Reed Coverdale of the Naturalist Capitalist Podcast is coming on to discuss this situation he tweeted about regarding Tulsi Gabbard, in which he wrote “My advice is to never sacrifice your time or money for a politician unless you’re ready to be a brainwashed sycophant.”
“I volunteered for her campaign in 2019 and 2020… I probably met her 30 times…Over two years ago, she promised to come on my podcast, but never connected. Last year, when I was on Jeremy Kauffman’s campaign, she came and campaigned for Don Bolduc, a warmongering Republican. I called her out on social media for her obvious hypocrisy. Then this year she was supposed to come speak at Porc Fest in NH, so they made me her liaison. Then when she heard I was her liaison, she first requested that it be someone other than me, then pulled out of the event altogether.” QUESTIONS?
The morning after our coldest night in Florida was filled with bashing ice out of water buckets. When we lived in Washington state, we had bucket warmers, but we have never needed them here in Florida. Moving the chicken coop with all the insulation was a challenge. Milking the goats with frozen fingers was no fun but at least I wasn’t the goat having my teats grabbed by frozen fingers. Otherwise, it was just another crazy day on the farm!
We survived our coldest night ever in Florida since moving here in May 2023. It got down to 24 but the “feels like” was 16. Florida infrastructure is not built with such cold in mind, and we don’t have appliances like water bucket heaters on our farm because we never need them. It was a great reminder why farming sounds so idyllic until it gets really cold. I am glad we don’t deal with this every day for 6 months like our friends who live near our old home in Washington state. Kudos to the farmers who brave far tougher conditions than this all winter to keep food on our tables.
You think you have drastic hormonal swings? Meet Heidi, our first goat and Peter’s #1 lady. She is a total maniac every 3 weeks when she is ready to breed. Heidi is definitely the alpha female in the herd so she makes sure everyone knows she is in charge. This time she tried to show me that she is my boss and I’m hoping my NO was loud and clear.
