You have an electric chainsaw @lobster ? What an extravagance…
Our neighbours are currently on holiday but sometimes have BBQs which causes the smell of burnt meat to drift over our garden. Then my mother sometimes says, “I fancy a grilled chicken” and she tells me about the time my father brought home a rotisserie oven when I was little. And then I remind her, we have been vegetarian for 48 years…

I used to be a gardener. It is battery operated. Reserved for natural tree fall. You will be pleased to know I am kosher, halal and vegan. In my dreams. In real life I eat what is available, a Maitreya speciality/necessity (like the olde Śākyamuni, Sakyamuni, or Shakyamuni did)...
It is all perfectly fine… I understand the tantric impulse to go chain sawing the undergrowth!
I harvested the tomatoes the hedgehog gardeners have produced. There is a patch of land that was used as a landfill that we cleared up and added some fresh soil to put some plants and started watering the area and leaving catfood and water for the hogs. Well...loads..heaps of tomato plants have emerged and managed to harvest two or three different types of tomatoes...all because those hogs ate tomatoes somewhere else and pood the seeds. Good creatures!
...and delicious. Twice as smart as dogs.

I try and get meat once every two weeks ideally. If the choice is between pigs or toms. Think the toms would be my choice. That and fish (I am more lobster than Buddhist)
Chomp!
I have never regretted studying and practising with the good people of religion. Even when I am in the presence of privileged Americans, Europeans etc.
Sometimes we live and learn. Keep up the good work.

Me dog be shedding! Dogo hair everywhere! But she is such 70+ pounds of "Hi! Let's Play". And those eye! Oh those eyes!


But, on July 4, we found her hiding under the granddaughter's bed, in the shower stall, and, finally, way back in my closet. We don't fault her as both my daughter and I had problems with the highly illegal (in this city and county) fireworks until we reached an accord with our "wild monkeys". Commercial grade stuff 360.
Everyone here survived, but we did hear some emergency vehicles in the distance a few times.
Gotta go, that squirrel is looking at me kind of strangely there.....
