Remembering Michael Recycle

Ask The Garden Geek with Michael Crose ·

2025/04/22

Back in the late 1970s, Reynolds Aluminum introduced Michael Recycle, a caped crusader teaching kids about the importance of recycling aluminum. He starred in comic books and public campaigns, even making appearances during the famous Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. Reynolds pledged donations for every pound of aluminum recycled, blending environmental action with community support. Though often confused with the modern children’s book hero, this original Michael Recycle was a true eco-icon of

The Pure Power of Reinventing Yourself

Ask The Garden Geek with Michael Crose ·

2025/04/19

Life isn’t a fixed story — it’s a series of drafts, and reinvention is your right. The most powerful transformations often start in discomfort, forcing us to confront old labels and outdated versions of ourselves. Reinventing yourself isn’t about escape; it’s about expansion. It’s a bold reminder that who you were doesn’t limit who you can become. Every pivot is a radical act of self-love, a way to reignite energy, curiosity, and purpose. You have the power to rewrite your narrative, chase new

Science isn’t a belief system

Ask The Garden Geek with Michael Crose ·

2025/04/17

Science isn’t a belief system — it’s a method for understanding the world through evidence, testing, and discovery. Yet, in today’s world, some people reject well-established science in favor of misinformation or personal opinions. This resistance often comes from fear, mistrust, or misunderstanding. But facts don’t change based on belief. Gravity works whether you “believe” in it or not. Science has brought us vaccines, clean water, smartphones, and space travel.

Gratitude Begins at Home (sometimes)

2025/04/16

When we pause to count our blessings, family often tops the list. They are our foundation, offering unconditional love, support, and memories that shape who we become. It’s in the simple, everyday moments — shared meals, stories, and laughter — where gratitude quietly grows. Even through challenges, families teach us patience, forgiveness, and resilience. No one else knows our history, or cheers us on quite the same way. Let’s take time today to appreciate those bonds, whether by a call, a hug, or a

Every day, healthcare workers quietly change lives — offering not just medical care, but compassion, strength, and hope. From doctors and nurses to lab techs and support staff, these dedicated individuals sacrifice holidays, family time, and personal comfort to care for others. Their hands heal, their words comfort, and their courage inspires. In moments of crisis and calm, they remain the heartbeat of our communities.

Spring, and stuff

Ask The Garden Geek with Michael Crose ·

2025/04/04

Spring is the perfect time to jumpstart your garden! Begin by prepping your soil with compost and checking for proper drainage. Know your last frost date so you can time planting just right. Choose climate-appropriate plants and consider starting seeds indoors for a head start. Stay ahead of weeds and mulch early to retain moisture and suppress growth. Water wisely, attract pollinators with early blooms, and plan for a continuous harvest using succession planting. A little prep now means a

The Fall of Physical Media

2025/04/02

In 1958, my sister took me to a Jerry Lee Lewis concert. The next day, we visited a record shop, where she bought Great Balls of Fire for $0.67—my first encounter with physical media. Over time, I collected albums, read liner notes, and embraced VHS, CDs, and tapes. Now, we stream everything, but we don’t own it. Music is compressed, manipulated, and auto-tuned. I sold my vinyl but kept my CDs—and I cherish them. Frank Sinatra’s Strangers in the Night was auto-tuned. What the hell? I’ll stick to my
