Cut them into smaller pieces and you could have gotten 6 in there!

The barn roof doesn't leak (even though the rusty steel looks like shit).
This is why I need a tent in there:
There are eight barn swallow nests and Sarah said she counted 5 babies in one nest.
Last winter I knocked all the nests down but they just rebuilt them.
I read about barn swallows. They migrate an equal distance south of the equator than they migrate north of it.
I'm roughly 2875 miles north of the equator so these little bug eaters will probably be south of Santiago, Chile this winter.
And unless I can find the time & energy to finish the siding project on the barn, they'll be back next year.

Looks like a wedding venue for gnomes.

I don't know any gnomes, but if I did, I'd tell them to hide in my garden and chase off the rabbits and chipmunks.

She's wearing a shirt with Ruth Bader Ginsberg on it and it says "fight for what matters to you" on it
I don't know... She's older than me and she doesn't look like either one of my parents.

Gonna fuse some vertebrae or "lumbar" or whatever it's called. And embiggen a hole that nerves go through because they're being squeezed.
They have to go in through the front, meaning they have to pull all his organs out of the way or steer around them with a catheter thing.
Some kind of human-operated robot will be used.

Ok I asked my sister to explain it.
Doing a "full open" through the front was what the first neurosurgeon wanted to do.
My sister politely told him to go to hell, and then some nurse here whom my sister talked to on the phone recommended this other guy.
The guy who my sister decided is a good one is just going to make two incisions in his back.
He's going to remove the disc between the 4 & 5 vertebrae, insert some kind of skinny little cage between them, then fuse the vertebrae.
But he's gotta saw off one of the "wing" shaped things on a vertebrae.
So they're NOT going in through the front like my dad told me.

One of his legs is half an inch longer than the other one. He's always walked with a little bit of a limp.
That's what kept him out of Vietnam.
But it's also what caused this spinal stenosis.
