Folks, do you ever get tired of the political bullshit to the point that you just want to walk away from it all?
Yeah, me too.
Have you ever asked yourself why you haven't walked away from it all already?
Yeah, me too.
But yet, here we are. Still pointing out the bullshit as we see it.
Why is that? Why do we do it?
I certainly can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself.
I'm drawing a blank, so here are a few memes. Hopefully you haven't seen all of them already.

Good morning everyone.
Wood splitting party went quite well, have three very large piles of firewood. I'm guessimating 7 cords total. about half hardwood (maple). About twenty family showed up. The guys split and moved wood and the girls harvested more tomatoes and corn.
E2 and her daughter made a fine lunch for all of us.

There's been lots of talk of a possible global famine due to the fertilizer shortage as a result of the closure of the Hormuz Strait. That might be the case, but it is also because our food system is designed for corporate profit. There's plenty of misunderstanding among the taking heads. I heard one commentator saying the soybean crop in Brazil is under threat due to the urea shortage. Soybeans are legumes. They can fix atmospheric nitrogen and don't need urea. Possibly the accompanying sulfur shortage could damage bean yields. Sulfuric acid is used to make phosphate more available. However, my point today is if we had a better agriculture system none of this would be problematic. Let's look at alternatives below the fold as well as the week's news.
