Josiah Neely with R Street Institute (a Texas-based nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization) is coming back on. Last time we talked about the frozen turbines. Any questions? https://slate.com/technology/2022/07/texas-power-grid-electricity-ercot-abbott-heat.html
Lily wins the prize for best bed head today. In truth, she didn’t wake up like this, she was outside playing and caught a lizard. Somehow it ended up in her hair. We call this a Florida mullet.
Our neighbor made the kids a bird feeder. It’s manatee-art since we live in the “world capitol of the manatee”. Instead of hanging it for wild birds, we decided to use it for our favorite birds. A tad unconventional but great entertainment. Don’t overlook the glass of water Lily put out for the hens so they wouldn’t have to leave the table to go drink out of a bucket, which is clearly uncivilized.
Those of us who live in the country mostly prefer to avoid people, especially naked strangers. That’s for city folk. So you can imagine my surprise today upon seeing a man who resembled the form of a shaven Santa, completely nude in the gym sauna. He was changing out of his bathing suit and seemed rather shocked to see another person. He told me, “I didn’t think anyone else would be here!” I said, “Well it’s a gym.” Yes it is a country gym but this isn’t a red heat lamp in someone’s cow pasture. Long story short: keep your Christmas packages wrapped up this holiday season.

MONSANTO COMPANIES
https://dailyhealthpost.com/monsanto-owned-brands/
Monsanto started as a herbicide and pesticide developer meant to increase agricultural revenue by eliminating factors like crop invasion by insect and weeds. However, the chemicals they sold were so strong that it often killed the plant it was trying to protect (1).
That’s when the company decided to genetically modify their seeds to make them hardy enough to survive these harsh chemical treatments. In doing so, Monsanto has single-handedly contributed to one of the worst environmental and health epidemics in human history and people are discouraged to buy any Monsanto owned brands.
Monsanto’s product have cause numerous health problems in both consumers and farmers and have rendered pollinators like bees and butterflies to near-extinction (2).
