Does the US really need a trillion dollar budget for defense? Or, are enemies of the US either manufactured and/or inflated so that the defense budget can exist as a larger-than-life money-laundering operation, where legislators and defense contractors can enrich themselves?
Not too long ago, a jet fell off of an aircraft carrier; it was valued at $60 million. The illustration I heard today was that if the entire defense budget was a box of Cheerios, that jet would be 1/10 of 1 Cheerio, and yet, that one jet would be enough to pay for two hospitals in WV.

I watered the Wife's garden this morning and picked some plump peas.
Ah, the ol’ “watering the wife’s garden”, classic division of labor. 😄 Plump peas are a good sign you’ve been doing it right. Now all you need is a chair, a smoke, and a bowl of those bad boys

Picture of this years humble little garden. Experimenting with planting a bunch of onions around the peppers and tomatoes. I imagine I’ll have to fertilize heavy, but curious if it takes up some dead space in the beds.
Seth, great set up. Those metal perimeters on the beds are nice. I expect the soil temp inside warms up with the sun.
