14 carrots


Julie has put to bed her vegetable garden which was, again, a good provider of produce, carrots being one item. I title this picture 14 carrots showing a small number of the close to 100 that came from the garden. Many of our friends and neighbors are enjoying fresh carrots this fall. Fortunately I like carrots.

What do you believe in?

It appears that higher education has a powerful positive effect on paranormal beliefs (pseudoscience, cults, and superstition). Two years ago two professors published a study in the magazine Skeptical Inquirer showing that,while less than one quarter of college freshmen surveyed expressed a general belief in such superstitions as ghosts, psychic healing, haunted houses, demonic possession, clairvoyance and witches, the figure jumped to 31% of college seniors and 34% of graduate students. I know that colleges and universities are hotbeds of liberal thought but what else are they teaching?

I'm going to try using Google's blogging system. Not sure how it works yet, I'll experiment for a while.
