Yeah, Star is back in the saddle, but I still walk a fair amount of the time just because its easier on the pony and, its best to keep my sorry ass in some kind of shape if I need a second wind sometime. Like if Bush/Cheney were to take me up on my personal tag team challenge.

Ahhh, but that is another story.

Did I mention, 9/11 was a inside job!

Just in case anyone really thought I had just gone away...NOT!

Check it out. Then check out this site for the bigger picture of what is/has (for those 50 something +) happened to this country.

You will see how/why the "shrub" has become our sitting President.

There is a reason brilliance (see JFK, MLK, RFK) was replaced by...bbbBush!

And by the way...there is lots of evidence once you begin looking...objectivly!

And for those saddened by a return of reality, I can only say...the past, properly illuminated, will lead to a brighter future for all.

If we remain deluded however, we will not only face, but embrace, a future only a madman would desire.

Count me out!

Anyway, enjoy all this site has to offer:

And there will be more to come, God willing!

Good to see you too and kudos on the conscientious recycling...and to growing your own food. But you might want to do the planet the extra favor of investing in a case of Beano.

Talk radio blames bovine flatulence for Al Gore's global warming premise, but I think it's humans eating legumes that's really to blame. Especially when said veggies are "home grown." Somebody should do something about these rampant farmer's markets.

Next summer I'm probably going to turn the backyard into a vegetable garden, not because of some irrational devotion to some Eat Local movement, but because I love home grown tomatoes and Eruca sativa, and the kids don't play on the swing set anymore. Besides, my seven-year-olds still fall for the "Pull my finger" gag because I'm quick to scold the dog.

Don't talk to me about distance eating until you've field-dressed an elk or caught and prepared every salmonidae in the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, Crystal, and Colorado watersheds.

BTW--it was nice to see you at the recycle center this afternoon.

Cheers,

Condemning the Eat Local movement for the branding of fast food products is like condemning Al Gore for “inventing” global warming. It’s not only dishonest, it’s absurd.

If some gullible city folk want to believe their twice a week Chipotle habit is good for the planet, who cares? The importance of the Eat Local movement isn’t diminished one iota by the commercialization of their pet phrases. In fact I would argue that it helps the movement overall by introducing an unaware public to the concept of locavorism.

For those of us living in rural communities, Eat Local is not just a platitude, it’s a concept that could prove essential to our economy, our health, and even our very survival. Our local farmers and ranchers make money from their products and put that money back into the local economy. Locally produced food is healthier and fresher than food trucked in from Bolivia or even Arkansas. When fuel prices shoot up and food prices follow, local food will allow us to save money. With a good supply of locally produced food, when weather conditions or other emergencies close our roads preventing delivery trucks from reaching our grocery stores, we won’t starve. It’s truly an idea whose time has come.

Right now the Eat Local movement may elicit derision and snickering from confirmed Distance Eaters, but just wait awhile and we’ll see who’s still laughing.
