Drought in Australia has added to the food prices spike, which is feeding through to world inflation." I swear to Gawd I'd be much happier if we went back to the horse and buggy days. Michael I could not agree more. I bet those were much easier times to live. Now we have cereal aisles with ten thousand different cereals. When I was a kid there was Kellogs Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Shredded Wheat and Farina! Well, more than that, but certainly not an aisle full of postured, product placement. It's mind boggling. |

.121: FragileWarrior was forced to post this in: rec.gardens I just got back from riding Jonsey. He hates the indoor ring but it's just too wet to jump outside. Same old routine. He dances around and plops a few big dollops and then tries to throw me. He is definitely an outside boy. He has yet to emit any methane while I'm gooming him but I'm not about to give him any ideas. Michael D'argo has always saved his best... er... ERUPTIONS...:) for the farriers. He does it to be funny, I swear. It's his own personal commentary on things. And he always has a look on his face like the little boy who farts loudly in church -- totally embarrased but obviously he couldn't control it, Mom. Really, it was just an accident. Jonsey was such a quiet, sweet fellow when I first started riding him. Now he's full of the devil. Seems like right after I made the decision to buy him, the spoiled child routine started. I suppose he somehow senses he has a permanent, good family and wants the spoils he's missed. He never looks embarrased when he does something ungentlemanly like. He looks defiant ;) Somehow I've got to get him to realize he no longer has to race for his oats. Once he settles down he can sail over fences like no other horse I've ever had but if I don't warm him up first I find myself hurtling over fences at what seems like 100mph. Michael I hope you're wearing a helmet, my friend. |

6.121: I hope you're wearing a helmet, my friend. Always. And no jewelry either. Michael The first time I popped a helmet I had to return it for a new one and write a story about what had happened so they could study it. I settled for drawing a cartoon of Evil D'argo (complete with tiny, devil, horse-horns) laughing maniacally as he sucked in his gut and spun his saddle -- and me -- off on steep slope. I think I may even have had bounce lines to show my trajectory down the hillside. |

the problem is, all carbon based fuels release CO2 when burned.
what we need is to break the hydrogen oxygen bond in water and then burn the hydrogen back to water. plants do this, they use solar energy to knock the hydrogen off the water, use the energy of the electrons to form a covalent bond (organic) that stores the energy (using CO2). That is really clean energy.

If you run across anyone named "Flora" in Indiana, they're probably kin to me. My g.g. Uncle John Flora founded the town of Flora, Indiana. My family back there is Mennonite. (And Swiss-German.) Grandpa Flora grew up horse farming back there. I come by these tendencies to garden, farm and raise livestock honestly : ) Jan in Alaska -- Bedouin proverb: If you have no troubles, buy a goat. |

Cool. I'm not from Indiana and have only been here five year so I'll have to look up where that is. Grandpa Flora grew up horse farming back there. I come by these tendencies to garden, farm and raise livestock honestly : ) Not bad heritage, is it? I'm a farmer at heart but grew up in a city. I keep trying to talk farmers into letting me run their heavy equipment under the guise of "helping them" but, really, I just want to be a farmer driving a big ol' John Deere. |
