I was a James Taylor fan, but looking back through some Carole King songs, it's kind of creepy how he took over some of her vocals... with her seeming permissive of course, but still, kind of strange to see him, singing her lyrics to her songs, and her chiming in.

Carole has a lot of old content in 720p on her youtube channel, better resolution than what I had archived at least. Gotta luv JDownloader2 for getting this content.

... they'll take your soul if you let them, but don't you let them... I'll come running to see you again.

Take care, life is shorter than we realize, gone in the blink of an eye.

Why is a wheelbarrow called a wheelbarrow? Wouldn't it make more sense if it was called a wheelbarrel instead?
 
Sometimes I overwinter hot pepper plants, bring them indoors because although they are perennials, they can't tolerate freezing weather.

Almost 100% of the time, I can tell if they didn't survive the winter, because the stem has turned from green to brown. They usually die if I forget to water them often enough, or if they're in the garage where it can get below freezing if the outdoor weather is cold enough. I'm not putting a heater in the garage to try to change that, though I suppose it wouldn't eat up that much power if the heater had a good thermostat and I just set it to 36F or something and had it near the plants.

Last November, a few plants, instead of overwintering, I cut them at the base of the stem, and hung upside down in my garage. Unquestionably dying and dead within very few days, but this buys me time to harvest the peppers, opposed to the rest I pick as soon as it's a sure thing that the overnight temps will drop below freezing.

Same evening in November, I brought a live plant of similar type, into the garage in a pot, alive still. It was still alive till some cold days in Jan. made the garage below freezing then it died.

Its stems turned completely brown, yet the plants I have had cut and hanging since November, still have green stems ???????????

I've noticed this before, but never really thought about it. Why would a dead plant still in its soil, turn brown while those cut off, stay green? Of course I only mean the stems, the leaves withered to dry crunchiness within half a week, but they too, are still green.

Realized my phone was not on the stand beside me where it usually is. Went looking for it. Checked all the possible places. Didn't see it. Checked a couple of places again .... there it was .... less than six inches from where I had looked five minutes earlier.

This is not a small phone. How can I miss it that close?

They took your phone to put the tracker app on it, then in a rush they got sloppy and put it back not quite where they found it.

It happens. Especially with age.

I needed to find my new pants to get ready for work. Moved to a new room so it was in one of the boxes. Took me 1 hour 45 minutes to finally find it, going through 9 or 10 boxes over and over. I kept overlooking the shopping bag it was in.
 
Yeah just an hour ago, I couldn't find the BBQ pork in the freezer because it was in my hand, I'd taken it out to look behind it, for the BBQ pork. Granted I have too many similar looking containers in the freezer but none look like a phone.
 
Walked by a box that was supposed to have a red LED lit, but didn't. Power supply for something else, so checked that. Dead.

Checked around, found a spare/substitute that would do the deed. Replaced.

Done for the day.
 
Something funny with the aphids this year, eating things they normally don't, like plants with strong scents or acid in them, tomatoes and cilantro in particular are usually pretty resistant to aphids.
 
Found a new musician that I like. Her 1st album is entitled Brol. Brol is slang in Belgium for "a heap of random small objects, or a nondescript object of little value; a place of disorder or shambles; or a fuss". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brol_(album)

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this thread about pointless disconnected blabs, ramblings, and utterances.
 
Just got back from Vancouver Canada, and I think having dollar and two dollar coins is pretty cool. In the US, you have to carry like a pound of change to buy anything significant, like a sandwich or coffee but up there you just need a few coins. Plus they worked in the ticket machines for the trains. I think not working in things like vending machines is what stopped the dollar coin in the US from being successful.

Another nice thing was no pennies, since they got rid of them.
