What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

Where is the worst smelling place you’ve been?

I mean absolutely zero disrespect to this state as a whole but when we drove home from Yellowstone past a corporate cow "farm" in Nebraska, it smelled like the entire state farted at the same time.  I almost threw up and the smell lingered STRONG for 5 miles and could still be faintly smelled at 10. It's like when you drive past a dead skunk and can't close the vent up in time and it sears into your nostrils rendering your nose completely useless for at least two hours.  I'm sure Nebraska is lovely but that was an atrocity to smell!

    Yeah Nebraska takes the cake there. That was the worst smell I have ever experienced and I have driven past farms in Texas that were almost as big but didn't smell like that, so I don't know what is going on there.

    I went to college in Greeley, Colorado. Meat packing is a huge industry there, and back then the feedlots were practically in city limits. Plus some of the processing itself is a smelly business. It wasn't bad all the time, but depending on the wind and what they were processing there were days when "the smell of money" was overwhelming.

    I went to the Coors plant in Golden Colorado when I was 18 or 19 and the smell of the hops and all they do there was SOOOOOOO bad. To this day if I smell anything remotely like that, I get sick to my stomach. Oddly, cereal places and the Nestle place out here have a similar smell, just not as strong.
