Green thumb

The Durango Telegraph ran an article last month on Siberian elms. I just want to add that the seed pods are edible when they are green and fresh. They are super delicious and quite nutritious and have a sweet flavor. So the elms ain’t all bad!

The anti-feminist

I have seen Trump rallies, and I see women young and old cheer him. Don’t they know he was found liable for sexual abuse? He also paid a porn star $130,000 to cover up a sexual encounter they supposedly had. And, he had a relationship with a Playboy model while his third wife took care of his son, Barron.

What is going on with people in the U.S.? If you had a loved one assaulted by Trump, would you still vote for him? Wake up. What has he done for you? Trump was impeached while president two times. It’s time to get a new GOP candidate. The only thing Trump cares about is himself.
