Besides use as a culinary ingredient (e.g. tea, mint juleps, and Mediterranean dishes), its best feature—it’s almost no-maintenance because it grows under 18± inches high and stops. I did not know that rats dislike mint. Thanks for the trick.
The University of Iowa's Electronic Market has better predictive power (as opposed to a professional oddsmaker, whose job is to make money for the house).
With the warmer weather, the mint is exploding, so I plan to make mint jelly for the first time. I used to think it was an invasive plant, but I have changed my thinking to mint=free agricultural bounty when I saw a tiny bag for $2 at the store.
Damn good idea. As a sprout, we had a guest police speaker who said (basically): “I have a 12-gauge shotgun. I have never fired it because the sound of the bolt action alone was so effective at stopping suspects.”
Yes. The chief reasons I still fear Benedict Donald might still be "re-elected" are Russia, Russia, and, oh yeah, Russia. The Treason Party (fka GOP) has deliberately done nothing to armor our election system against Russian interference.
OTOH, as JGB pointed out, this time Donnie Two Scoops will not have the advantage of running against one of the two chief targets of the most lavishly-funded, well-organized, and insanely dedicated smear campaign since Goebbels & Co. went after (((That Certain Minority))).
I plant mint along my alley fence because the rats hate it.

The cartoon I posted expressed it FAR better than I ever could.
Plus rampant plague...
I'd like to see the odds on whether we even have an election.

Swipe right on goonder and you can data goon.
I’ll repeat a quote from a geologist co-worker: “Bad data are worse than no data.” He did say “data are.”
[Addendum: ‘data’ is the plural of ‘datum,’ so “data are” is correct.]

Did they try garnishing the lamb with mint jelly?

Such a likeness—I’m farklempt.

I need a good round of applause gif for when there is a well-done series of puns. Truly one of the fine simple things in life. You guys are the best.
