oh I was just reading about them. they sound like savvy business people as well. he context was what it takes to survive in modern rural America. the Amish and huterites have been successful at it and are growing and expanding and getting quite wealthy in some cases.

Damn that sucks. were you able to put it out? hey are there any huterites in your neck of the woods Jim?

ah thanks for the explanation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huitzilopochtli interesting bit on the aztec celebrations of the solstice.

better than rotted fenceposts for sure

isn't it like 80 there?

cottonwood out here is not worth the effort to split. that goes straight to the chip yard along with pine, spruce and boxelder. might as well burn cardboard boxes. what about cow dung like the pioneer days. my grandfather grew up in Kansas during the depression and they heated and cooked...

blegh. people been believing crazy shit forever. christians no more or no less crazy than anything else. Although you would qualify as a religious extremist in my book having been moved to violence by someone trying to share their different beliefs with you.

just a few days apart. same difference as far as I can tell. call the sun jesus, call Jesus Santa claus who cares. call Santa Claus Amazon... same party different name.

Damn, that is a short day. beautiful though
