Ups and Downs

Yesterday was a particularly demoralizing gardening day. A groundhog devastated about one third of my garden.  It is amazing the amount of damage one groundhog can do in a few hours.  I thought I found its hole and had a trap for it the day before.

Also, this is my first year attempting to grow oyster mushrooms in a home depot bucket and I started to get mushrooms fruiting today  YAY!

We are all given a personality template. All is part of the design of the simulation.  Reflecting on my life, I remember spending every Friday evening with my grandparents after work as a teenager and in college...wanting to hear their stories of what they experienced in their life.  I had no interest in alcohol or girls...I wanted to know who I am and where I came from.   My paternal grandfather was put into an orphanage as a child after his father was killed in the coal mines and his wife died from a broken heart afterwards.  M...
