Inorganic Farming

I broke down and dusted the yellow squash with Sevin Dust, after trying neem oil a few times. It's tough to grow a crop that's grown commercially nearby, because there's a massive reservoir of pests floating around. This will be the last time I plant yellow squash, but I do hope to get a reasonable yield to justify all my work. One year, it got so bad that I just tore out the planting rather than fighting the pests.

Pogi got overwhelmed by a long line of horses that came by the house. He got too excited, and didn't jump the fence, but started biting Halo. I stopped him, and no one got hurt, but Halo saw that I punished Pogi, and violence is forbidden.

The battery in my android tablet is worn out, and now doesn't hold much of a charge. It still works fine, it just has to be connected a lot to the charger. It's over 1-1/2 years old, and well used (mostly as an eBook reader).

There's additional concern that the Icelandic volcano that has begun to erupt will spew enough particulate matter to further cool areas in the Western Hemisphere.
