On sunflowers

Sunflowers are used to assist in clean up after a nuclear disaster. They are hyperaccumulators, capable of absorbing toxic heavy metals from the ground and have been planted at both Chernobyl and Fukushima in the attempt to aid in soil restoration.

August marks the beginning of the harvest time.

Harvest, preserve and be happy about the fruits of your hard work in the garden!

The solution is not political.

This is a map from 1592. As you can see there is a place people would call Hyperborea, where the geographic North pole is.

@EuropeanTribalism

Smart people had the idea to write down the names of plants next to their location with chalk.

I find this is a very good idea, because it teaches children how plants are named and it brightens the day if you see it in the city.

Feel free to copy that!

On what to save

As times get interesting, we should consider what we should keep in the worst case:

A good rule of thumb when it comes to saving something is will you be able to use it 10 years after a possible disaster.

That's not to say all electronics should be forgotten or you shouldn't try to save anything. Batteries, small devices may be valuable in the intermediate aftermath.

Hand driven or solar radios are a good choice, microwaves are not.

On the kelpie

A kelpie, or water kelpie (Scottish Gaelic: Each-Uisge), is a shape-shifting spirit inhabiting lochs in Scottish folklore. The kelpie is the most common water spirit in Scottish folklore. It is usually described as a black horse-like creature, able to adopt human form. Some accounts state that the kelpie retains its hooves when appearing as a human

Almost every sizeable body of water in Scotland has an associated kelpie story, but the most extensively reported is that of Loch Ness.
The origins of narratives about the creature are unclear but the practical purpose of keeping children away from dangerous stretches of water and warning young women to be wary of handsome strangers has been noted in secondary literature.

I must add here that the kelpie combines the symbols of a monster and water, which could mean that it is derived from the ancient #IndoEuropean myth of the Dragon, which will soon be explained.
