definitely autumn...it might get to freezing tonight!

with the cold weather coming, i don’t know what to do with my tobacco plants. they haven’t bloomed yet, so it is not recommended to “harvest” the leaves. the plants aren’t nearly as big as some of the others i’ve seen in online growers’ forums. but i don’t think the plants are going to like the cold weather yet to come. guess i’ve got nothing to lose by cutting the leaves and hanging them to dry. more experimenting.

oh, the messiah, the chosen one, the BO had his big 30 minute commercial last night. i thought my time was better used by playing a new video game and waiting for the punditry to clear the chaff later.

i did read some online comments...evidently this tv commerical had his followers in tears due to the material and lighting and music and transitions. i find it odd that a salesman has to spend so much money to sell a product so late in the buying season. i wonder what it would be like to be such an ardent follower of anything. is that how zealots of (insert cause of the day/week/month/decade here) felt? what’s worse were the threats made, some not so veiled, about the rioting/civil disobedience/anger that everyone should “express” if the BO is not elected.

i don’t know how the words of any POLITICIAN could possible move someone to tears. think about it...a politician’s words...and audiences crying. $400 million dollars and crying converts.

now think about this--$400 million dollars from unknown sources, civil disobedience, and rioting. i don’t think this is what the founding fathers had in mind when they came up with the idea of “free” elections.

by the way, why are you growing TABACCO?

Try just moving the plants into big pots over the winter. You could put them in your pub and let them grow some more.
