one of the theories about why we have not yet gotten any sign of intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy is that other planets have gotten as far as we have technologically and then destroyed their civilizations via nukes or climate change or whatever, that it's like, almost impossible for things not to go this way, so no civilization ever advances farther to get to like serious space exploration and stuff

Suddenly, the pie joy has dimmed.

10:54 am
rururocks
the peaches here have only been good.. i've had one good batch... the plums have been really good this year
10:57 am

It is a good combination. It would be good without the nuts as well. Something about crust, fresh peaches, brown sugar and cinnamon is really good.

I got a peach tree last summer. It's in a container on my deck. Only one made it to almost ripe and a squirrel got it before we could pick it. This spring there were like 50 baby peaches and they caught a fungus so I had to take them all off. The squirrels were already getting them though. Hopefully next year.
