The ‘pland-emic’ paranoia has had unexpected negative effect; the number of licensed foster care families in Nevada has been cut in half! Now the desperate state of Nevada has turned to its National Guard personnel to deal with a growing problem of lack of foster care parents: “Children in foster care need strong and supportive caregivers who are willing to work with biological families and the Department of Family Services to reunite children with their families. Historically, military families and individuals have proven to be the type of special people who provide loving and stable homes to support children.”-Allyson Manumaleuna, Foster Care Recruitment and Training for Clark County Department of Family Services

Chubbuck Days, Hot Rods return for 2023: Skull-T-Rod
I’ve been attending Chubbuck Days since 1998, the previous Chubbuck Days car show was in 2016, with much reduced participation and many of the vehicles being for sale.
Ford T-Bucket at this year’s (11-12AUG2023) Chubbuck Days:
After 2016, the so-called neighborhood improvement projects blocked access to Cotant Park, along with the park’s playground and tennis courts being ripped-up and replaced by a parking lot (also, the substitute park chosen for Chubbuck Days was too small to accommodate a car show), with the projects completed just in time for the ‘Pland-emic’ Paranoia which resulted in the cancelation of all local public events.

Hunger Games U.S.A.: Wealthy Ranch ‘locked down’ over Infected Produce?

On 25JUL2023, 79 square miles known as the Stevenson Ranch area of the Santa Clarita Valley (in Los Angeles County) was placed under ‘lockdown’ (officially a quarantine) due to fruit infected by the Asian Tau Fly! The area is known for homes with median prices of more than $1-million dollars!
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) says residents can eat their fruits and vegetables , but they are not allowed to bring fruit/vegetables outside the quarantine area, also fruit trees and vegetable crops must be inspected and sprayed with a bacteria-based insecticide called Spinosad. Unwanted fruit must be disposed of by double bagging and placed in specially marked trash bins.
KTLA report:
This is not the first time a Tau Fly quarantine has been imposed, in 2021 a Tau Fly quarantine was imposed for a 94 square mile area around San Jose, in Northern California.
MedFly (Mediterranean Fruit Fly) quarantines are common in California.
If you think you have fruits and vegetables infested with Tau Fly larvae, call the CDFA Pest Hotline: 1-800-491-1899.

Homegrown Potatoes & Onions in Pumpkin Soup.
July 2023
My way of gardening is controversial, just throw it in the Idaho dirt and see if it grows. No fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides. Just water and Sun, it works good enough for me.
I planted a white-onion two Summers ago, now it split into two onions.
This Spring, I threw some potatoes in the ground and already got a small harvest.
Pumpkin puree makes a good soup base (canned or make your own). I used salt, and the per-i-ful spices typical of pumpkin pie which requires hella sugar to equalize ( I like sugar, not for diabetics!). You must experiment with the flavorings you add to the pumpkin base, don’t blame me! I also used the potatoes & onions I recently harvested.
The onions, having grown for the past two Summers, are tough, I had to switch to a serrated knife to cut/saw them and then fry them to soften them.
Unfortunately, the potatoes are bland, even after boiling in salt water. That’s what happens when you just let plants grow ‘wild’, never know what you’re gonna get.
I made garlic toast, which is always good with ‘heavy’ soups, and you can use to sop-up the remnants left behind in the bowl.
