"Oh, sure" says the Rodeo Director, "no problem. You can shoot from the bucking gates. Hell, you can go ahead and shoot from the arena if you want, as long as you know how to stay out of the way."
We live in a very special and unique community with an amazingly diverse population. But have you ever been curious about the island itself…it’s geology, ecology and history. Or the culture, the social science and demographics that give insight into the past, present and future of our island and its population.

I must confess that I viewed the Vashon-Maury Island Garden Club largely as a passel of peculiar, singly-focused (mostly) women who meet occasionally to obsess about plants and wear silly hats. In my own defense I was not entirely wrong

Soil is the least appreciated aspect of the holy trinity of life on this planet. In fact, soil suffers abuse as well because, unlike air and water, its value to us is not readily apparent. First there’s our common name for it. Dirt is supposed to be on the ground, and when it shows up anywhere else, that place or object is said to be "dirty" and unacceptable until it has been "cleaned". Most of us also know that dirt is a medium in which things grow and that it is made of sand, clay and some black stuff. Dirt holds water and the nutrients we put in it around the roots and supports a plant so it can grow toward the sun. Many of us think that dirt could be replaced by just about anything that has the same general physical characteristics, as hydroponics has shown.

One of my favorite ways of blowing off steam or working off a case of mad is to pull weeds. Several times a week I go out in the yard, put on my gloves, grab a trowel and a pair of pruning shears, and go to town on the buttercups, Stinking Robert, blackberries, and dandelions. Pulling weeds make me feel better, and it makes the garden look better.
I’ve just invented a new cookie recipe that my son pronounced, "Superb!" Here it is, below. It contains no cane sugar nor corn syrup product nor gluten, just great flavor and nutrition.
