There is not a lot to report from Eaton Rapids today.
No Quicksilver today.
We have some weather blowing in and are looking forward to a five day period next week when the wind-chills will be around zero F. It is called "Winter in Michigan".
I have a pot of meatball soup on the stove. I may serve it over spaghetti.
Long article HERE on precedents for presidents activating Military for domestic issues.
Three articles on why Amish people are significantly more healthy than the overall population, especially during our later years. If you only have time to read one, the essay in the middle is very compact and to-the-point.
Lessons from the Amish: Superior Health and Fertility in a Modern World
Why the Amish Enjoy Better Health: Key Lifestyle Factors Backed by Science
Amish Perspectives on Their Health and Lifestyle
Yes, I used Mrs ERJ's nail polish
I am not a nail polish kind of guy. For that matter, Mrs ERJ is not a fingernail polish kind of girl. She has three bottles, red, white and clear.
I want to go on record: I used it with Mrs ERJ's permission.
Results below the fold
I wanted to add contrast to the lever for the dead-bolt on our exterior doors. They are "brushed bronze" and very dark.
I wanted enough contrast so I can stand in the middle of the room and see the position of the lever in low light-conditions.
"Backed by Science" At least he didn't write "by The Science" - that would bring flashbacks to totalitarian Covid days.
ReplyDeleteIf it works it works....
ReplyDeleteAll the old order Amish left here a few years ago to go to Michigan.. We now have "new" order . They use cell phones and drive combustion motor powered farm equipment, but not cars. I get raw milk from them and are grateful for it. The old ones used to make hay "shoks"? in the fields and their dairy cows were so pretty you wanted to take them home for pets. I believe the new order can have electricity as long as it is not from the power lines.....Lots of solar panels and generators around their houses....
ReplyDeleteHeh. Exactly what I did to our deadbolt knobs.
ReplyDeleteGood trick for the deadbolt.
ReplyDeleteAny new Ukraine women farming videos (and others)? Always interesting to see how they get stuff done.
Goodness again anonymous. Almost 50-50 if I am.
