I can't believe that 30%+ isn't usury, but I understand that is the rate on certain credit cards. I think where they really hammer people is the "loan fee."

You can buy a 55 gallon drum and a 275 gallon tank of lube on Amazon.
The 55 gal. drum is about $1000. Several of us azzhats at the local shpo are thinking of pitching in to send one to our lawyer buddy.

Couple things:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podophyllum_peltatum , the "May Apple" growing near my creek on the eastern edge of our yard.

I picked 5 or 6 of them for my wife (she likes wild flowers) and she identified them. The native Americans used it "as a an emetic (induce vomiting), cathartic (make you ****),[18] and antihelmintic (dewormer) agent." We have a lot of them around that section, near the creek.

Sassafras trees that are so tiny they look like small plants. Much smaller than the smallest sapling.

I'm going to dig up one of the bigger ones, and put it in a pot. Sometime this summer or early fall I'm going to plant it in the center of our yard, hopefully.

The rest of them will get the brushcutter treatment this week, along with the weeds.

The roots on Sassafras trees are runners. Just FYI. We’ve got several.

So they grow a horizontal root system with smaller sassafras trees popping up here and there? Not just one vertical stem?

Now all I have is beer.

I guess I always assumed gelato had a higher fat content, hence why it was more decadent, smooth, etc. Cool to know it's the "healthier" option!

Animals that are most active at dawn and dusk, such as deer, are called crepuscular... new word for me.

Crepuscular animals can be further divided into two subgroups: matutinal and vespertine. Matutinal animals are those which are active at dawn, such as some species of honey bees. Vespertine animals are those which are active at dusk, such as flies, moths, and some bats and owls.

2 more new words... 🤦

Prolly pushed out words I use a lot...
