Regarding:

"Ta-da! My first Mastodon post. I have high hopes for this social site (after becoming disillusioned with several others)."

Hi Brian!

Welcome to Mastodon and the server. I'm really happy that you joined!

I'm adding the #introduction and #introductions hashtags. Hashtags on Mastodon are super-important since there's no AI filling timelines. People follow hashtags. You can search for hashtags of interest and follow them as well (click on a hashtag and then the plus sign). I follow these 2 as well.

Also check the Federated timeline to find people to follow and also check out https://fedi.directory

In short order your timeline will only have posts that you are interested in. This is the best difference from other social media sites. It's why people love Mastodon.

So, welcome Brian in #Louisville.

#February 4, 1909
#OTD Julian R. Meade, American #Author & #Humorist, is born.

He mainly wrote about his home state of #Virginia & died young at 31.

From #Bouquets & Bitters (1940):

"Today, I was plowing through a horticultural #Tome that had a chapter that began:
'If you want a successful garden, it behooves you...'

The hell it does.

My #Garden is one place in the world where I am NOT behooved.

He also wrote,

"The more I hear of #Horticulture, the more l like plain #Gardening."

#Simple

#OTD S.J. Perelman, American #Humorist, is born.

In his #Book '#Acres and Pains' (1943), Sidney wrote his transformation fr/ a city #Lazybones to #Country squire. He also shared the relatable frenzy caused by #SeedCatalogs:

"The children need a #Pumpkin for #Halloween & let's have plenty of #Beets. We can make our own lump sugar!

Then someone discovers the #Hybrids: the #Onion crossed w/ a #Pepper or a new vanilla-flavored #Turnip that plays the 'St. James Infirmary Blues.'"

#December 30, 1869
#OTD Birth of Stephen #Leacock, #Canadian #Writer & #Humorist, is born.

He wrote,

"All the #Books [say] #Soil is the most important part of #Gardening.

But, if a man [already has] his own #Backyard before he opens the #Book, what remedy is there?

All the books stress the need for "deep, friable #Loam - full of nitrogen."
This I have never seen.

My own land [contains] nothing but #Earth. I could see no trace of #Nitrogen.

In all humility... I don't know what loam is."

#OTD Mark Twain, American #Writer & #Humorist, is born.

Regarding #Eve (of #Adam & Eve), he once wrote,

To get the #Full #Value of #Joy, you must have someone to divide it with.
After all these years, I see that I was #Mistaken about Eve...
It is better to live #Outside the #Garden WITH HER, than #Inside it... without her.
