Our biggest worry was that we had to leave the house in the…

Apparently we are extremely slow learners….. Or maybe the pigs are just faster than we are….. It seems like so many of my recent posts are about our on-going-pig-saga….. …..if you ever want an easy (and quick) reproducible supply of meat…..or pets…..or bridge partners…..or…..that extra hand for a game of canasta….. …..then, I highly recommend keeping pigs…..

…………………Tropical Storm (?) Eta is doing something out in the Gulf………………… Here let me show you….. There….. There…..isn’t that crystal clear!?!…..
