Crunchy moms are stalking the wild asparagus. Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible.
Eat a pine tree... yucchh. I suppose there’s a difference between edible and tasty, but except the seeds pine is bitter. Actually most conifers are bitter, that keeps the shorties from being devoured before they become teens.

PA has been a magnet from the start, any religion was welcome, that was one of Willie Penn’s big drawing cards, as it was not true of most of the colonies. I read a couple years back the FBI claimed PA had the most right wing revolutionary groups too.
Insurance companies are bad, and health insurance the worst. These days you need insurance to go to the vet too. But you can beat the insurance companies, just don’t accept any medical treatment for your family. You may lose some tax deductions however.
