This story about the trash problem in New York City is very sobering. I wonder where it all …

I am surprised polls are as accurate as they are. When you stop to ask who actually answers pollsters, does anyone pick up their phone anymore to callers they don't know? How can you guage the pulse of a nation from 2,000 people?
I am no authority …
On my phone it really looks like you have a great hairdo. It made me look three times hard.
What’s a scotch boiler? Where would you make your ferry go?
Corn on the cob would not be unusual in our family. It has been a family tradition for generations along with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, hot rolls, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and warm spiced cider.

Yes, those leeches seem very icky to me as well. I think that death by bloodletting if I understand it correctly is not due to leeches, since they don't "drink" that much. Instead, I think that patients had their veins sliced open and the arm put …

So, how …
Thanks for the link. I had forgotten about that Cake post. I agree that fungus can also be useful. It seems it is difficult to tell what bacteria and what fungi are bad or good. So maybe I will just clean less often and not try to kill everything …
The Washington Post tan a story saying Kentucky’s governor defeated himself because he’s a jerk but it does not reflect their view of national politics. …
That one looks like the bike for me. I have been casually shopping for an ebike which can carry groceries but does not cost too much. Do you think 20 mph is fast enough for roads with a 35 mph speed limit and a bike lane, or would it be better to …

Thank you for the reference to the Wall Street Journal article. Some of the quotes were very revealing.
