Lampang, Thailand
Hello Dear Friends:
Thailand in general is a mix of complete chaos and very kind, peaceful people. I have been treated very kindly for no reason I think other than it is their nature to do so. I met with the manager of the Thai Elephant Conservaton Centre yesterday, and learned much about the issues pertaining to domestic elephant conservation and the implications on wild elephants and conservations lands; more later with images when I can get to a reliable con… Continue

Listen to singing bowls!Diamond Sutra
The Buddhist text known around the world as the Diamond Sutra (although a more accurate translation of the Sanskrit title might be, for instance, the Vajra Cutter Sutra) is a short Mahayana sutra of the Perfection of Wisdom (prajna-paramita) genre, which teaches the practice of the avoidance of abiding in extremes of mental attachment.Saṃsāra
Samsara (Sanskrit: संसार) is the endless cycle of suffering caused by birth, death and rebirth (i.e. reincarnation) within Buddhism, Bön, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Vaishnavism and other related religions. According to these religions, one's karmic "account balance" at the time of death is inherited via the state at which a person is reborn.[citation needed] During the course of each worldly life, actions committed (for good or ill) determine the future destiny of each being in the process of becoming (evolution or devolution).About YogaDork

Solipsism is the philosophical idea that one's own mind is all that exists. Solipsism is an epistemological or ontological position that knowledge of anything outside the mind is unjustified. The external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist. In the history of philosophy, solipsism has served as a skeptical hypothesis.Hand (grinder) Jive - a photo essay - Grinders • Home-Barista.com

Are by any chance from the DeLand area? DHS class of 75 or so? I remember a Chandler who took photos for the student newspaper and yearbook back then.
Here's a picture of your patch:
As you can see, your broccoli are thriving:
Hope all is well,Mike
Thanks so much for the amazing demo! I have only one (yeah, right...) question: why isn't everyone doing this obvious, great way of irrigation? I guess the best ideas are the simple ones. It's just a matter of time. But, hey - it makes so much sense. If you can smell water, then it's being wasted. But, 95% of sprinkled water is wasted? Shocking!
Thanks, aso for your generosity is providing all of us with hose to do the drip watering. I can't wait to rig mine up properly. Especially since I travel! What a godsend.
I bet if you gave your class regularly, you'd have a crowd.
Regards,
Michael
