Moritz Embroidery Works
The Moritz Embroidery Works in Pennsylvania have been doing embroidery since 1885. They provided us with our mission patches the past 3 years.
The company was notified today of the mission patch all-weather testing done by Pumpkin Lord James. The images are being passed around the company this instant.
PLJ was asked if they were for space.
Day 291 and counting…

The STS-13L giant

Denver, CO USA
Dear Mr. Twardy:
I am Russell Dale, the attorney of Pumpkin Lord James, a Denver resident. I am writing this letter on behalf of PLJ and it is of a most urgent matter.
Attorney and PLJ
As we all want to be pumpkin minions in this time of war and wont, I must be adamant that you cease and desist with your wannna-be patented “Pumpkin Lord James” look. As the whole world undoubtedly knows, PLJ has been strutting around in the camouflage gear for a lengthy time and it is unacceptable that you do so as well. There can only be one PLJ. You are not Pumpkin Lord James so take your camo jacket and hurl it into the lake Mr. Twardy. ¿Comprende? There are plenty of opportunities for you to create your own style around you. Seize them.
PLJ takes his Scarecrow Transportation System missions seriously. STS-666, STS-13L and the upcoming STS-7734 are missions worthy of poetry, song and campfire stories. We cannot have them soiled by your lack of respect. Imitation is indeed a form of flattery, but imitate someone else, myself perhaps, or those people that you work for. Or you can individualize yourself, setting yourself apart from the pack by going shirtless or dressed all in white or whatever. You decide.
PLJ
Be afraid Mr. Twardy. Be very afraid. PLJ, in an episode of drunken rage, said boldly, “I want to take him for all we can!" I had to give him Twizzlers to calm his frazzled nerves. We do not want to resort to letting the shady law decide, but we will if we must. We do not want to bring the dastardly courts into this fray, this scrum, this camouflage skirmish! You must bow to our wishes or else. Or else! I will not be held in contempt due to such a petty, filthy issue.
Don't push PLJ to don his uniform and stalk you dangerously, walking deftly on broken twigs and ground verge, like a ninja, making no sound; where he will sneak up behind you without your knowledge and end your life. Obey our request or this stark future awaits your gloom. Just think how horrific it would be for you to gaze at PLJ's hulking, salivating, grimace lording over you as life's last breath slips from your severed head and violated corpse.
A comparison
Just do it. Just remove your jacket. Take off your jacket. Take it off. Come on now, take off your jacket. Why don't you take off the jacket? PLJ wants you to remove your jacket. I wish you would remove that jacket. Please, remove it.
I get paid an exorbitant amount of cashie monies for my attorney services. I don't skimp because I'm the L-A-W Pimp!
Please comply with our wishes or we will smatter upon you legal battles so grotesque and unnatural that you will be forced into poverty trying to fight them. Thank you for your time.
Russell Dale,
Attorney at Law

There is nothing more wonderful than a nice summertime evening in the urban garden with a bountiful harvest celebration of BBQ honey mustard chicken, fresh tomatoes, peppers, red onion, white onion, zucchini, basil and radishes. Top it all of with a Buzz Cola, cool breezes, sunset, cold water, and bully, you’ve got yourself a jubilee.

With the reception the mission patch, I have a mission. (last year's mission)
You Garden Minions who receive the patch in the snail mail are given a quest, a challenge. You need to take a picture of you with the patch. You should be loving, abusing, eating, rubbing or participating in mayhem with the patch. Or anything. Be creative! Let the patch spark your creativity in a most pure and satisfying way.
You know you want to do it. Thanks. --rad

nicotiana rustica, Mapacho
Here is the 2nd generation nicotiana rustica, the Hopi native tobacco that I planted from the seeds of last year's plants. Yes, Mapucho, Shamanic Tobacco. I'm a modern Shaman. It's for smoke and ceremony.
Native Americans have always used Sacred Tobacco for prayers and giving thanks. Prayers are carried to the Creator in the smoke of Sacred Tobacco. Modern society has corrupted the sacred purpose of Tobacco.
Always offer Tobacco to the winged one who donates their feathers to you, and you. And you.
Last year's plant.
Huffed any good Mapacho fumes lately?

Transfixed by the gardens
The subject of this week's RADcast is the magical garden.
Matt and I went driving around Denver neighborhoods this weekend to check out other urban gardens. We saw many people standing motionless, stupefied, staring into oblivion, while in their gardens. It was disturbing, unsettling and unnatural. What is causing this phenomenon? Does it have something to do with the billions of vanishing honeybees? Is the power of the garden so vast that it speaks via some osmosis means?
