Boy It's Summer Now!

We've been having all kinds of wild weather, thunder and lightning, and giant dirt storm, big winds, but mostly hot. I wasn't going to be just the new weather boy in town but it effects everthing you do, or plan to do, and mostly all you want to do is sleep in front of the fan under the air coditioner vent and dream of October.

We get up when the sun rises now. It was kind of hot even then this morning so I watched for that pesky joggerman from right inside the front door. That's when Mom got the camera out. I haven't had the opportunity to chase that guy in a week at least with this gates of hell hot weather, today either. Oh well, tomorrow's another day Scarlet.

Ahh it's summer. I hope you're all having a nice weekend.

Later, Duncan.

Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment-a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you-based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign.

The National Animal ID program was originally designed to give the big beef
producers help in getting export markets which required disease controls. The idea is that every single livestock animal in the United States will be
identified and tagged. All livestock animal movements will be tracked, logged
and reported to the government. The benefit is to the big factory farms who
probably do need this type of regulation. They get to do single ID’s for large
groups of animals. Small farmers, pet owners and homesteaders will have to tag
and track every single animal.

There are no exceptions - even small farms that sell direct to local
consumers will be required to pay the fees and file all the paper work on all
their animals. Even horse, llama and other pet owners will be required to
participate in NAIS. Homesteaders who raise their own meat and grandma with her
one egg hen will also have to register their homes as ‘farm premises’ and obtain
a Premise ID, tag all their animals and submit all the paperwork and fees.
Absurd? Yes - There are no exceptions under the current NAIS plan. The USDA has
slipped this plan in the back door without any legislation. This is going to be
very expensive and guess who is going to pay for it in higher food prices…
You!
