Riddle Sideways: a 6 acre family farm with a flower, fruit and veg farm stand
Agatha Macbeth: Like eating cardboard
Riddle Sideways: popcorn requires a movie to watch
Riddle Sideways: cardboard with melted butter and salt
Adams Rubble picturing a field with lots of popcorm machines
Agatha Macbeth: Like I said an acquired taste
Riddle Sideways: there is a reality where people grow corn that is popcorn

Adams Rubble: and hope the weather does not get too hot?

Riddle Sideways: this family here gets up and going before dawn to get stuff done before hot
Agatha Macbeth: Good plan
Riddle Sideways: then waits for evening to cool down
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like Lawrence in the desert
Riddle Sideways: in this little caravan
Riddle Sideways: no camels
Agatha Macbeth: I'd guess camels are a rare sight round there
Agatha Macbeth: They do live in Australia tho, so who knows
Riddle Sideways: probably had some in the American deserts
Riddle Sideways: only ever heard about the 20 mule teams

Riddle Sideways: sorry beel, sound was off
Agatha Macbeth: Was early too
   --BELL--
Adams Rubble: yes, camels were tried in US but never became a staple
Agatha Macbeth: They probably spit at people

Riddle Sideways: recalling there was a TV show 'Death Valley' that was always brought to you by 20-mule team Borax
Adams Rubble: yup
Riddle Sideways: had to search for what Borax might be used for
Adams Rubble: thems was the good ole days
Agatha Macbeth: A load of borax
Riddle Sideways: Yeeeep
Riddle Sideways: Borax has probably been replaced by modern chemistry
Agatha Macbeth: More than likely
Riddle Sideways: like the old Westerns cowboy TV shows been replaced
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe Zuckerberg makes it
Adams Rubble: borax is still around :)
Agatha Macbeth: Always sounded like something you mine out of the ground
Riddle Sideways: google says it is on sale at Amazon
Agatha Macbeth: What's that stuff aluminium is made from?
Riddle Sideways: yup partner, mined it up and putz it on a wagon to market
Riddle Sideways: Alum
Adams Rubble: everything is on sale at Amazon
Agatha Macbeth: Isn't everything?
Agatha Macbeth: I bought a toilet seat off there
Riddle Sideways: thar ya go

Agatha Macbeth: There's gold in them thar hills
Adams Rubble: good item for a 40 team wagob train
Agatha Macbeth: Paint your wagob
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Agatha Macbeth: I was born under a wandrin' star
Riddle Sideways: recall watching the movie "Paint your wagob" to hear Lee Marvin sing
Agatha Macbeth: Wasn't Clint in it too?
Riddle Sideways: oh! he was
Riddle Sideways: what a singing duo
Agatha Macbeth: Must have made his day
Riddle Sideways: what was the name of the wagons that came to remote town carrying all sorts of stuff

Riddle Sideways: and we were glad for it

Agatha Macbeth: No Jeremiah this week
Riddle Sideways: only once in every 5 years
Agatha Macbeth: Seems so

Riddle Sideways: this tech is fab. Out here in the fields. Phone as hot spot to laptop to chat with buds in a virtual world. laptop plugged into a socket from an inverter converting the lithium batteries from yesterday's solar cells on the roof
Riddle Sideways: drinking "Darn good coffee"
Adams Rubble: :)
Agatha Macbeth: On the road

Adams Rubble: and pop corn all round and not a drop to eat
Riddle Sideways: will buy a few cobs and show the young ones where it comes from
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: well, there is that weird idea of putting a cob of popcorn into a microwave ㋡
Riddle Sideways: usually "da good olde days" don't do so well with "these modern times"
Riddle Sideways: but this morning they are both doing well
Agatha Macbeth: Good to hear

Riddle Sideways: sorry to be taking over the chat. How's your Borax supply doing?
Riddle Sideways: says that Borax is a Detergent Booster, so it is the 'New and Improved' thing added to your soap
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how it boosts it?
Agatha Macbeth: Something molecular no doubt
Riddle Sideways: might degrade the cloth fibers so they don't hold dirt so well
Agatha Macbeth: Clever
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: use to be explained as' molecular' before we knew of nano particles

Riddle Sideways: /btw who claimed the session?
