Recently amid heat waves, ERCOT, the power grid operator in Texas, asked residents to reduce power usage. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas set a new unofficial peak record of demand, according to a spokesperson. Total power demand reached 78.3 gigawatts. Though warnings of rolling blackouts circulated, Texas has avoided them for now. Last winter, the state suffered days of power outages with freezing temperatures.

Chickens have been the best farm investment. They are easy keepers, lay eggs you can eat, and babysit your kids. Make 2026 the year you get your kids chickens. You will not regret it.
My grandfather, John Morrow, used to say, “Going to church on Easter and drinking on New Year’s is for amateurs.” I think the last time I went out on New Year’s Eve was a decade ago. So raise that glass of raw milk and enjoy some rest! I’ll be asleep before it’s even 2026 in China. I wish you all peace and joy in the year to come. G’NIGHT!! ✌🏼
We have been playing electric fence whack-a-mole with the cows, especially “mommy cow”, who appears to be the ring leader of the fence jumping mafia. She either has a very high pain tolerance or the hot wire we just installed isn’t working. I watched as she ducked under the wire and pushed down the metal fencing so she could help herself to our backyard grass - and a recycling container filled with old hay.
