s too much to manage and my dehydrator is probably going to be working overtime as it is. But maybe I should get one anyway since the opportunity is there. I wouldn’t necessarily have to transplant it and put it outdoors. I could just maintain it and maybe flower it indoors under lights next winter.
  2. Tin soldiers and Abbott’s comin’
  3. Username checks out? I eat a lot less beef than I used to. I eat mostly chicken and pork. Sometimes I’ll go days without eating meat. Not out of a sense of moral responsibility or anything. Just a matter of ease and convenience. I can get by pretty well on fruit and nuts. I eat lots of apples and bananas and snack on peanuts daily. (And haven’t had a cold or anything else since before the pandemic) But yeah, I’m never giving up meat. I’m just one person. I don’t have kids. (Glad I don’t have to explain to them how their grandparents, aunt, and uncle are on the side of the people who royally fucked their environment…and their schools…) Yeah, I know it’s a little bit of a cop out but I’m making some changes and trying to advocate for more major change, the kind that can make a real difference. I try to avoid big industrial meat products as best as I can. The more local, the better. I’m sure I could be more rigorous about it than I am. But I won’t touch chicken from Tyson or Perdue.
  4. Our use of fossil fuels is the number one problem. If we don’t address that then switching to vegetarianism, which I am never going to do, won’t amount to much. Yes, the livestock issue is a problem. It’s not the main problem. And we’re not doing much to address the main problem. Jesus, we have a former president, who’s running for president again, who denies that global warming is real and is still chanting “Drill, baby, drill!”
  5. And you couldn’t be bothered to post a link to your admittedly questionably sourced quote.
  6. He didn’t stop defaming E. Jean Carroll after her second lawsuit cost him $83 Million, up from $5 Million for the first one. He’s a fucking child. He can’t help himself. He’s obnoxious and obscene and uncivilized. It’s who he is. He’ll never stop being a foul-mouthed lowlife.
  7. How’s that prediction working out for ya there, Stella? Not that I think the show doesn’t suck but they’re currently airing their sixth season.
  8. Fucking die already, Mitch. You know damn well it was Trump and that everything ties back to Trump and Russia and you were totally fine with it because you value power and party over the constitution.
  9. Yes. He wrecked Trump the last time they were on the debate stage. Did you miss that? If you can’t tell that Biden is head-and-shoulders above Trump in terms of mental acuity, not to mention competence to do the job, then you’re either a child or a fucking moron.
  10. We know why. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-jan-6-panel-releases-video-of-rep-loudermilk-leading-a-capitol-tour-day-before-attack
  11. Untwist yours, bub. Nothing wrong with not knowing. Getting belligerent in defense of one’s ignorance is Republican territory. If you’re not familiar with Devin Nunes’ cow then there’s probably a whole lot more that you don’t know about his role in the Trump-Russia collusion scandal. I don’t think you could’ve been following along while all of that was playing out without knowing about it.
  12. Then how have you ever heard the name “Devin Nunes” in the first place or about his role in the Trump-Russia-collusion-coverup and consequent payoff with an executive position in Trump’s fake Twitter enterprise?
  13. They upped the ante for Dead & Co.
  14. No Reba at the Sphere?!?! Goddamnit. God Fucking Damn You Trey. What the fuck? Ah, well. It’s not like they could top this one: Phish has an unusual distinction in that I can say they played both the best and the worst concerts I’ve ever seen.
  15. Saw a piece on CBS Saturday Morning about Phish’s gig at the Sphere. I didn’t know they were just the second band to perform there after U2. It really is a Phishy thing for them to do. Hey, look. They posted a long interview. Way to go, CBS.
  16. Synchronicity. This past weekend was the 31st anniversary of my first Phish shows. Back in ‘93, 4/20 wasn’t a date of significance. At the time I felt I was late to the party. I posted setlists earlier in this thread. (We’re still on the first page? Really?) Before long it will be 20 years since my last Phish shows. Coventry wrecked me. It’s complicated. I need to see/hear the Reba from the Sphere. They had to have played it, right? I haven’t even bothered to look at setlists at phish.net yet.
  17. Divided Sky was the first of the few excerpts I watched. Awesome visuals. I thought the performance was a little clunky to start. I begrudgingly got into it toward the end. I’ve seen better but it took me back because it really is a great song. I even found myself chuckling at Trey’s pregnant pause that used to tire me out by how he seemed to keep milking it longer and longer every time.
  18. Yep, okay. Playing up to the stage. Way to go, guys.
  19. Old school Phish at the Sphere. As a jaded vet, this has my blessing.
  20. His affair with Marla Maples was public knowledge while he was still married to Ivanka. (Oops, I mean Ivana.) It was in the news. Johnny Carson joked about it. His character as a philanderer and womanizer was established over 3 decades ago. Some of his followers embrace that and think it makes him manly and a stud. I’ll bet Trump thinks it makes him BMOC. I think it should absolutely be admissible.
