I have removed the link to the Z Man because I finally came to the conclusion that the guy has to be a psy-op plant from the IDF. One of the many false directives that the other side has planted in our front garden, along the lines of good old meth Jordy but not as obvious.
Important from Eaton Rapids Joe:
This is a great time of year to rogue out invasive aliens. Euonymus bungeanus is closely related to the Eastern Wahoo (a name that cracks me up). The best way to tell the difference between the two involves the color of the flower.

ReplyDeleteAh, then as mentioned at Foggy, I second the sentiments expressed there and the excellent post.
DeleteThank you. I like to pop in on Mac now and again since his heart problems, just to assure myself that he's doing okay, as I do here. I'm not at all sure what I could do if he wasn't but me and him have talked about all manner of things over the years, some personal. He has become a kind of personal friend who I have never met. I love to read his posts, as he has a unique style which brings a smile to one's face however bad the subject may be.
