And More Rambling

Feast Day of the Beheading of John the Baptist. Probably the most gruesome Feast Day.

Another great Tom Woods podcast, btw: [Laura Ingalls Wilder, Erased by Library Association, Deserves Her Place in Literary History](https://tomwoods.com/ep-1221-laura-ingalls-wilder-erased-by-library-association-deserves-her-place-in-literary-history/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It's not as good as the interview with Rachel Brown, but it's very good. Highly interesting, whether you read the books as a kid, watched the series on NBC, are are simply someone interested in libertarian thought.

Interesting nugget from that podcast: 1.5 trillion locusts descended on the Great Plains during [the Great Locust Plague of 1875](http://www.hearthstonelegacy.com/when-the-skies-turned-to-black-the%5Flocust-plague-of-1875.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Unbelievable. I'm going to double the number of low tunnels at my production site. I hope floating row covers can withstand a million grasshoppers.

I started using floating row cover earlier this month, btw. The early results are highly encouraging. I plan on putting at least a half-dozen beds under floating row covers (or under hoops with row covers over them). I'd read about them for years but had never tried them. That is changing now.

****Random Blurb from the Notebooks: The nineteenth-century Scottish fantasy writer, George MacDonald, lived in intense poverty. He wrote fairy tales in order to eke out a living for his family. Yet he had a peaceful mind. Said C.S. Lewis about him: “His peace of mind came not from building on the future but from resting in what he called 'the Holy Present.'"**
