Barrister Wang Wong Esq. For: Principal Attorney,

 

Its for REAL!!! I KNOW it!!!  *sigh*

The only thing I did was break the one link in the email, though interestingly enough it actually led to where it said it did.

So, finding the pair of volunteer wild onions in my flower patch got me thinking. 

I know we’ve got wild onions and chives in several spots on the property. 

Husband and I aren’t much for onions, but there are occasions where we want them.  But not often enough to make it worth while to buy them usually. 

I’ve debated buying onions and dehydrating them for easy storage so we have them when we want them.

Why not do the same with the wild ones?  I’ll have to think on this.  By the accounts online the best time to pick them is spring anyways, so I have time to think….

I found this over at Borepatch.  Now the guy who taught my highschool physics course did an awesome job, and showed us quite a few dramatic real life examples, but we never did anything like this.  On the other hand this is exactly something he’d enjoy, if he was still teaching I’d be sending him this video.

James over at The Next Chapter put up a quick post on how we’re not going to need driver’s licenses by 2040.

For some reason I can’t figure out how to leave a comment there.  I’m sure its my failing, but it might be Blogger too, but it HAS been that kind of week….

But that means I’m going to comment here instead.  Maybe I ought to do it more often, I’d end up with more posts anyway…

ANYWAY, back to the original topic: yes we WILL still need drivers licences, cause I refuse to trust my life to a hackable computer dammit!!
