    If green plants photosynthesize, do Burning Bushes do it when they're red?

    Good question, I know the secret to getting red fire stick plants is not to over water them.

    I asked my son “what’s up with all the rubber duckies on jeep dashboards?”. He didn’t know either. I figured it was just some dumb jeep thing. It is.

    _Ducks on Jeeps are a result of the tradition of "Jeep Ducking", which is when Jeep owners leave rubber ducks on other Jeeps. The practice started in 2020 and has become a popular way for Jeep owners to spread kindness and community _

    “Tradition” that started in 2020🤔

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    I think that would just make it a fad.

    I believe it has been going on for longer than 2020. I remember seeing it on them before 2020, but maybe that's when it went national.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.

    If I wake up at 3pm, and then eat my first meal at around 7pm or 8pm, is it obnoxious to post pictures of that meal in the breakfast thread instead of the dinner thread?

    IMHO, no

    Grammy winner: Beyoncè for Country album of the year. I listen to Country music every day, never heard a Beyoncè song, not once. Hear Lainey Wilson every time, no Beyoncé. Maybe she made an album, I don't know, but I have yet to hear it on any Country station.

    So, what are the odds that next years Gospel Album of the Year goes to Ozzy Osbourne? I mean, why not? Maybe a Christmas special in the works?

    Never once heard a Beyonce song, that I know of. I don't think I'm missing anything.

    I could go for Tull. I saw them in concert more than any other group, probably 5 times. Saw a lot of groups in the early 70's, remember some, too.

    If you remember ANY of them you weren't doing it right...

    Someplace I still have what I think was called a Baseball T from a Tull Boston
    Garden show back in 1979+/- a year or two.

    Two words that are pronounced exactly the same, and have exactly opposite meanings.

    raise - verb - 3 a : to set upright by lifting or building

    raze - verb - 1 : to destroy to the ground : demolish

    So a homonym is a word that sounds the same or is spelled the same as another word.

    Words that sound the same, like “sun / son,” are called homophones – a type of homonym.

    Words the are spelled the same, whether they sound the same like “duck” or don’t sound the same, like “wind,” are called homographs – another type of homonym.

    Words that both sound the same and are spelled the same (like “duck”) are called heterographs.

    Words that are spelled the same but don’t sound the same (like “wind”) are called heteronyms.

    Remember back in school, they would threaten to put it on your permanent record? Afraid it's becoming real.

    Late night thoughts…
    We live in a world now where a vast number of people feel the need, desire, and maybe even the compulsion to know everything. People want to see and know what everyone else is doing. People mirror the “evil” companies that do the same thing by gathering their information from devices. Knowledge seems to be the world’s worst addiction. But is it actually knowledge? In my opinion, absolutely not. But people feel it is. The endless search for what some consider knowledge has consumed large throngs of our society. I just wonder how many lives this search has destroyed. The search for false knowledge in what we know as the internet. This symbolism struck me hard for some reason last night.

    Genesis 2:16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,
    17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.
