Paid Reviews on Amazon?

All I know, is that a company named, Uteful that I purchased ink cartridges from on Amazon.com, sent me a letter promising me a $50 gift card if I would publish a 5-Star Review about their product. I decided to write a 2-Star review on Amazon because the company tried to bribe me. Well, I just got the email from Amazon denying to publish my review. Apparently, they are okay with this practice. So, don't trust Amazon reviews. They can be bought and sold.

Tahitian Treat

Remember how great we thought Tahitian Treat was when we were kids? It's still great. Pro-tip, it's even better with a little vodka in it.

Another Roof Call

Hello? Hello? Hello? Yeah this is him. My roof? Yeah I have a roof. Hail? Oh I don't think I have any hail damage. It was the weirdest thing! When the hail came through, it hit everyone's house except mine! Yeah I know right? It completely missed my house so I won't need you to come over and look at my roof, but it's still there. Okay bye.

13+ Year Old Wine

I made this wine 14 years ago, and bottled it 16 months after that. So take your pick if it's 13 or 14 years old. Anyway, I've decided that I need to drink some of my wines in my back stock once in a while. If I don't, someday I will be gone and someone else will get to have them all. They tend to be pretty good. Like this one, sometimes they're pretty strong. This wine was made with very sour wild grapes accompanied by a generous amount of honey.

Yevgeny Prigozhin Dead?

Yevgeny Prigozhin allegedly died in a plane crash. Now who could have seen that coming?

Anger vs Logic

Logic can show people that what they're doing doesn't make sense. Then, often, they get really angry! Why do you think politicians are angry so frequently? Why are the far extremes always upset? It doesn't matter left or right, they are angry and they want to shut the other side up. It's mostly just because their arguments don't make sense. Anger is being substituted (for logic) to try to cover up the stupidity.

First Apple!

Several years ago, I bought two bare root apple trees and dug out lots of clay and back filled with compost. A couple years later, my wife was not impressed and said we would never get apples. So, I decided to cover the tops of the trees this year, because the deer always eat them off every year. So, my Chestnut Crabapple produced one apple this year. We're still waiting for the dwarf Honeycrisp. But our first apple was delicious and though small, was shared by the whole family!
