Looks like some kind of colocasia in the foreground. Surely it can't overwinter there?

@Grant

Meade moves them into the garage for the winter.

Gee, I'd love to have Meade come down to Atlanta and do a landscape consult.

What we have seen evolve in your backyard over the last few years is spectacular.

Obviously, this former Hoosier is a fan of the artist.

I don't see why The Hunt (2019) can't be enjoyed like other Hitler films. A Schlinder's List sequel might follow.

All my plants stay outdoors. So far there's been not outside-plants-inside problems with basement walls.

is this a cafe?
perhaps not.
Mollie Norris is on my mind. again. always miss the anniversary of her disappearance, for some reason she always come to mind around now.
wonder how her life went, how are things for her now, assuming she is alive. who knows? does she really still need to hide? how awful of america she had to hide.
how does Ayaan Hirsi Ali go about her business as herself and stay alive, yet "we" did not, would not champion and protect Mollie Norris?
ok, cafe done.

Because this is one of Ms. Althouse's "free fire" zones, I recently posted an inquiry about Outlook Express hoping someone more computer literate than myself (which is to say, almost anyone, especially anyone younger) might know the answer or provide some tips on dealing with it. Since then the situation, I've discovered, is worse than I imagine. I had observed that on almost all government and corporate websites I encounter, when there's an opportunity to e-mail them, there will be a "click here" section--and when I click on it, a window will pop up for Outlook Express, which apparently I can't use.

Yesterday I was shopping around for a literary agent, and whenever I saw one that looked promising, and clicked on his or her e-mail link--bang! Up pops the dreaded Outlook Ecpress again!

Who are these people? When did they get this kind of semi-monopoly on e-mail? And most importantly, is there a way around it. Thanks.

Great photo. Fun to see, fun to capture something like that.

bilwick, i am as untrained as you, and i share that same problem on a Windows laptop lenovo yoga we thought we needed last christmas. the neutral-sounding general "Mail" button is exclusively Outlook's option.

If i hit it by reflex, i just go back and use any other best option available, usually copying the site address and then heading over to my own email of choice and pasting it into an email I want to create.

i could use a Geek rent-a-Kid for a weekend (or a live-in haha) to comb through the innecessary sludge that has slipped in and established on my laptop.

like Bing! damn you, Bing, you took my home page autonomy away. i am forced to view to your requisitely beautiful images before maneuvering a separate procedure to get the Home that is Mine. its a home-page invasion rape. ptewy.

I assume it’s a cafe.

Facebook has gotten a patent for shadow banning. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect2=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PALL&RefSrch=yes&Query=PN/10356024

Which they claim they never do. Never trust Facebook.

Elephant ears love laundry water. Scentless detergent and a grey water drain.
