Gardening for the Apocalypse

I'm going to say something controversial in North America. If you want to understand the Indian reservation program, then you need to study Scotland, Ireland, and Whales. The British empire had 1,000 years of practice before hitting North America. They were not vibe coding when they landed. This was a well practiced and deliberately executed formula that was refined over a dozen generations of subjugation.

A deep dive into the British royal family's obsession with kids.

I am taking advantage of this polar vortex to freeze concentrate my apple wine. The image below shows a semi frozen pail of apple wine / cider which I made from the pressed juice of apples collected in the orchard 2 months ago. The middle pail is actually 2 pails separated with a spacer. The upper pail has holes drilled in it to make a large cullender, which is also a component of my homemade cider press. The upper pail contains the concentrated apple wine (apple jack) with the ice removed. Here is a close up of the removed ice. It also acts as a filter which removes a lot of the yeast and apple sediment.

I've been watching the sun every day for over ten years. I have never seen anything like this. An X class flare launched directly at earth in the wee hours of the morning. And as it did, an even larger plasma filament intercepted the eruption and swallowed it up. Such amazing resolution and beautiful!
