Recently amid heat waves, ERCOT, the power grid operator in Texas, asked residents to reduce power usage. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas set a new unofficial peak record of demand, according to a spokesperson. Total power demand reached 78.3 gigawatts. Though warnings of rolling blackouts circulated, Texas has avoided them for now. Last winter, the state suffered days of power outages with freezing temperatures.

Lily wins the prize for best bed head today. In truth, she didnāt 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. Itās manatee-art since we live in the āworld capitol of the manateeā. Instead of hanging it for wild birds, we decided to use it for our favorite birds. A tad unconventional but great entertainment. Donāt overlook the glass of water Lily put out for the hens so they wouldnāt 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. Thatās 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, āI didnāt think anyone else would be here!ā I said, āWell itās a gym.ā Yes it is a country gym but this isnāt a red heat lamp in someoneās 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).
Thatās 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.
Monsantoās product have cause numerous health problems in both consumers and farmers and have rendered pollinators like bees and butterflies to near-extinction (2).
