Final Harvest 25
Winter is coming to Wisconsin. The garden is empty and this is the result. The carrots and tomatoes did well. Stephanie got one squash. The corn and beans were lost. Our lives as a piece of art.

Saints and Beer
I am confident at this point that beer is not against my religion. While Joseph Smith Jr was alive the early Saints were allowed mild (alcoholic) drinks.

THC, chocolate, video games, and you. I crave more attention than Stephanie has to give. Love Me!
