...the truth is plain and obvious...
Aye, and there's the rub. Such a statement is worthy of that great sage, Donald J. Trump; a little snarky and condescending. My impression is that Uncle Ken seeks the truth, a sometimes slippery notion, and Mr. Beagles is like Sgt. Joe Friday, "just the facts, Ma'am." I hope that the difference between truth and facts is not an elusive concept for my esteemed colleagues, and let the yammering continue.

I'm still enjoying the farming oriented videos on YouTube, learning something new every day. It's amazing how productive dirt can be when it's properly utilized. I saw one guy who had one acre's worth of produce growing, in raised beds and greenhouses. He was able to grow $200,000 worth of stuff, lots of "boutique" veggies and a lot of labor was involved, but still...not bad at all. I didn't notice the expenses involved, maybe he spent $195,000 on fertilizer and pesticides.
What's the direct sunlight situation on your balcony, Uncle Ken? There are probably some fruits or veggies that are perfectly suited for a micro-farm; I don't think it's too late to get something going.

There was another series of videos that I found interesting, and I thought of Mr. Beagles. Using a little tractor such as his new Kubota (did I get that right?) and a series of ropes and pulleys a tree stump is not a big challenge. Very cool to see the earth yield as the stump breaks free, not unlike pulling a tooth.

Happy August, gents. A year from now we'll be laughing at what a screwy year 2020 was and how we got through it in fine shape. We will be laughing won't we?
