Long before I ever got into Astronomy, I was doing gardening. If I can't
make something grow it just can't grow at all. I have a garden area ( not
all used ) in the field next door that's at lest 100ft x 150ft and I have at
lest 200+ Iris and 100+ I.Canna growing plus my Bamboo patch too. I've
thrown a lot of BS over the long years. As a kid when we lived in West L.A.
I helped tent to some 200 Rose's my folks had growing around the land we
lived on.

I hope you've got your scopes and computers to a dry place. It's cloudy
here, but not a drop of rain so far.

Yesterday I took a bag of steer manure out and spread it in my garden, as
it's suppost to be weted down, normaly the act of doing that stops the
rain from falling and I've got another bag at the ready for today.



Steer manu Isn't that the polite name for BS?

Dennis, you've just admitted to slinging you-know-what :-)

Seriously, now raining lightly in the L.A. (South Bay) area. We aren't
expected to get much today .. but much more on Monday or so. By then, I
may wish for a little BS myself: I will start on that project now :-)

I worry for my friends who have a farm a few miles east of Santa Rosa. You
drive *down* from the highway to their house, which is along a (nomrally)
small creek. During the last storm a couple of weeks ago they had 4-5" of
water in their garage. Fortunately, it is a tri-level house, with maybe
25% at garage level. Not so fortunately: They are visiting relatives near
San Diego this weekend, and have left someone of limited capability to
feed the animals (goats, shhep, llamas, chickens, etc.).
