Agricultural science at its creepiest
Working in agriculture can be sort of strange sometimes. Consider the following symposium announcement which hit my inbox a few minutes ago: Attached is an announcement for a symposium entitled ‘National Carcass Disposal Symposium-2006, Connecting Research, Regulations, and Response’ being … Continue reading
We owe a lot to truck farmers
Misty and I are watching an MST3K DVD from Netflix. This disc includes a short, “Truck Farming”, produced by Encyclopedia Brittanica. Did you know that truck farmers provide Americans with healthful foods year-round? And that truck farmers make use of … Continue reading

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of Eisenhower’s signing of the Federal-Aid Highway Act, which established the Interstate Highway System. To celebrate, Conference Room 4 (“The Engineer’s Place for Discussion and News”) is running a series of five articles. In case … Continue reading

I’m glad to read, as hurricane season opens, that Governor Blanco has been focusing on important matters of state. For example, just think what would happen if she weren’t working hard to protect the children of Louisiana from the evils … Continue reading
Now THAT’S an audio book worth owning!
We were watching an episode of “My Name is Earl” last night that we’d missed during the regular season. At one point, Earl goes into a bookstore seeking a self-help book. When he comes out he tells his brother that … Continue reading
iPod Top Ten
It’s no secret that I love my iPod. You’ll get it when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. The NRA’s got nothing on us Apple types, I tell you what. So, here are the ten most frequently played … Continue reading
