If anything the future can bring, it is a microwave that will reheat coffee leftover from yesterday, and after doing so, will have a sensor so that the reheated coffee stops at the front of the oven for easier removal, rather than at the back of the oven, where it is such a pain to fetch it, and which makes for such a horrible start to the day.

Mr. Ball
Congratulations to you. You have given hope to some who maybe running out of it. The future may look dim, but to those of us who find glory in our gardens there is hope for a better future as long as you see the trees leaf and the flowers bloom. The earth will also help feed you if you treat her with respect.

I’m 62yrs. old, and have the advantage of coming from a humble background. My parents grew up during the “Great Depression” and survived the rationing during WWII, my father , the jungles of Burma. I’ve been weaned on the values of being frugal,self reliant,and tenacious.This present period of “economic uncertainty” will pass and we’re not going to curl up and die! Hell, this is a piece of cake compared to my two tours in Viet Nam. So get out those seed catalogues,draw up your garden plans for this spring, finish your winter pruning and think Green! Ain’t life great!!

I agree about focusing on the good in the world whether it be gardening or anything else that lifts our spirits! What I didn’t agree with was the lumping in of (all) “psychics, preachers and gurus” into this doomsday scenario. My sister is an “intuitive reader” and she very much believes in personal responsibility and the great possibilities of our world. Be careful how you judge people or you will become the people who you wish to avoid. Peace, JaLene B Hunt

Oh Amen to all that Mr. Ball. Tomorrow will take care of itself. I’ve ordered my new organic Tomato plants and their supports and in my mind , I can taste them already. Yummy!! The future is for us “dirty thumbers”, so get out there folks on the first warm Spring day, feel the sun on your back, inhale that rich earthy aroma and GET DIGGING!!

Each day is a gift, to garden is a joy,doomsday
only remains in the minds of persons who fear to
believe and are not brave enough to believe.

Maybe we should remember what Candide said and ‘
cultivate your garden.’
