I am sure that it is explained. Aside from the fact that government gardeners don't interact with the public and independent gardeners can and sometimes do interact with their customers.

You didn't have to fight it at all. The French had drawn the Viet Minh into open battle in the hope of destroying them with superior fire power. When they realized they had bitten off more than they could chew they asked the US for help in the form of air support. The US refused. They weren't interested in extending France's colonial hold on Indo China, even though they had been an ally against the Japanese. The US was involved with the talks to end the civil war and was a party to the deal that arranged to divide the country, established a demilitarized zone and to hold a plebiscite on reunification. When the time came for the vote the corrupt regime in the south realized that the North was going to win, so they refused to hold it, and the US backed them. It was an odd situation. The country that likes to think of itself as the great democracy backed a corrupt regime to deny the people that democratic vote, and all the while claiming that they were fighting against an enemy of democracy. > our military, "Go win this," and let them do what they > were trained to do. Don't limit what they can do. > End it quick. That's the way I figure it. War is dirty, but if you are going to go to war you have to go in with a plan to win and a plan to get out. The idea of surgical strikes sounds good, but there is always collateral damage, and that just pisses off the people who would have been neutral, and they tend to support their home team. > And you can even learn a lesson from the Nazi's and > their early Blitzkriegs.

The more important lesson was the one imposed on Germany by the Allies and their insistence on unconditional surrender. > That's how our Special Forces are trained. Not at all. The Special Forces are sent in to attack specific targets, usually involving specialized equipment and tactics. They work as advisors to assist local allies fight their common enemy. In the early stages of the Afghanistan fiasco Army Rangers were sent in with bags full of money and bargained with local war lords to buy their support. They offered them money, and if they couldn't get a deal they would resort to Plan B and bomb the bastards. |

I suggest you read here: https://coronavirus.wa.gov/spread-facts/what-does-it-mean-stay-home and here: https://coronavirus.wa.gov/you-and-your-family#grocery How can I stay safe when going grocery shopping? You can take several steps you can take before, during and after you go grocery shopping to keep yourself and others safe. Before you go Only make needed trips. Don't go to the store if you're sick, and be extra cautious if you or a loved one is more likely to get sick from COVID-19. Wash your hands. Consider ordering groceries online for pick up or delivery. Check for special hours. Many stories offer special shopping hours for people over 60, pregnant people, and those with medical conditions. At the store Wear a cloth face covering that covers your nose and mouth. Use hand sanitizer or an antiseptic wipe to clean the handles of a grocery cart or basket. Keep your distance of at least six feet between you and others, even in the checkout line. Cover your coughs and sneezes. Don't touch your face. Save some for your neighbors. Only buy what you need so there will be enough for everyone. When you get home Wash your hands. Practice food safety. Don't disinfect your groceries. Wash your fruit and vegetables as you normally would. As I said, check your state government COVID-19 resource pages and stop repeating some radio newsreader with an urge to show off. Janet US |

I've never seen the term "elderly" used, here they use the term "senior". The store definition of senior is 55 and over. Wednesday mornings is Seniors day, seniors get a 6% discount but I never remember and my shopping time is usually Monday mid morning... that's when I have my standing date with the meat lady, she always asks how I prepared the meat I bought, this coming Monday I can tell her how I roasted the pork loin she chose for me. She didn't believe I was a senior, I had to show her my drivers license... I don't think she's a senior, I'd guess her age to be 50... women don't believe I'm 77, will be 78 in three more weeks. |

Probably since they still can't > get a driver's license yet. I have known a few people who had goats. They were fun, but they were very mischievous. The place behind us has a U pick berry operation and small petting zoo. The guy built a nice high pen for them and built an elevated walkway for them. When I was taking riding lessons there was a pair of goats at the stable. I used to take my dog once in a while. He would go around and greet all the horses, touching noses with them. He had a special attraction to the goats. |

I'm the epitomy of a homebody, I've no need to go where people congregate, I'm comfortable staying at home. I've no need for company, I actually don't enjoy a meal eating at a table of people I hardly know. I've been practising social distancing all my life, since long before the term was invented. I don't practise any religion, if I ever have the need my favorite place to worship is sitting on the throne, praying everything comes out okay. My only inconvience is having to grocery shop in a hurry, I would normally explore all the aisles and chat with the ladies. Now I grab what I need and depart... it feels freaky with everyone fitted out like the Lone Ranger. I rush through my shopping as the mask fogs my glasses... mask comes off soon as I'm in my car. I try to choose my once a week to shop when the store in fairly empty, that small store is never crowded anyway... between 10-11 in the AM it's practically only me... I leave my home made cloth mask in my car. Rather than launder it every time I filled a small eyeglass cleaner bottle with rubbing alchohol, it's more an atomizer than a spray, 5-6 pumps and that cloth mask is saturated. |

Since you just planted them yesterday, now is the time to dig them up and replant. What you have there won't produce much. You have 6 plants. I suggest 3 on each side of your porch steps. Or at least use all of one side. |

You spent a lot of money on cages that are going to tip over as the tomatoes grow. The cages are narrower at the bottom. You better run a stake in the ground to attach to each cage.

If the plants grow well they tend to spread out evenly, or you can move the stems and hook then on the other side to balance them. |

My > plants grow 5 feet then drape over the sides of the cage and back > down. True. Last time I grew tomatoes they grew that high. I didn't use cages but tall stakes and tied off stems with cloth strips. Only 6 plants in a small area but I ended up getting more than we could eat for a month or two. Roughly about 14 per day. I really miss a garden. Growing in pots just isn't the same at all. |
