A question: what precipitated his change from a clean-your-plate rodent to profligate-tomato-waster? And while we're at it, here are some other questions that have entered my mind recently:
- Does the wind ever blow something out of the ground roots and all?
- Why is pre-lightning air greenish?
- Are there advantages to fallow fields besides postponing degradation?
- Where was George McGovern from?
- How does male eyesight differ from female eyesight?
- What does "uff da" mean?
- Why don't classic sermons get read more often?
- What is ear candling?
- What is the difference between "regardless" and "irregardless"?
- Why are samovars so big?
- Are flowers more fragrant in dry places?
- Are all northern races blue-eyed?
- Why is there a fire in the chimney at the gas plant?
- If IQ is mental age divided by chronological age, shouldn't we get dumber as we get older?
- What difference would it make if mosquitoes were eliminated?
- If you put Japanese beetles into a jar of water and they crawl over eachother to get to the top, are there beetles at the bottom who are self-sacrificing enough to not crawl?
If you have any thoughts on these questions, let me know.

I think "irregardless" is ungrammatical. To quote the oh-so-respectable Wikipedia: "The origin of irregardless is not known for certain, but the consensus among references is that it is a blend of irrespective and regardless, both of which are commonly accepted standard English words. By blending these words, an illogical word is created."
Very impressed by your regular posting--in fact, you are inspiring me to start blogging again!
dully impressed with your blogging mom. keep it up. we mentioned your site to mike&tegani today, and will continue to recommend it to our other friends! :-)
to try and answer a question: isn't part of the idea of allowing fields to lay fallow to allow the nutrients to rebuild in the soil for the year? i thought that if left fallow 25% of the time, land use is sustainable?
