GOP expecting 50,000 bipedal disease vectors at August convention

Seeding 50,000 enthusiastic Republican voters with coronavirus and then sending them home to their Republican friends and loved ones sounds like a diabolical Democratic plan, but no. It’s the current roadmap for a Donald Trump 2020 reelection victory. These folks have already abandonded their dignity and their country to worship...

The Daily Bucket–They've got Equinox birthdays, they've got Solstice Legs.

For the fifth year in a row, the tiny native Chorus Frogs have returned with the Winter Solstice moon, to breed in my back yard ponds. The new generation of frogs were born as egg sacs on the Equinox moon. And now, they are morphing from tadpoles into full-pledged, if tiny,...

Less than 30 days after the chorus frogs began mating on the Spring Solstice in the Frog Mitigation Area. Hundreds of tadpoles have already hatched from their egg sacs. Yet many egg sacs have not yet yielded their bounty. Every back of the envelope calculation shows I may soon have...

The Daily Bucket–Will a small Buddha sit on the Lotus leaf?

On the Winter Solstice eight weeks ago, I planted five 15-year-old lotus seeds. They rapidly germinated and sprouted, filling a small aquarium. Now they are producing lovely circular leaves. In a couple of months I’ll move them outside. From eight days ago. The uncurling leaf in this picture has since...
