I've been gardening for several years now and I rediscovered my obcession with chilli peppers this year after discovering the Chinese 5 Colors dual purpose pepper.

Besides these, I have a few jalapeno plants and a non-descript variety I bought at the supermarket, already potted and well developed, as I was not getting any seeds starting. The newcomer must have generated a jealousy crisis because every seed I had commited to the ground decided to pop up.

I want to store seeds for next year but I don't intend to have more than one variety at a time growing, so I need to at least store and keep seeds healthy for two years.

It is so easy to pick up the callous indifference and the nihilism in those threads, the borderline eagerness to see the demise of the human species.

These are the persons I imagine as being extremely vocal - here - but quiet and subdued on the real world. The type of person that violently accuses others of doing everything wrong while doing nothing themselves. No matter how small.

These are the individuals that almost place bets on when a given catastrophic event might occur. Next to it, the sadistic dead end speech on how it is deserved because a given generation was like this or that and there is no change to be made or achieved because of crooked politians or moguls.

Are you entertained?

I am often diagusted with the things people throw in the toilet. Tampons, condoms, menstrual pads, baby diapers, colostomy bag seals, underwear...

Walk into a public access bathroom and the filth is just waiting to be witnessed. And the bigger the venue, the higher the chance.

Aren't people aware of what they are doing? The clogs they build in the pipes? Because if they do this outside, then have to do it at home.

p.s

I feel the need to add a clarification of what the three P's are, being:

• pee
• poo
• paper (toilet)

This list is being slowly added to, in real time, and more P's are entering it. Namely:

• puke
• period
• pilosity

I'll update this as I stumble into new P's but I doubt the original mnemonic will recognize updates.

I have a coworker travelling there in July. Unwillingly, I've been more or less been kept in the loop what preparing the trip implies and I'm pretty horrified.

Up until now, these are some of demands made (and accepted):

• full disclosure and acess to social networks
• criminal record
• recent photo, perfectly groomed and in the attire to be used to travel there. No deviations will be tolerated from the supplied photo.
• complete list of possible identifying marks on the body, with pictures (tattoos, moles, melanistic spots, scars, etc)
• name and social networks of parents, siblings and other close relatives, including children.

The person is separated with two children; this is causing a lot of friction.

• has already been warned an interview of up to two hours will be held upon arrival.

The person speaks broken english at best.

• disclosure of place of employment and other connections to public organizations

They are connected to a local soccer club and a youth sports association.

To add to all of this, this isn't a standard caucasian human but someone who has looks that can be taken for someone from the middle east, slightly darker shade of skin included.

Flying from southern europe straight to Florida.

I'm concerned. I would not go, full stop. They have people waiting there for them but nonetheless. Considering the heated state of affairs, it is something I consider of not easily to overlook risk.
