There are two same place, overlappingish, and together they are called "hacker summer camp". Well, one of them has ZERO Covid precautions. NOTHING. In Las Vegas.

Yesterday on facebook I saw a video of a house that was smack in the middle of a highway. Apparently the owner refused to sell (don't know what country). It looked like a disaster. A tiny path went around the house but the asphalt didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours certainly can be--I know growing up that we tended to things seasonally. My mom is an excellent housekeeper, but sometimes everything stops to can tomatoes or beans or make applesauce. I am a lesser housekeeper with a different rhythm of life, but our garden sometimes necessitates dropping everything. OTOH, it's prolonging our lives as it's our biggest stress reducer, and we eat better when we garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not knocking it, although around here it tends to be flower gardening with maybe just a few tomato plants and some herbs. We have eight apple trees though, and the apple stewing and freezing season is long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the entire phone number system in Japan has changed since I was a child. Much like the American system changed in the late forties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
