If we ever have a national problem with food for whatever calamity might happen, there is food all around us -growing wild. Chicory is a very easy to identify plant. I've harvested a bag of curly dock seeds to make flour. Haven't tried that one yet. lolbut if coffee goes very high for whatever reasons,  or the democrats cause inflation to explode, the ability to save money will be important.I've posted elsewhere about dandelion tea, dandelion blossom fritters, as for any plant, having a definite proof of the identify of plants is important, some of themhave poisonous lookalikes. Many are easy and safe to find if you know what you are doing.You can download "Picture This" and "Seek" on your phones - a cross reference and ALSO knowing what to look for will help greatly.(btw, Picture This - has a subscription, if you don't want to try opening it twice before it opens the third time)).This is just a small example.https://www.wikihow.life/Make-Chicory-Coffee]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/73685/how-to-make-chickory-coffee-and-wild-foods</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/topic/73685/how-to-make-chickory-coffee-and-wild-foods</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[calfoxwc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 05 Sep 2026 21:09:51 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Out West Thread]]></title><description><![CDATA[I never got around to posting some pics of our trip out west with friends.This is just a facebook video - but it's real.and they are not "buffalo" - they are BISON.we have video of them walking right past our car. A bison can jump about six feet in the air,run about 32-35 mph from a bolt, and can weigh about 2000 lbs.Dangerously powerful. I'll start posting some of our pictures/videos in the next few days.Male bison (bulls) can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, and females (called cows) can weigh up to 1,000 pounds. Bison calves weigh 30–70 pounds at birth.

Sometimes you have to wonder how much being on steroids almost the entire time he played in the NFL (17 seasons) also led/contributed to his condition or at least enabled him to remain strong/heavy enough play 2-3 times as many seasons as the average OL starter in the NFL.  I attached a few more cut and pastes.  When I watched the game as a fan, I never had any idea that a very dedicated "Pro" making numerous Pro Bowls for an NFL Dynasty had such a depessing story brewing behind the scenes.  Unlike other Steelers at the time - he wasn't a dirty player nor did he seem to be a loud mouth.  it just doesn't seem fitting to know the NFL version of Superman died of a heart attack at 50 years of age.  ]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/73634/mike-webster-cte</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/topic/73634/mike-webster-cte</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flugel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:59:31 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[16 year old hero lifeguard saves young boy in heavy surf]]></title><description><![CDATA[https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-lifeguard-speaks-heartstopping-ocean-rescue-love-what-doLifeguards save young boy, 5 years old, as he's pulled unconscious from oceanTwo lifeguards began CPR on child as soon as they found him unconscious    Being WSI qualified as I was back in the day, I am in awe of the courage and dedication of first responders like this.16 yrs old, watch the video - that surf is not to be taken lightly.

Ohio. Never heard of it before - Rose-breasted Grosbeak !https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rose-breasted_Grosbeak/id Pretty sure I saw one of those early this morning on my brother's bird feeder in Estes Park. Others I've seen this visit include magpies and on a walk this morning several bluebirds, lots of rabbits and the requisite Elk and deer. Haven't seen coyotes this visit yet, but sure at some point I will. Been taking the lower walks the first two days before heading into the higher ones next Monday with my grandson (who can swim for two hours at a time across a lake near our home in Texas). Stamina is not a problem for him, but I need the lower hikes to build up my lung intake for higher hikes. Going across the divide tomorrow and will likely see moose along the way.

	The one on the left has an arm length of 33"; The one on the right only only measured out at 31"; But, the one in the middle has an arm length of 36" - but he hasn't been able to bend or move his arms since King Kong chugged what was left in his oil can.  I'm told the Pittsburgh Steelers are very interested in the 1 in the middle.

			The stuff that they are doing with genes and chicken embryos is frightening.... A few years back they recoded the DNA of one chicken embryo and it started developing a tail.. Vertabrae and little arms and a tail bone..... You just know there's some nutjob out there that wants to make Jurassic Park a reality...

	A little history... The WMMS Coffee Break concerts at the old Agora were responsible for putting bands like Rush and Heart on the map.. A lot of well known bands at the time owe their careers to that gig.. I'm surprised there hasnt been a book or documentary made about it.. I thought someone John Gorman or Jules Belken wouldve done something or the late Hank LoConti Sr or Tim LaRose... Cleveland in the 70's was a driving force in the Rock scene...
