It's raining mulberries, hallelujah !

Early yesterday morning about 2 am we had a deluge. It very briefly awoken me,
before rapidly heading back asleep
The large amount of water prevented me from playing softball last night.
.
One other result, was that it knocked a lot of ripe black mulberries off of a large tree on the side of my house.
There also, I have sugar snap peas transplanted there adjacent to a trellis
and I wanted to see how their growth is progressing this morning.
When I got to that side of my house, I noticed that the whole area was a carpet of fallen mulberries.
Thousands of them. A natural bounty. applause
There's tons more on the ground and way more still up in the tree.
The squirrels and birds love them.

So, I picked up a generous handful off the ground, rinsed them off with the hose and plucked the small green stem off of each of them.
I had not prepared breakfast yet, so I went inside and prepared oatmeal with a mixture; 1/2 mulberries + 1/2 grapes. Yum !

If you have never eaten mulberries, their flavor is not as powerful as a blackberry, not even as much as a blueberry. It's a subtle somewhat similar flavor to a blackberry, not as sweet either.

Breaking News

Reports are coming in that archeologists have found the remains of Gandalf the wizard, but, before the story could be verified, men in black suits and dark glasses descended on the scene and removed all traces of the evidence. Now it looks like we will have to turn to Youtube to get to the truth of the matter. Meanwhile, some scholars are scouring the Bible to find something to offend the common sense of the rationally minded with; while others are claiming that the Lord of the Rings was dictated to Tolkien by a hologram left behind by an ancient race of extraterrestrials who once dominated our planet.

Yea ! We did such a good job in bringing down the C-19 infection rate, that gyms are opening up

Yep, starting this Tuesday.
Gyms are allowed to open back up here in New Jersey. thumbs up
One has to wear a mask while in the gym and both the machines & the people have to be at least 6 feet apart.

I guess one might say, I'm fairly.... pumped.... about that. grin

I not only miss the many exercise machines, but some of the gym members too.
Some are quite...... motivational. wink

Since I joined in the winter, I never did get to use their large pool.
While it's still summer, I plan to do so, especially on hotter days.

Independence Day weekend...

Americans celebrate their Independence Day on July 4th. It's a legal holiday. The internet will be open, but most businesses will be closed. This year, the 4th falls on a Tuesday and many people are extending their holiday to include Monday, making this a (well deserved) 4-day weekend.

As I drive around the area, many billboards are advertising sales of fireworks. I'm sure there are restrictions in Florida to the type of legal fireworks being sold... that doesn't stop people getting fireworks deemed illegal in Florida while traveling to other states with relaxed laws... or slipping the store owner $20 to pull out a private stash in the back storeroom.

Typically, every city or municipality will do free fireworks displays in open areas and have proper safety equipment in the event of a mishap. The best displays I've seen are on the beach, where they have a barge about a half-mile offshore so people are in perfect viewing distance and far enough for safety should there be a misfire or explosion.

Enjoy, be safe and if you eat watermelon at a barbecue, be sure to spit the seeds into the grass and make Loh_key happy. If you happen to eat watermelon indoors, spit the seeds anyway!

Interesting LAST MEAL requests

I recently read about the 15 most extravagant last meal requests of death row prisoners. Here are the 5 most interesting ones to me:

1. In 1985, Gerald Lee Mitchell met his 20-year-old victim, Charles Marino, and the victim’s 15-year-old brother-in-law, Kenneth Flemming, in a Houston neighborhood park, offering to sell the pair some marijuana, but he robbed them of their cash and car keys before shooting them both. Fleming survived with a hip injury.
Mitchell was later arrested while driving Marino’s car. That same day, he had murdered another man when the latter refused to hand over a necklace he wanted. Mitchell was ultimately sentenced to death for both murders. For his last meal, he requested a bag of Jolly Rancher candy in assorted flavors. Mitchell was clearly a candy lover to the very end.

2. Dobie Gillis Williams was on a five-day furlough from Camp Beauregard when he broke into the rural home of Hebert and Sonja Knippers in 1984. After breaking into their home through the couple’s bathroom window, he attempted to r*pe Sonja before stabbing her. Williams left the house the same way he came in, and later, a fatally-injured Sonja passed away.
Williams was eventually arrested, charged with first-degree murder, and sentenced to death. For his last meal, he requested twelve candy bars and some ice cream, showing that he was a major chocolate addict. Talk about a sugar rush.

3. After Victor Feguer arrived in Dubuque, Iowa in the summer of 1960 and rented a room at a rundown boarding house, he began calling physicians out of the local Yellow Pages, eventually coming across Dr. Edward Bartels. He called Bartels up and when Bartels stopped by, Feguer kidnapped and killed him. He was arrested a few days later while attempting to sell the doctor’s car.
Feguer was convicted of murder and sentenced to death by President John F. Kennedy himself since, at that time, only the former president could commute a death sentence. For his last meal, Feguer requested a single olive with the pit still in it. But he didn’t eat it. The olive was found in his suit pocket and was reportedly buried with him.

4. Lawrence Russell Brewer requested more food than anyone could realistically eat. Brewer was a white supremacist who, along with two other white supremacists, murdered a 49-year-old African-American man in Jasper, Texas in 1998 by dragging him to death behind a pickup truck and was sentenced to death.
For his last meal, he requested two chicken fried steaks and sliced onions dripping in gravy; a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger with everything on the side; one cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños; a big bowl of fried okra with ketchup; one pound of barbecued meat and half a loaf of white bread; three fajitas with all the toppings; a Pizza Hut Meat Lovers pizza; a pint of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream; a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts on top; and three root beers. When the food came, Brewer declined to eat anything, saying he wasn’t hungry.

5. Debra René Wilson was counting money from the cash drawer when retail merchant James Edward Smith entered the office and pointed a gun at her, demanding money. After Harris collected the money from an insurance executive, he fired a bullet into the executive’s heart, killing him, then fled the scene on foot. However, he was caught in a nearby parking lot by an office worker, a work crew, and a businessman. Harris was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.
For his last meal, he requested rhaeakunda dirt, which is frequently associated with voodoo rituals, so he could perform a voodoo ritual. His mother said her son was a kind and caring child until he started practicing black magic, voodooism, and witchcraft. But dirt wasn’t on the list of approved foods for last meals, so the prison gave him what they probably considered the closest thing—yogurt.

== WAKE UP AMERICANS == IF BIDEN WINS AMERICA IS OVER

Don't you get it?!!! If Biden wins the Democrats will PACK THE SUPREME COURT, will create at least two and possibly THREE NEW STATES, will ELIMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and will change the rules of congress and redistrict SO THAT IT ENSURES AMERICA WILL BE PERMANENTLY RUN BY ONLY ONE PARTY.

YES ONE PARTY... Just like CHINA, Just like RUSSIA, Just like IRAN, Just like NORTH KOREA just like CUBA.

Don't you get it? We are talking about permanent STRUCTURAL CHANGES.

DON'T YOU GET that the reason Biden is completely silent and won't answer any questions about these things it BECAUSE THIS IS THEIR PLAN AND THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW IT.

WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
