Shibumiseeker did a very informative practical experiment that he posted about a few years ago. The gist was that gasoline stored in 55 gal drums did last (for him) for at least a couple of years with no problems.
I bought a 55 gal drum to keep full at my place, pulling from it and topping...
When I was 18, you couldn't drink any alcohol in Indiana, but in Ohio you could drink 3.2 Beer. There was a place called The Triangle in Greenville OH. We'd have a car-load of us and we'd go there, staying on the backroads. They had "Quarter Beer Night" and live bands. We had some great...
There was one night, mid 1970s, I was out with three older boys and someone thought it was a good idea to bash a certain teacher's mailbox with a baseball bat. That turned out to be so much fun, we decided to bash several more. But the really best part was that we decided to go back and bash a...
One year, I grew several different kinds of beans, some for green beans, and some for dried beans. It turned out to be a poor year in my garden, with too much rain early, then brutally hot and dry later. The Cherokee Trail of Tears beans were the only ones that persevered and produced really...

Turns out I was wrong about that. Kinking is a real condition that affects some snakes, but Rat snakes often freeze in that position when they think they might be in danger.
We had groundhogs last year for the first time, a mother and two babies. They did a job on sweet potato vines, and they got every one of the beets, but they ended up moving to my neighbor's place before I had a chance to trap them. We got a dog last fall, and I put up a fence around my...
I was thinking the same thing. If you look at the one yearbook photo, taken at some point during Trumps presidency, the kid is wearing a patriotic T-shirt with a graphic of Mount Rushmore over the American flag. The kind of shirt that kids wore to counter the (at that time) new and growing...
