Oriental Bittersweet vines were growing around our central air conditioning condenser, creating the possibility that they could choke off our AC in the Summer.

I let this get too far, so it was time to bushwhack through the mess.

To those in the southern USA, this vine is as invasive as Kudzu.

@KO6YQ I see they installed the new HOP machines too, that mandate tracking your movement patterns. #bittersweet

Excited that there is a new #ShanaHalligan album out, though not sure how I feel about her releasing it as #BitterSweet even though Kiran Shahani is no longer involved.

I know she is having trouble breaking out as a solo act, since she even tried competing on The Voice, despite having already released some amazing albums.

Finished mending a bag today.
It's an original late 90s messenger bag which has seen 6 continents, the Arctic and the Subantarctic... And countless countries with me.
It took 8 washes to get it clean enough for the washing machine, washing out decades of accumulated dust from around the world, and memories from another life.
Then a few hours of mending torn places. Ready for the next 25 years.

Grapefruit is a powerful antioxidant source thanks to its plant compounds like lycopene and naringenin. Lycopene is an antioxidant which may reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Naringenin is a flavanone that gives grapefruit its bitter taste and may lower cholesterol andBlood pressure.

I found this heartwarming story while reading more about its illustrator Joseph Bennett on the web. He‘s one of the creators of HBO’s Scavengers Reign and Adult Swim’s Common Side Effects and I really dig his drawing style.
Strong recommendation!

This stuff is so hard to eradicate. Every little root can grow a new vine.

And see what it does when left alone!
