Real Mowing with a Reel Mower

Talking about geting back to grassroots, this Saturday, I decided to get out the nand powered reel mower we bought a couple of years ago and try it out. Cat and I were pretty satisfied with the results.


You might be able to tell that a hand mower won't produce the "putting green" lawn many Americans seem to want, but it does make the lawn look presentable.


If I can keep the lawn mowed and trimmed regularly, I should be able to continue using the reel mower. I even use a scissor style hand trimmer and a hand edger. I don't have a very big lawn, about 250 square feet in the front and 300 or so in the back, so this is doable for someone like me if I keep it up.
Me and My Reel Mowever

I can feel very self-righteous about this on several levels. Not only am I reducing my "carbon footprint" (in this case), but my mower is American made!!! (Note also that Cat uses a clothesline to let the Oklahoma sun and wind do our drying!)

Tomorrow is Earth Day

I am going to ride my bike to school which is rather easy for me right now because it is only about 6 blocks away.

Huge Increase of Diabetes in the UAE Result of Our Weapons?

Numerous scientific reports state that "GULF WAR SYNDROME" was caused by Depleted Uranium. Fifty-six per cent OF ALL GULF WAR I VETERANS are experiencing health problems compared with 5% of Korean War and 10% of Vietnam War vets!

I received this in an e-mail from Bob Nichols whom I believe works as a reporter in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bob has been long concerned along with others about our use of "depleted" Uranium as a material for conventional weapons like armor piercing shells. The problem is that such shells disintegrate on contact and spread radiation into the ecosystem. Bob sent this information about possible affects that our use of uranium based weapons have had in the region.

World Wide Diabetes Epidemic: "If it is Epidemic, it is not Genetic." - Leuren Moret

UAE [United Arab Emirates] is on the Gulf Coast. . . . They are within close range of Iraq.

Diabetes is contracted within two months of radiation poisoning, according to Dr. Earnest Sternglass. He was the person President Kennedy asked to 'talk to" the US Senate to get them to pass the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Dr Sternglasss told me in an interview that "40 years ago everybody knew it [the relationship between diabetes and fall out radiation]." He was speaking of the increase in diabetes over the historical occurrence rate of diabetes. That knowledge has been "disappeared."

It has been cynically replaced by more of a "personal responsibility" concept of disease that sees CDC actually funding research to see if underarm deodorant causes cancer, rather than funding research to see if radiation causes cancer.

Mueller, a scientist, found in 1927 that one shot of radiation was 10 to 100 Million times more likely to cause cancerous and or genetic changes to egg and sperm cells of a colony of flies. He tracked the same radiation caused diseases and mutations through 40,000 generations.

It has only been taken humans 80 generations to cover the past 2000 years.
