That house in Churchill was ahead if its time! CA builders put up thousands of houses with that roofline and window layout all through the 1970’s.

I’m reading that walkie-talkies and fingerprint scanners have been exploding as well.

Here’s a glimpse of what they started with.

Another right wing kook. Hope he takes his schtick out of Ohio.
We have work to do.

@wtg Who the hell is Vivek Ramaswamy?
Does he eat cats?

RE: Springfield, OH
OK. I’ll start. Hire 25 more firefighters? I can’t think of anything more expensive and less productive.
Are immigrants running around setting fires? If they are I haven’t heard about it.
And neither has anyone else.
25 more police officers? To do what? Keep these people from going to work every day?

They’re not really trying. Those arguments are weird as hell.

A landscape designer friend of mine once told me that a landscape should never contain more than 7 different plants. Any more and it’s no longer a landscape - it’s a plant collection.
If it’s variety you want, take a look at the host’s YouTube. Her garden is much larger and appears to feature at least 3 of whatever she could find that will grow in Wisconsin.
Lots of annuals.
I would never hire your landscape designer friend. Only 7 different plants? What is even the point of gardening?
I will not look at the host's youtube. I cannot stand her mewling repetitive adjectives!
Turn the sound off. You’ll like the garden.

Just did that.
Very convenient.

RE: Chinese Bluegrass
I think of this group as more of a classical crowd but maybe I’ve mis-judged.

@Jodi Did you see what they started with?
Dead flat and all scraped to bare dirt.

RE: The most spectacular garden I’ve ever seen.
I have to believe that garden is irrigated, especially the lawns. No one is going to keep up with hand watering that yard.
The water bills must be mind blowing!

RE: Polls
@Axtremus I don’t put a lot of stock in to what Nate has to say - not since 2016 when he was at least partially responsible for giving us Trump.
Surely the new owners can’t be any worse.

@pique The host is building a pretty spectacular multi-acre garden of her own somewhere in Wisconsin.
It’s worth a look as well.

Chinese Bluegrass
This is definitely not a bluegrass crowd, but this is unusual enough to share. Its like nothing I’ve ever heard.
Two questions. What is the two stringed instrument playing what would typically be the fiddle part?
And what makes that banjo sound so sweet and pure?
Link to videoEdit: it appears to be an erhu, and spellcheck really hates that word.
