This is going to be a real issue for me at some point, especially the ones I used in landscaping areas. Those may stay, minus some select ones.

Although, over the last decade or so I have started giving them away to people (a la Dan Hardy and his art) so I guess I've thinned it out a bit. I only regret a few, there have been a few that I said I would replace but haven't been able to. At least not affordably or easily.

Yep
probably gonna have to leave some amazing huge rocks behind, Sadly.

I used to bring home a 200 lb ish rock back each week from working in the woods restoring creeks and rivers.
I like round ones that look like a mortar...they catch rain water and look cool
I have probably 30 that are huge some are 200 plus lbs and I put them into the work truck bed with excavator.
Imagine this rock with a much deeper bowl and 10 times the size in all odd shapes

Why are you posting inflammatory shit and then asking me to fact-check it. YOU fact check it.

I can read the numbers on that one, checks out.

Sorry you found the other post inflammatory, I did not.

Numbers and Statistics are being fudged by a great number of sources regarding covid, cases, efficacy, deaths, etc...
It isn't just "one side" doing it either

Coronavirus has gone too far. Freedom. NWO. Tyranny!

This one is very interesting as I've spoken to both small (as it were) landlords- people who invested in rentals as their retirement plan and got screwed. However, if memory serves, there were funds available in the various stimulus packages for landlords mortgage relief.

Do we have any reliable numbers on what main street stimulus money went to? Retail? Rent? Utilities?

46 billion was put aside as rental relief and only 3 billion has gone out

i havent read any article in particular. i was about to write 59billion off the top of my head but ended up googling it

if you google "how much rental relief" you will see the 46billion number in countless articles

here's a recent one: About 89% of Rental Assistance Funds Have Not Been Distributed, Figures Show

Paywalled. I'll check it out 9/1.

Here's one:
www.cnbc.com

States struggle to give out over $45 billion in rental assistance as evictions continue

Rental assistance may not come soon enough for tenants struggling in the coronavirus pandemic.
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com

I can understand why they would enact an eviction moratorium AND send out rent relief initially, but it's definitely time to tighten the fuck up. There's so much waste and inefficiency in the public sector it's astounding.

Florida school districts can impose mask mandates, a judge has determined, overruling Gov. Ron DeSantis’s order that said masks must be optional.

Leon County Circuit Judge John C. Cooper agreed with a group of parents who claimed in a lawsuit that DeSantis’ order is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced, the Associated Press reports.

DeSantis had argued it was up to parents, not the school districts. Ten school districts decided to defy the governor and allow them anyway, citing federal guidance and rising COVID-19 cases.

Cooper said DeSantis’ order “is without legal authority,” AP reported.

I'm guessing this means DeSantis can't assess fines to county school boards now.

Hopefully more counties institute mandates. Currently 9 counties (over 50% of Florida students) have mask mandates with no easy opt-out in place:

There's nothing my wife loves more than when I bring home more rocks :rolleyes: lol

Any idea what mineral you have in the geode?

I have shelves full of rocks/minerals in the garage that I always say I'm going to find a way to display, but the shelves just keep getting more full

it's jasper and amethyst. The amethyst crystals are good sized and dark purple.
better than "natural power crystal" grade but not "gemologist" grade...

awesome, would love to check them out

I have them all over my yard
Been collecting since I was old enough to pick up a rock
Luckily my lady is also a collector

Our Garden area probably has a few thousand decent sized agates in the paths

When we move it is gonna be a real job collecting them, probably need their own U haul truck.

i grew up next to Lake Geode in Iowa.

if you want some from there for your collection, I'll have my sister send some out. Her ex owns property that borders Lake Geode State Park.

Sounds great
Moving most likely so I shouldn't add to the rock pile at this time

Once ran across a huge Geode Field at a high elevation somewhere here in Oregon...we packed out a few...most were solid rock inside but two had da crystals!

Are you a teacher or work at a school?
I don’t believe you have any kids but seem obsessed with masking them.
