Can we just throw salt, pepper and sage into the wind and then sit down and eat?
Rachel Carson is responsible for the deaths of more people than anyone else in history.
Bird egg shells mattered more than malaria victims.
Indeed. Malaria was almost a thing of the past like Polio.
Her book was full of BS, but the ban still goes on.
When I was given that book to read as a kid, we could still run behind the DDT mosquito fogger Jeep at the Chessie bay campgrounds on vacation.
None of us died.
Wish I could say the same for the millions of little kids who had no fogger Jeeps to follow.
Even at that tender age, I called BS.
And now we have such fun little zoonoses things as West Nile, Ehrlichiosis and Lyme to enjoy.
Lucky us.
This is going to infuriate the hippies and peta folks in Austin. They invested several millions in a solar power plant east of Austin in the Webberville area.
Headline...Solar plants remove waxy build up, keep
floors sparkling like new.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.. LOrdy help them poor birdies flying thru the a wind mills of muh mind.
Female and juvenile birds hardest hit.
Back in 1977 I was visiting Sandia Labs at Kirkland AFB in New Mexico and observe a solar power test. In the test there were a series of mirrors that where to be focused on the top of a tower to concentrate heat. As part of the test, all the mirrors were focused at a point just to the right of the tower before all being moved to the tower. During that short period a bird made the mistake of flying into the focal point – instant flash fried. Not sure I’ll ever forget that.
I visited there a couple times for business. They had some pretty cool contraptions.
Who knows, we may yet live to see Tesla fried chicken dropping on our platters yet.
