now, I live between the two rivers, and they are both out of their banks. my property is not in danger of flooding, but there is a lot of flooding going on, especially in town this morning...
I think I'm going to sharpen my old scythe and see if I can cut grass with it.

I have never studied the great philosophers, exactly. I read Durant's Story of Philosophy many years ago. I read Plato. I read some Bertrand Russell and most of Phillip Wylie. Read some of Freud's ideas, as well as C G Jung. These people wear various labels and are not all labeled philosophers, I know. Nietzche, Kant, and such, I have read about, but never in depth. It somehow does not seem helpful to me to ask many of the questions they ask. I am of the straightforward persuasion. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Not just in physics, but in the human experience. Existentialism sometimes means something to me - Other times it is just a pretty word. Sign me as Clueless and let it go at that.
Be interested to see if it works Turmeric apparently is known as a good healing product for Joints...
Though I like the other verdict more amusing

I slept well and awoke with lesser pain. It was my first dose, so I imagine it takes more than that to have a stronger affect. It is recommended to do this twice a day. I have been pushing myself physically for the past several years, because I refuse to give in to old age. Last week, I dug in the ground and replaced sprinkler valves, plus went up and down stairs constantly with other projects, then finished off Friday slinging around 50 lb bags of asphalt on the driveway. All in 100 degree or thereabouts weather. So it is natural to need something extra.
The golden milk is primarily turmeric, clean (perhaps distilled) water, and the milk of choice, with a bit of expeller pressed oil, such as sesame, and a tad of non sugar sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup or other.
You cook the turmeric with the water and save it in a glass container. Then use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon and cook it again, with the milk and add oil after it cools.
Good on ya, edgar. I had a bone density xray done last week, and the report shows I have bones of a 30 year old man. That made my day!
I also try to keep active physically, and when I go on trips, I always walk a lot.
When I'm home, I always find ways to work around the house.
That's key to remaining healthy.

I went to the apartments today so I could do a few things without being disturbed. The series of sprinklers that will not sprinkle were my priority. I began shutting down each sprinkler head, from the furthest out and moving toward the source. Finally, the water burst out of the ground near the fence. Now I know where to dig on Monday. It was too late and pretty hot by then, so I went home.

I didn't think I would learn new stuff about coyotes, until last night. I saw a news story on TV about a man who is at his wit's end, trying to fend off their attacks. He even has video of the coyotes' activity. They rip open his watermelons and eat them. The chicken wire he puts over them must not help much. It occurs to me as I write that they likely substitute the melons for water in a dry season. Whooda thunk it?
We had a shower yesterday. More possible today. Yippee.
Wow, I've seen lots of dogs eat it and love it, Ed, horses too. Peas too. Taught my dogs to pick them right off the vine. One pup actually shelled the peas in her mouth. She did the same thing with peanuts.

One of my dogs used to dig up carrots to eat. But I have never pushed dogs on vegetables, because I don't know what they can have. I stopped my boss from giving her dog grapes, but I have very little knowledge of such things.
