Some Further Gastronome

I ache a bit this morning. The smoke breaks are catching up to me. Or just the "mad bird flu." Heard it's spread to the chickens of Turkey now, or was it from chickens to turkeys? You gotta play with the mucus, dung, or blood of birds to get it at this point but if it mutates it could spread from human to human. Hmm. Will I have to come in contact with the fluids of other people to catch or spread it? A sneeze can travel 10 feet in seconds I have learned.

I had a full vegetarian day yesterday. We're trying to get back to that, Amber and I. It's amazing how much good food there is in this world without eating meat. It's weird though. While she was pregnant and then breast-feeding her son she was vegan, but he prefers hot dogs to anything and won't eat vegetables, her daughter will eat mostly anything, but Amber was eating everything by then (well not hot dogs). Health Care teacher says breast milk is toxic these days though. It's full of environmental toxins. Amber finds that malarkey. Who knows. I could do a big gathering of info on the subject with my search engines but it doesn't matter now.

Hello Amber - sorry if I'm giving out too much info, but I think your just about the only person reading this stuff anyway. And sorry about the cloth diaper/cruel world thing in the last post too. I think what you do is actually very very cool. If only we all could come into this world without plastic being wrapped around our asses. We've all seen the poorly disposed ones left about a car park or two. Gross. Somewhere there's a landfill near your house leaking a billion of those buggers and god knows what else into the drinking/bathing aquifer of your municipality.

Anyway, took Cassin to school, The Shins, The Pixies, Weezer, Bowie, turned around and headed east with the sun real low on the horizon. Put on my sunglasses and - "Here comes the Sun" by M.Ward came on. Perfect. So cool stuff like that. Then a very long Velvet Underground song into the driveway. This post, and I'm off to class.
