The Fear Never Ends: Football Season has not Yet Begun

I start this attempt at Gonzo journalism shitting my brains out spun out from too much flower and chain-smoking juul pods. This happens to be my normal routine anyhow but I've been in exteme edge these past few days. Robert Mueller testified before Congress two days ago (7/24/19 of this despicable year of our Lord). What he said was nothing that has not been discolsed in his report on the interference of Russian propagandists and hackers, in the US election. Trump admitted he took help from those fascist bastards during his campaign and nothing is done. Mueller outlines time and time again how Trump has interfered with the investigation and yet nothing is done. Not even a word one way or another as to his opinion if whether or not there was obstruction of Justice. My mind is wired and these drugs are not helping as intended. Best to take more and wash them down with plenty of gin. But not now. Now I write and shit. Tomorrow I am going to the Monmouth County Racetrack under the guise of spending time with family I avoid every chance I can get. My main purpose however is somewhat more sinister, I wanted to go out and find the epicenter of the evil that still supports our modern day Nixon. The far right middle America that can not see behind the flags and MAGA banners that flatfoot traitors continue to sell out our country each and everyday for pennies on the dollar. I want to study these people. Observe there habits. Perhaps come to some sort of understanding as to how they could even doublethink there own hypocrisy. Hohoho tomorrow I will be a stranger in a strange land, but today I am hitting the books. Hunter S Thompson is my last remaining stronghold of the American dream. Someone who clearly saw what it was, and how it was slipping away at every grasp. But football season has not yet begun to start and while HST cannot continue to give us hope in the face of fear and loathing, I can try my part. So here I go, finishing up my shit. About to smoke my brains out even further so they come back into place. Maybe then I will be in better standing to analyze the futility of my mission, and what perils to my own sanity lie ahead.

I paruse my record selection. The Lemon Twigs or The Nude Party? Classic rock is making a revival in today's indie scene, taking huge chunks of inspiration from the Beatles, The Doors, The Zombies. Hell Bob Dylan's grandson is making fairly passable folk today following in some huge Troubadour footsteps. And besides him singer-songwriters such as Courtney Barnett and Father John Misty are continuing his tradition as well. Making elegant songs about the hopelessness of it all, and all the while making it easy enough for the Everyman to understand. I however am not, my mind continues to jitter and I apologize for the surely dozens of off beat tangents I am likely to go on. My purpose for bringing up classic rock is a pit in my stomach. Everything is a circle, and at first I misunderstood the relevance of this at first. Everything from the music, to film, to fashion, and undoubtedly politics is tinted with the dead memory of the late 60's early 70's. I embraced this at first because as a man out of time I have come more in tune with the absurdity of the juxtaposition. However I am beginning to realize that this isn't simply a rehashing, set by whatever computer controls the simulation we inhabit, these fuckers want round 2. They fought against social justice, and workers rights for far too long in an unwinnable battle. But now they've figured out the answer, identity politics and political subversion, or as historians will one day call it, propaganda. We approach this race with extreme caution. We have one evil force that must be stopped however possible, but our choices to unseat him don't look too appetizing. Joe, the symbol of democratic ineptitude. Warren and Bernie, neo socialists who oppose our second amendment right to a frightening point. Because if we don't have guns what happens when trump takes his third term??? Or his fourth??? No that fools done have the sight to comprehend the tyrany in front of them. Booker or Beto might be an acceptable candidate, progressive enough, in enough American companies pockets, continue the status quo of incompetence without doing any irreparable damage... Shit. Are these our best choices, how did we get here? How did I get here? Have I always been in this absurd shit show or have I died in some car accident while driving on acid, and this is my final dmt trip with my beyond twisted mind trying to make sense of what could've been. Maybe I'm Dead already and I'm living in continues mediocrity, and pain. Each is just as likely as it is not. But how does that help me? I'm here and I can't change that fact, I guess I'll try to do my part despite the entirely possible futility. Like Sisyphus, but with a sense of self awareness.. What still needs to be done is fight these feelings, detatch completely and absorve myself in what I can see, hear and feel even if it is Evil itself.I digress. I'm currently looking up stats for tomorrow's race, my chance to bet big and achieve the American Dream. I like a horse named noonsight, the jockie is doing extremely well for himself too. Maybe I can make some money, betting on the American dream. Hoping a combination of scrappiness and skill under the right circumstances can propell an underdog into victory. And for a dress bucks I can ride coattails. I can't wait.

Just Listed: Hortulus Farm in Wrightstown

For Sale/Rent

The couple who have painstakingly put together this Best of Philly-winning garden are ready to pass the torch to another garden lover who can care for their unique vision. Might that be you?

Perhaps you’re one of the many people who have visited Hortulus Farm in Wrightstown, toured its 100-plus acres of rare and beautiful plants and oh-so-photogenic gardens, and said to yourself, “I wish I could live in a place as magical as this.”

Guess what?

Noted garden and event designer Renny Reynolds and garden author Jack Staub have put their one-of-a-kind horticultural creation and home up for sale, right on the heels of winning 2019 Best of Philly honors as “Best Place for Rare Plants.”

(You can check out all the other winners here.)

Exterior front, main residence

The nucleus of Hortulus Farm is the Isaiah Warner house, a classic stone Pennsylvania farmhouse built in stages between 1793 and 1830. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, the house has been the seat of the Warner and Thompson families, and for most of its history, the house and two barns that were added to it in the 19th century served as a working dairy farm. Other outbuildings have been added to it over the years, and all of them now contribute to the life and workings of this garden, nursery, event space, garden store and museum.

For the past 40 years, it’s been the home of partners in business and life Reynolds and Staub.

Hortulus Farm museum and office

“Hortulus Farm began as a passion project to highlight the beauty of a variety of different plant species that thrive in Bucks County and that anyone in the area could grow at home,” says Reynolds. “My training as a landscape architect helped Jack and I turn 15 acres of land and 24 gardens 40 years ago into more than 100 acres of stunning, natural landscaping.”

Raised-bed gardens

Their unique vision has wowed visitors from all over. It also impressed The Garden Conservancy, which made Hortulus only the second Affiliate Garden in the organization’s history in 2015.

The photos you see here only barely scratch the surface of the gardens at Hortulus, but they should be enough to demonstrate that this is a truly unique creation. Reynolds and Staub have applied similar creativity and vision to the care and shaping of the residential spaces.

Barn residence

The most spectacular and original of their interior creations is the great room of the converted barn residence on the property. A wall of glass on one side fills the room with natural light and showcases such features as a staircase with railings fashioned from garden implements.

Great room, barn residence

The converted barn has two bedrooms and two and a half baths. It could serve as a spectacular guest residence.

The pair have maintained the 18th-century charm and warmth of the main house with similar skill. Yet as its TV room and kitchen demonstrate, they have also kept it up to date in order to meet the demands of modern life.

Judging from these photos, I’d say Reynolds and Staub have interior design skills equal to their landscaping and gardening skills.

The house is surrounded by its own private garden that’s as attractive as the gardens that the public can tour.

Pond and floating gazebo in public gardens

In addition to these two dwellings, the property contains a two-bedroom, one-bath ranch house that serves as a caretaker’s residence, a larger barn that serves as Hortulus’ offices and garden museum, and a third barn that houses the farm’s animals and equipment.

Fountain in public garden

“Renny and I have a true love of Bucks County, the community and the wonderful native wildlife that make it an incredibly unique place,” says Staub. “Our hope was to be an example to the public of what natural beauty people could bring to their own homes and to show visitors some of the best of what Bucks County has to offer.

Woodland path

“Being honored in Philadelphia magazine’s Best of Philly, among other recognition Hortulus Farm has received, has been an unexpected joy.”

Open-air conservatory

Put bluntly, you’re not just buying a house and garden here. You’re buying a legacy designed for the enjoyment and education of all. Reynolds and Staub have done the heavy lifting for you. All you need to do is look after it and shepherd it into a new future.

“We’re proud Hortulus Farm has become a fixture in Bucks County and look forward to seeing it continue to blossom for years to come,” says Reynolds.

The pictures you see here give you a good idea of what you will be getting with your acquisition, but there are many more on the listing — 99 in all. (I’m sure the agent appreciates Bright MLS’ listing engine, which removed predecessor TREND’s 25-photo limit.) I encourage you to go to the listing to look at all 99.

THE FINE PRINT

(figures for main house only)

BEDS: 4

BATHS: 3 full, 1 half

SQUARE FEET: 693 (We’re sure this is a typo.)

SALE PRICE: $5,650,000

OTHER STUFF: While Hortulus Farm is protected by a conservation easement through The Garden Conservancy, it does have room for change: there’s room for a second residence with a separate driveway on the property.
