This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power.

I tried a new thing in the garden-“planting” an egg under tomato plants as a slow release fertilizer. I only did it under half the tomato’s just in case it was a terrible mistake. The experiment is on!
