Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Sunday Morning Garden Chat: Tennessee Summer

Commentor HarryC:

Late summer in Tennessee means the gardens are getting somewhat shaggy. It also means the butterflies are out in force and the goldfinches are waiting in the wings for the seeds to ripen.

The surprise lilies (aka naked ladies) are always a treat, visually for us and as nectar for others.
Sunday Morning Garden Chat: Tennessee Summer 1

Ten years ago the deer population forced me to give up vegetable gardening. (Thankfully, there are lots of intrepid folks who supply our local producers’ market!)

Until this year, the deer didn’t care for the Mexican Sunflowers but they’ve decided those are tasty, too. Only one [at far left] was able to outgrow their reach.
Sunday Morning Garden Chat: Tennessee Summer 2

That one Tithonia makes the butterflies very happy.

Sunday Morning Garden Chat: Tennessee Summer 3

As do the zinnias.

Sunday Morning Garden Chat: Tennessee Summer 4

There are swarms of tiny butterflies on the lantana. Sadly, I couldn’t capture the whole bank in a nice shot, nor would one sit still for the close up.

Summer isn’t complete without a sweet little yellow flower beside the ramp up to the porch.

***********

“The hottest thirty-day period in recorded Boston history” was not kind to my poor tomato plants — especially since, during the last worst week or so, I just hid indoors entirely. Went out to check on them yesterday, now that it’s both cooler and less humid, and was pleased to discover that at least some of the plants haven’t completely succumbed to blight and/or wilt, but those trellised rootpouches are a sorry sight at the moment.

(And to think, back in April’s gloriously clement days, I was hoping that cutting back on my tomatoes would leave me time to dig up and replace some of the flower raised beds… )

What’s going on in your garden(s), this week?

    Damn, the golden buzz allowed me to be Frist by cracky. Beautiful garden that the alcohol fueled insomnia has helped me to greatly appreciate. Beauty in all of of it’s many forms, is to be cherished, and is evidence that a loving creator desires us to be happy.

    Not meant to disrail comments and I do not want to discuss spouse back surgery just yet, but spouse is home and alive and I am beyond grateful. I had more to say but forget. That is how fear works in our lives.  Medical fear is beyond politics and beyond whatever else.

    My sick spouse has been a grumpy guy. He is reinvested in the idea that there are good people in the world because his medical staff, nurses, nurses aides, custodial staff have all been amazing. Any weakness in that chain of responsibility could have killed him. But every medical person in that chain of resposibility did their job.

    My favorite was the nurse from Belize, who has worked in Ohio nursing her whole life. Due to retire soon.  ” I llke Ohio, but I love Belize. Ohio let me retire comfortably to Belize”

    ETA Meanwhile she spent her whole professional life nursing in Ohio. Belize should have had her.  I don’t know why they didn’t.  Meanwhile we did have her.

     

    Luddite here. Why is my comment in block quotes when I wasn’t quoting anyone. I was just commenting.

    I thought he was going to die alone in the hospital. Instead he is home with me, still needing medical attention, but home. With those who need him.

    This has been a grace given to me that all those families under Covid did not get. I will not forget.

    Anne Laurie, the heat and humidity haven’t been kind to anyone’s tomatoes. In the spells of cooler nights some blossoms set into fruit, so now I’ve got four or five heirlooms growing and one slowly ripening; but my sungold cherry tomatoes are spindly and the tomatoes few and tiny. And I faithfully watered even when it was a beastly 79° at night. I cut back too, only 6 plants total. Cutting back more next year, it just hasn’t been worth the effort for years.

    Harry C. — thanks for the pics! Like Satby, I’m digging the Naked Lillies too.

    My Tomatoes are in the total production stage — I has soooo many sweet 100s and (yay!) Yellow pear that donations to my neighbors will be happening in short order. Previously, the yellow pear would collapse with blight every year — but after solarizing the soil two years ago, I haven’t had that problem. The Rutgers and Celebrity are plentiful and my Romas got a slow start but are now doing well.  Sauce soon! The Immp wants me to jar some and sent to down to him.

    The great disappointment are my peppers. Maybe they pick up again later? My tomatillos are huge and just starting to fruit.

    @sab:  I am so glad to hear things are not as dire as they might have been. I’m sure you are exhausted. You cannot care for another if you yourself are without rest and overwhelmed (experience speaking!) So take care of yourself and rest up when possible.

    Yep, tomatoes cooked on the vine.  Just hold a plate of pasta under them and squeeze.

    Something’s nibbling just the very tips of my green beans; I’d normally blame squirrels or woodchuck but those bastards don’t do mild damage.  Maybe rabbit?  The ones I see in my yard have never touched the garden.  They just nibble whatever I have growing that I pass off as ‘lawn’.

    Your flutterby gardens look a whole lot more orderly than mine do Harry. Very nice.

    The one outside my kitchen window looks good as does the Zen garden, but I am able to water those with ease. The driveway island gardens take a lot more hose to reach tho and this year I decided to let them fare on their own. They looked like hell all thru July and who could blame them? We were living in hell. As soon as the calendar turned, so did our weather. Mostly mid to upper 80s with only a day here and there touching the 90s. And now the island flowers are bouncing back. All my purple cone flowers that burned up are reblooming, as is so much else. Nature is resilient.

    We’re even gonna have a few days with highs in the 70s this week. August is giving us more than just a few breaks from the heat this year.

    @satby: The naked ladies are also called “ghost lilies.” There are a couple right off my porch and I’m looking at one now. The flower has dried up but the long green stem is still there. They don’t have leaves, and I guess they rebuild their energy from the photosynthesis in their stems.

    @Geminid: The leaves come up in the spring and die back like the other bulb greenery does. They look a bit like daffodils that didn’t bloom, IIRC. The flowers come up naked of greenery at the end of summer. They naturalize too, each of the clumps in Harry D’s picture above probably came from a single bulb planted initially. They’re kind of expensive as single bulbs so I hadn’t gotten them yet, but knowing they spread will take some of the sting out of that price 😆

    My cherry tomatoes survived the summer, but the pepper plants did not fare so well. The grass has finally recovered, so mowing is on the to do list for today.

    Carpe Diem!

    After the disaster that ensued as a consequence of my taking Garden Chat’s advice on adding coffee grounds to West of Eden, I hesitate to ask for gardening advice, but throwing caution to the damn wind, I will.

    i live along a lake. This week several hundred carp corpses rolled up on my beach. The biologists claim they died of herpes! The WOKE! critters in my hyper-caffeinated garden, prefer personpes and advise this is not a proper subject for my lame sense of humor.

    Anyway, a long time ago in what now seems like a galaxy far far away, from when I was studying Parson Weemsian history, I have a dim memory of the Native Americans teaching the Pilgrims to bury fish in their gardens.

    Query: Should I bury the corpulent carp corpses in West of Eden?

    @WaterGirl: This:

    This week I continue to deal with an overly WOKE! West of Eden. The conditions are so surreal even Salvador  Dali would be shaking his head in disbelief.

    It began this Spring when I learned, here  at Garden Chat, that coffee grounds would be good for West of Eden. I asked my neighbor, Phil Anders, ( he put the pro in creation ) the owner of our local caffeine dispensary, locally known as the Dirty Grind, for “some” coffee grounds.

    In the middle of July, making my first visit of the season to my garden, intent on planting 2 hospice tomatoes and an expired packet of Belgium endive seeds, I discovered, to my horror, a Himalayan like mountain of coffee grounds covering West of Eden.

    The caffeine from this monumental mound of coffee grounds had fully WOKE! my sleepy weed patch to the point AOC would have been astonished. Aside from the saucer-eyed moles tunneling at rates not seen since Kevin Bacon was running for his life in Tremors; and, butterflies flying at speeds that would make a machery of Tom Cruise’s aerial antics in Top Gun, the snails, sliding like Jean-Claude Killy through caffeinated mounds, were so WOKE! they were forming committees to address the chronic homelessness problem afflicting the garden’s beer guzzling slugs.

    Surprise lillies are the perfect name. I always forget about our dozen or so that pop up and then all the sudden there they are.

    Our produce is a little late this year since I delayed getting stuff in the ground due to tax season. But we are finally getting some squash and tomatoes. My peppers all died while we were on vacation.

    Good morning from our new rental home in ABQ! Pretty much everything is unpacked except for the books, which are the easiest and most fun to organize and next on the to-do list.

    Two questions, one garden-related, the other about travel:

    1. We have a nice, albeit unkempt, garden, which I intend to kemp. We couldn’t plant tulips in our previous place because critters, which I think (hope!) are less prevalent here. Any recommendations for good but not too expensive bulb sources?
    2. Ms. O might go to a conference in Syracuse, NY in October. I might tag along. Any recommendations for places to go/things to do in the area if one were to tack on a few days afterwards?

    TIA. Love the garden pix. One of my favorite weekly BJ features.

    @O. Felix Culpa: Satby recommended Colorblends a while back. I went overboard and ordered a lot a few years ago and then was tardy (let weeks go by) in getting them in the ground. Some of the smaller ones didn’t make it, but a lot did survive and they’re doing well here in NoVA. I’ll be ordering more late this summer.

    Make sure you’re ready to plant them when they arrive!

    HTH a little. Good luck!

    Finally getting a break from the heat here in NE Illinois. Highs in the 70s these last few days, with the same predicted for the next week and a half. The mosquitoes ruin it–they’re out in force after the recent rains –but at least I can go out in long sleeves/long pants and feel comfortable.

    The Rose of Sharon shrubs have exploded and the bees and hummingbirds love those flowers. Cardinal flowers and liatris are also in bloom. I have some common milkweed that had several visits by monarchs, but while eggs hatched none of the caterpillars survived more than a few days. Bummed about that, but I did get a few more plants from a friend and while the existing greenery died, new shoots emerged from the rhizomes. So, next year there will be even more milkweed.

    Acorns are pinging off the roof, one early sign of fall. But the goldenrod hasn’t yet bloomed and the goldfinch males are still bright yellow, so there’s still some summer to be had.

    I have come to the conclusion that the landscaping guy we had hired to entirely deal with our front yard is not coming this year (no workers), and since we quit watering the grass, it is crunchy out there and a couple of neighbours have complained.  I decided I can do the work so I’m almost done with the largest French drain that was going to be installed, one more smaller one to go.  I

    Last week I found a Pulaski at ReStore, fixed the loose handle with wedges and that made trenching much easier, though “easy” is relative.  I hope to get things close to planting stage before next spring.  There will be no turf grass and while it will be green and mostly natives, I suppose the lack of turf grass will still be unacceptable to some.  This is a desert and groundwater levels are in decline; I simply can’t in good conscience water a lawn here.

    @sab: None of the countries in the Caribbean region pay nurses enough to keep them for long. The medical facilities are often lacking as well. It’s a tough situation.

    Another Scott

    August 14, 2022 at 2:22 pm

    @Betty: Dean Baker at CEPR often talks about the way “free trade” doesn’t cover high status occupations like medicine.  Beyond that, he’s thought about ways to make things better for the source countries. E.g. PBS.org:

    […]

    Our doctors also try to prevent nurse practitioners and other less highly paid professionals from performing tasks for which they are perfectly competent, like prescribing drugs. The idea is to reserve as much business as possible for themselves. In addition, we get a bloated system of medical education which ends up being incredibly expensive. It makes sense for a student to incur large debt given what doctors earn, but it would be much better to have lower paid doctors and affordable medical school. The high cost of medical school can be a major barrier to students from working class or poor backgrounds who may be reluctant to take the risk associated with medical school debt, even if they are able to arrange the loans and financial aid to cover the cost.

    If our trade deals were actually about free trade, we would have been working to reduce or eliminate the barriers that make it difficult for doctors and other foreign-trained professionals from practicing in the United States. While ensuring quality in these professions is important, there surely are ways to guarantee competence that don’t discriminate to the same extent as our current regulations.

    If our trade deals were actually about free trade, we would have been working to reduce or eliminate the barriers that make it difficult for doctors and other foreign-trained professionals from practicing in the United States.
    The sort of issues posed by ensuring professional standards is not qualitatively different from the issues that arise in other areas. We want to benefit from being able to import cheaper fruit and vegetables or fish from other countries. But we also have to make sure that these products are safe for consumers in the United States. This requires inspection systems that guarantee these products will meet U.S. standards. The same logic applies to the safety and quality standards we impose on imported cars and a wide range of other consumer products.

    Developing professional standards that ensure competence without discriminating against foreign professionals should not be beyond the capabilities of our trade negotiators. And it would lead to enormous economic gains for the country, disproportionately benefiting people at the middle and the bottom rather than those at the top.

    […]

    The other point is that we should want to make sure that developing countries didn’t suffer from a “brain drain” by having their professionals leave the country. It would be a relatively straightforward matter to design a system of compensation whereby the earnings of their expatriate professionals is taxed and then paid to their country of origin. For example, the income tax that a Nigerian doctor would otherwise pay to the U.S. government could instead be sent to the Nigerian government. This could allow Nigeria to train two or three doctors for every doctor that went to the United States, thereby allowing Nigeria to benefit as well.

    In short, we can have free trade in the highly paid professions. The potential benefits for the economy would be enormous. And unlike much of the gains from the current pattern of trade, these benefits would be broadly shared. We just have to overcome the protectionist inclinations of our politicians and trade negotiators.

    I’m optimistic that sensible responses to Dobbs and greater awareness of the need to break the AMA’s stranglehold on medical care will enhance the status of midwives, nurses, and other medical professionals and make things better here (and around the world). Freer, sensible, trade in services will help too.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Until this year, the deer didn’t care for the Mexican Sunflowers but they’ve decided those are tasty, too. Only one

    The one plant that I always could count on in my gardens (besides phlox) was tiger lilies–they are basically weeds, and self-propagate like crazy.  Gorgeous orange flowers.

    No more.  The scarlet lily beetle has arrived in my neighborhood, and destroyed every last one.  No even a single bloom!! And no good way of getting rid of them, yet.  Arrrgh!
