"I didn't know that!"
Every so often Joe casually mentions an event in his life that is new to me.
After 61 years you'd think that we knew the whole picture.
Last night he mentioned being in Fargo North Dakota. Really? Why? "Oh I was on a plane and we stopped there. It was so cold. The runway was covered in snow. It was DC-2. One of the first planes to carry passengers."
I started pumping him with questions. Apparently he was stationed in the Coast Guard in Seattle, he flew back to Chicago to see his mom. This flight was all he could afford at the time. The plane stopped in Fargo to pick up a few passengers.

What!
If you don't get a laugh our of this story than I am humiliating myself for no good reason.
I decided to try to plant a few tomato plants on the deck. I had to empty out some pots in the front yard, replant those and get the pots to the deck. I put three pots in the wheelbarrow and tried to push it up the hill. It was too heavy and rolled back down into the woods.
My second plan was to empty half of the soil from the pots, carry to the deck and push the half empty wheelbarrow up the hill. This actually worked but I was exhausted and decided to wait on my project.
I kept looking at the half empty pots and decided it would be a breeze if I just went for it.
I found a half empty bag of very wet soil and decided to use it. It was full of worms which is a good thing. Then I went into the house to bring out the bag of organic soil I had just purchased, to finish the job. This was easy, I felt so good. Suddenly I noticed that the organic soil looked like brown rice.
You guessed it. I added part of a sack of organic brown rice into the pot.
