  1. I read that when you posted it. It concluded nothing for me. About the best I can sum it up, "Some polls weight by whether or not you recall who you voted for, and that favors the winner, but some don't and here's a muddy pool of words. Shrug. Nobody knows but they deathly afraid of being really wrong and we're all hedging one way or the other."
  2. Yeah, he's Canadian but he's not wrong
  3. My takeaway is that sometimes it's better to not read the comments.
  4. Sweatergawd pounds the dashboard
  5. Kars with a K I saw the commercial they have on this round during the Bos/Fla hockey. Kids fake playing pink instruments this time. It makes me want to hit things almost as much as the lip smacking AC guy.
  6. I don't think there has been a more appropriate use of that gif.
  7. So goddamn stupid
  8. Girkin is reported to be dead in prison
  9. I used to give Jennifer Rubin a ration of shit every time she was an apologist for Romney. I gotta give her props now.
  10. C Hopkins cafe managed by mine cousin Mo Clyde Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Potassium. Nitrogen, Sulfur, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Boron, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Molybdenum, Chlorine Mnemonic ftw
  11. Oh yeah one more thing. If it makes you feel better you can spray the shit out of the exposed wood with a pyrethrin group insecticide now and drench with an imidacloprid next spring when you feed it. Neem oil can be used instead of pyrethroids and can be used over the entire tree in the winter with some extra emphasis on the wound.
  12. There's your bark problem. Trees might take years to fully express the damage from severe weather. Combine drought with the cold and it's even tougher on them. But, those two are not that bad off. You can clean up the scar but do your best to not cut into new wood. Trim it up however you want. Taking the little branch is a good idea because that's a weak spot. The angles are not strong. Ten years from now when it has a lot more weight up to that's where it's liable to snap off in a big wind. There is a strong consensus on exposing the root flare. https://southernbotanical.com/the-benchmark/root-flare-exposure/ https://neilsperry.com/2022/06/two-extremes-of-root-flare/ https://blog.dallasarboretum.org/gardening-tips-trees-gardening-root-flare/ Feel free to get rid of the metal ring. I'm willing to bet that it's about rusted out anyhow. It's kinda late in the year to fertilize. I'd try to find something heavy on iron and manganese. It's usually sold as a micronutrient blend. Hit it next spring/ late winter.
