STRAWBERRY MOON 2009 UPDATE
The seeds are sunk.
The prep is done.
This hemisphere
is under sun.
WHAT'S NEWS Just a few days late this time. Amazing with all that's been accomplished in the outside world around here. Lots a prep, as usual, is given to the growing season before it gets here. And here it is, at last.
The usual new blog by me is under the Log tab. This moon I'm providing my first ever, and probably only, Green Tip, because sooner or later we all have to do it. And while Al has yet to post the World of Sound blog under the Music tab, he usually gets around to it when he finds the time, so might want to check that out, too.
Today I leave on a cycle trip on the Guzzi up Nort to Lake Superior. It's a Heavy Duty Letterpress Tour! On the tour are Mike Coughlin at Superior Letterpress in Cornucopia, WI, the Allens at Kenspeckle Press in Duluth, MN, and Gaylord Shanilec of Midnight Paper Sales in Stockholm, WI. I wish you could join me, but since you can't I'll probably take a few photos and share them along with whatever else I learn on Facebook when I get back.
That'll have to do for now. And as always, if you're interested in befriending strangers on Facebook, or making sure you get those photos from the tour, look me up.
Next update: FULL BUCK MOON July 7

Eating is fundamental.
The way we eat is directly related to the sustainablility of our culture, and perhaps the future of the human race on our planet. Together, we have a huge impact on the environment through the agricultural methods we support with our food purchases. Please, if you haven't already, stop purchasing genenetically modified food and food produced through chemical (conventional) farming practices. Unfortunately, this means most of the food that's available to you. It means you can no longer eat Doritos or do the Dew. No more Hamburger Helper, no Frosted Flakes, no Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. But that's okay. All that shit's really bad for you anyway. Do something good for yourself and the planet all at the same time. You'll probably have to start shopping at your local co-op, but there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, you'll probably find out that the people working there appear to be generally happy, helpful, and welcoming. That's because they can believe in what they're selling. It's positive energy, and it's contagious. If you're still resisting, you might as well stop before you're the last on board. The future is organic, and if you don't believe me, read this.
