If you are growing bell peppers, here’s something to remember. If you pick them while they are still dark green, then you will get pepper after pepper after pepper. If you let them turn yellow or red or whatever their ripe color is then the plant will stop producing.
That’s why it’s pretty common to see yellow and red bell peppers priced just a little bit more than the dark green ones

Copper phone lines (POTS) is near death

“There are no phone switches less than twenty years old, and most of them are older than that. Spare parts are no longer manufactured; they are cannibalized from decommissioned equipment. The technicians who truly knew how to service phone switches retired years ago. …. The copper wires POTS lines run on are decades old and no one is interested in spending the money to maintain them.”

This is the antenna tower for the radio station WKXJ in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
They have large satellite antennas around back, but those are down in a dip.
I have no idea what I’m looking at here. It was just an eighth of a mile from a destination of mine up there, so I decided to swing by and take a look.

I’ve got a couple of odd jobs here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Which I won’t make any money in the end because you know I spend it while I’m up here. But I enjoy the day.
I scored these 2 from McKays used bookstore

I’m looking forward to digging into these.
