The real Concord grapes are seeded. Apparently (I’m getting ahead on my week’s ration of learning something new every day) the seedless Concord (more planted by gardeners than commercial farmers) is actually a similar but unrelated grape.

I don’t think I could find Concord table grapes in the stores if my life depended on it, but my (mis)understanding is that it’s the variety customarily employed for grape jelly—especially Welch’s, originated by a Dr. Welch, who, in case you haven’t had your minimum daily requirement of irony today, was a dentist.

The really sad thing here is that at least Musk and Kanye have occasionally contributed something of use to the world.

It would work in a pinch.

Farmer’s market is up and running here, too, although I haven’t been yet.

I’m not actually an ornithologist and maybe I’m just subconsciously anthropomorphizing them but I still feel like the “marking territory and attracting mates” tropes in re bird behaviors are getting a bit tired, seems like an overly convenient way of hand waving away anything that can’t be explained, but I think birds…

I rolled my window down, didnt hear anything, and pulled out to BLAM. I went pirouetting out into a cornfield…

I took some engineering classes there. The photos of the naval equipment, pipelining equipment and forestry machines are amazing. Ont he edge of Longview , TX is there testing grounds. Seen them driving around 320 ton capacity overburden trucks, massive forestry machines and forklifts that life huge objects.

For what it’s worth, Mitsubishi at least tried this with Mirage. You could get them in hot pink, green, brown, yellow. I think that was the selling point of the car along with being cheap for the sake of being cheap.

Oddly enough my first thought was “aircraft tire”, which have little if any tread and sure enough a bit of googling finds this;

You want traction in Antarctica? You can’t go wrong with Ponies.

The tyres were a big miscalculation, and apparently Poulter (the designer) had wanted to create his own but the timescales of the build made him resort to using some from a Goodyear vehicle that had been designed for oil prospecting in swamps. It’s also important to keep in context that tyre technology & research was…

Is it being different, or is it cos it's a lease, or resale? I bemoan the lack of variety with you friend.

Wow I've never wanted an Aspen so bad!

That old beast is kinda gorgeous in the best malaise era sort of way.

That reminds me, I have no idea if this is stock or not but I want one for my car. It would just cover a nasty scrape that I want to forget.
