DIRTYBENNY WRITES

I recently had another gopher attack taking out all but one of my cabbages, the remaining carrots, and even my dill which I have never had eaten before. Anyway, imagine my surprise when I went out yesterday to an old woodpile that was disintegrating and found pounds of honey mushrooms growing.  I used to pick these as a teenager with my Dad and uncles in the hills of Pennsylvania.  In Pennsylvania, we always had to be careful about copperhead snakes which we encountered not infrequently near the down trees.  That's not a problem where I now live.  As a follow up to this post, one of the key elements of mushroom identification is the spore print.  Honey mushrooms have a white spore print.  I put my picked mushrooms in a brown paper bag and was hoping to find my brown bag covered in white spores.  Unfortunately, this is what I found.... A brown spore print means they are NOT honey mushrooms, and likely Deadly Gallerinas.  They are going back to the ...

 DD does a good job of not evaluating the Dell entity in isolation, but rather in the context of "Another One Malfunctions".  As someone already pointed out, the Michael Dell entity doesn't blink in their joint video clip.  https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2025/09/maxine-doesnt-blink.html https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2024/07/another-bizarre-one.html Unfortunately, most of the videos from this post have been removed by Youtube.  https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2023/11/over-70-blinks-in-31-seconds.html

It seems that whenever I venture off the compound, I have an unusual encounter.  I ventured out to buy some limes today.  I stopped for gas on the way.  I was filling my gas tank listening to a podcast with ear buds on....not exactly inviting an interaction.   I kept hearing someone shouting behind me, HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI....to the point of it having to turn around to see what was going on.   I turned around and there was a car pulled in next to me.  In the  back seat sat a young blonde boy in a car seat, maybe 4 years old.  He was frantically waving at me and continuing to shout HI HI HI.   I smiled, waved and said HI HI HI.   I smiled in wonder.  He kept watching me as to what I was doing, intermittently waving.  I waved back.  I finished, smiled at him, and went to buy my limes.  I wonder why he wanted to make contact with me and for me to acknowledge his presence.

This blog has had a ridiculously high number of views this month, sometimes up to 2500 views a day.  I am now wondering if it is a target for Blogger's new policies rolled out this morning.
