    I had my second surgery last week and my follow-up exam today. With cataracts removed and the laser astigmatism correction my vision is now like it was in my twenties. Theresa and I went shopping yesterday and I was wandering around the store like a kid with a new toy reading everything in...

    When bringing plants indoors for the winter.

    Steve, There is a cheap effective technique to control gnats that orchid growers use, but I don't know what you are growing, or the media you are using, so I am not sure it is appropriate for you. To control gnats in orchids we let the plant dry completely and then soak it up to the brim in...

    When Was Your Last Eye Exam ?

    Miss Ava told me she is going to have a hard time adjusting to seeing me without glasses. I told her I could poke the lenses out of my old glasses and wear the frames when she was here and that got a laugh out of her. ;)

    Diogenes, I think I found one.

    Diogenes made a virtue of poverty. He begged for a living and often slept in a large ceramic jar in the marketplace.[4] He became notorious for his philosophical stunts, such as carrying a lamp during the day, claiming to be looking for an honest man. My son just told me his childhood friend...
