Borage ready to bloom!
As I post this weeks challenges update, I must report that my Union is getting ready to strike Boeing. Whether or not I agree that the contract offer is fair, the Union is suggesting Strike.
This is were what I have learned so far in the Independence Days challenge will come in handy!

Striking Boeing - that possibility will keep you awake at night, eh? I am hoping for the best for you, Rob!
Man, that sucks. Hopefully everything will work out.... I was just telling the girls last night we should all start paying attention to what weeds are edible in our yard as that may be all they get to eat one day!
snow- I dont think it will keep me awake as I have gone through it before- 4 times and made it through everytime.
IB- you know borage is not a weed here, I had to buy boarage seeds!
Hey Rob, Sorry about the strike. That is scary business. Good luck with all that.
The challenge is pretty interesting!
