LZ GOLF HOTEL ONE CALLS RED SMOKE-REPEAT-RED SMOKE

Posted on May 15, 2016 by asknod

Last year, the sprinkler system went into overdrive after a power failure and put the fungus on a lot of my berries. It also rained unmercifully. This year, I wisely turned it off and Mother Nature promptly followed suit. In … Continue reading →

THE RAINBOW COLORS OF FALLOUT FROM DEFOLIANTS

Posted on May 13, 2016 by asknod

While I cannot say I’ve seen Agents Green, Purple or Pink, in a barrel or out, I have seen Agents Orange, Blue and White (Tordon 101)-both falling from the sky and in drums. Fifty gallon drums are hard to miss. … Continue reading →

THE VETERAN WINE TASTER

Posted on May 2, 2016 by asknod
