Getting back to the topic at hand, when I wasn't taking care of my wife and daughter, who both endured multiple hospitalizations due to severe, non-COVID related health issues, I spent a lot of time working on natural landscaping with rocks and native plants. Nothing Tiki-themed, just trying to cut down on my lawn care, repel deer, and attract butterflies/bees. As it turned out, I wound up meeting a lot of folks in my neighborhood out walking who stopped and introduced themselves. Since I was getting a lot of questions from them regarding which plants were most effective at keeping Bambi and Thumper from devastating the expensive perennials, I put together a flyer listing everything I'd planted, ranked from most to least effective.

I also drank a lot due to stress, and eventually had to get on the wagon due to it creating a lot of health issues of my own.
