iversity but i do find the selection process somewhat curious perhaps the white shells more perfectly match the trendy new navajo vanilla color of french enameled cookware of course i champion your right to eat any colored egg you wish i used to raise chickens and i favored the blue or green eggs actually true or not i was once told that araucana eggs the blueish ones had slightly less cholesterol and more protein and i chose to believe it ed note it is true plus i personally find them far prettier perhaps there is a bible verse that says that the blue eggs shall not lie with the brown eggs i don t know people get real crazy with theology i have a neighbor who will kill any snake on his property including harmless kings garter and garden varieties because of something the bible supposedly says about evil serpents such a strange world we live in posted by blue heron at 11 16 am no comments saturday june 13 2026 on the freedom trail 50 years ago this week i watched the grateful dead do a string of shows at the boston music hall boston was a great city to trip around in with architecture that varied from old buildings from our founding to very space age the shows were a lot of fun it was one of my favorite venues very small and intimate a volleyball game on the floor before the shows lots of frisbee action the shows were rocking i remember a great st stephen and if i remember correctly a comes a time my memory is a bit foggy but i believe that i returned from a year abroad in israel and greece before the show i had to cut my overseas adventure short an unfortunate encounter with a beguiling lass from st moritz required that i seek powerful antibiotics stat i flew to new york and got a shot in the butt and then on to boston where i stayed with my older sister liz who was living in revere at the time caught all three nights of this tour the rest is a fog but i believe that i first met my friend doug garn at these shows i think i had seen him at bethesda fountain previously but never got to know him until boston however my memory might be a bit shaky this was admittedly a long time ago i am happy to say that i caught the band at a time when they were very very good posted by blue heron at 9 57 pm no comments lapsed catholic jonathan sent me this i thought it was funny it is age restricted you have to watch it on youtube give it a shot

friend of the blast deliman aka dominick grossi is moving to holland with his lovely wife linda we wish the long time sandwich maker the greatest happiness with his move to the netherlands he was so sad they took trump s name off the kennedy center that he decided to split i hope they frisbee golf over there the old restaurant which he sold is still going strong i stopped by the other day quite busy keep supporting them they are all nice people posted by blue heron at 5 01 pm 1 comment fat man in the bathtub posted by blue heron at 10 40 am no comments food i was talking to a friend this morning who mentioned that she loved when i wrote about food but eschewed the political stuff i get that although like her i have no political affiliation and abhor both the far left and right my brand of centrism is obviously a different flavor than hers in any case it s a dead horse maybe i can talk about food although i haven t been cooking too much i have been eating a lot of eating won t even tell you what i weigh but i have set a personal record not even trying will have to deal with that later i suppose so what have i been eating jim and debbie were down to their last steak so i bought another beef subprimal and we broke it down into sixteen beautiful new york steaks price has gone up about twenty percent but it is still doable as i think that they are apt to go quite higher for a variety of reasons buy it while it is reasonably affordable or get ready to eat a lot of chicken took half home seal a mealed them and stuck them in the freezer i cooked one up the first night probably the best new york yet tasted dry aged a lot of intramuscular fat definitely the consensual favorite over the ribeye and top sirloin if it was not a prime it missed it by a hair we had three racks of ribs in the freezer and decided it was time to do an oven rib night two beef one pork both good but the beef were superior i was going to make homemade sauce but les said not to bother i made a special rub and we had a whole row of sauces to try came down to these two after the taste test both great what else we made a nice jidori chicken piccata with angel hair mushrooms and artichoke hearts i got some grief for adding too much butter to my olive oil but i think it tastes better i also added a little too much wine which we had to cook off rookie that i am the jidori chicken has so much flavor not exactly a pretty plate but delicious we often favor bucatini but it was nice to go to a lighter pasta for this meal pretty much everything else has been restaurant food with all my trips to the doctor and san diego pulled noodles with cumin beef and cabbage at shan xi magic kitchen serious comfort food noodles with a bit of tooth and a bite i always get the wider hand ripped noodle this was a treat next day wagman and i went to jasmine and had an expensive dim sum lunch barbecued pork roast pork duck flanken shumai the works then it got really expensive i screwed up the apple pay in the parking lot and got a sixty dollar ticket i called diamond parking and the guy was nice enough to lower the ticket to fourteen thank you moses picked up cumin lamb from spicy city for my wife her favorite i think that is all the food for now posted by blue heron at 9 57 am no comments friday june 12 2026 great horned owlet posted by blue heron at 3 19 pm no comments shiva s

texas takes very seriously texas is being beset by new cases of new world screwworm the critters kill texas cows new world screwworms are actually flies whose larvae burrow into the open wounds of mammals causing infection and even death they were first discovered in the united states in 1923 and texas thought they had them eradicated in the 1960 s after a massive eradication campaign this was accomplished by releasing sterile flies among other things unfortunately a facility in panama is the only one in the world that currently makes these sterilized screwworms people like michael kelsey from the oklahoma cattleman s association want at least one production facility in the u s the biggest thing we need to do right now in our minds is start producing more of the sterile male flies kelsey said and in order to do that we need a couple at least one maybe two perhaps even three depending on how far along this goes production facilities a group of bipartisan lawmakers filed a bill in congress in may that would create such a facility but it is still awaiting a hearing unfortunately like everything else in our society the issue has become politically polarized dems note the cuts that trump has made at the usda and the effects of climate change on the problem nearly a dozen democratic u s senators sent a letter to rollins this week questioning whether job losses at the usda have hurt food inspections and livestock safety programs nearly 20 of the counties in the u s that started 2025 with at least one employee from the federal animal plant and health inspection service ended the year with none the letter said repubs are blaming illegals for bringing the worm up even though human carriers are very rare u s agriculture secretary brooke rollins wants to blame joe biden because well they always want to blame joe biden texas ag commissioner sid miller wants to try a different tack than the sterile flies poison pellet bait this interview with him is sort of priceless texas standard are you satisfied with how the usda has responded so far sid miller well for the most part yes i think they re responding correctly i m a little frustrated that i can t get them to use the fly bait the bait is you don t put it in a trap you actually just put it out it comes in a pellet so you scatter the pellets out and the flies are drawn to it by an attractor and then when they eat the pellet of course it kills them they ve used it before i mean it s a usda program that was used in 1976 we had 29 000 cases of screwworms in the fall of 76 we put out the fly bait and we went from in the fall of 76 29 000 cases in the spring of 77 we had 39 cases so it s almost 100 effective they re very reluctant actually to use the fly bait they say it s environmentally unsound i keep asking why and they say well it would probably kill the good flies too my answer is good flies i mean what s a good fly that s kind of like a good fire ant i don t care i mean we re going to kill some house flies or you re afraid we re gonna kill some stable flies so i don t know what a good fly is but anyway that s the reason i don t think it s a sound reason i think it is a little ridiculous myself but anyway i m going to keep working it i love the question and had to think about it for a second what is a good fly miller asks a relevant question and may have a valid point i decided to find out if there were good flies and what the positives are to having them in our ecosystem noah had to put the fly pair on the ark for a reason right what have i found well they are excellent pollinators and the only pollinators for some types of chocolate they also pollinate apples strawberries carrots onions and bell peppers as well as black pepper and coriander they break down dead animals feces and rotting vegetation recycling vital nutrients back into the soil without them we would be sitting on a big heap of poo they are a protein source for a huge number of species including birds reptiles amphibians and other insects the earth would be in a tragic state without flies for all of their nagging irritation but it leads me to a memory of an old conversation i had with dr wolf once in new mexico the world s leading expert on mosquitos i asked the old doctor what the beneficial aspects to his favorite insect might be and he said something that i have never forgotten he said that without malaria which the mosquito carried vast untouched sections of the congo and amazon would have been overpopulated which would have led to all sorts of horrible problems on our planet the universe has it pretty together and has got us this far when so called experts try to get get in the way with their radical engineering solutions without considering tertiary reactions watch out posted by blue heron at 12 42 pm no comments love that dirty water i don t often report stories that i find on fox news but the blue heron blast is nothing if not fair and this one actually had merit a woman in trinidad texas was arrested on felony charges for reporting that her tap water was dirty on facebook jennifer combs says she never set out to become the face of a fight over free speech dirty water and small town power she says she was simply trying to help people in trinidad texas report problems with their water some residents had complained about discoloration sediment odors and health concerns so combs used her southern belle watch facebook page to collect reports and send them to the state then according to combs the situation took a turn that still sounds hard to believe she says police came to her home and arrested her on a felony warrant over a facebook post i ve never even had a speeding ticket combs said i m a mom of four kids i have one grandbaby right now i have two more grandbabies on the way story gets worse the more you read combs says the post was later removed by facebook after it was reported by a select group of people from the community and flagged though she says facebook did not tell her why but before it came down she says then trinidad police chief charles gregory had taken a screenshot of it and posted it on the trinidad police department facebook page accusing her of making a false report except she never made a police report she just posted something on facebook anyway the case went to a grand jury which saw the whole thing was bunk and decided not to indict her the water clerk in the town is fired for failing to say that combs offended her a judge later dropped the disorderly conduct issue involving her then she says the city fired that judge the city attorney was fired the same night the town is continuing to press on against her so what is the overriding lesson here you may think you have a federal right to free speech but not in texas you don t and be careful what you put on facebook or instagram because they just might be coming to get you and you could end up in the hoosegaw posted by blue heron at 12 08 pm no comments thursday june 11 2026 med report i got my first chemo treatment with the new drug yesterday it is a gel and the doctor hopes that it will find its way better to my bladder tumors than the other drugs we have used in the past although it has been around for a while it has just been approved for this new application i have waited almost a year for it i am the second person to get it in our area the first was just before me the drug company sent three people down to make sure that it was administered properly i looked at the literature for the drug and only 29 people were in the test group 12 had negative side effects nothing too life threatening hope i can skate through it is powerful like bcg i am going to have to be careful where i pee because contact with this can cause pregnant women cleaning bathroom toilets to abort i have to be careful to avoid skin contact because rashes can develop what they didn t tell me was that i need to do this every wednesday for six weeks i thought it was a one time shot this is problematic because number one it is right in the middle of my santa barbara show and two the effects of these types of immunotherapeutic agents tends to be cumulative with me and by the sixth week i am really hurting hopefully this time will be different it is administered in a small tube through the penis past the swollen prostate and right into the bladder historically i have experienced a high percentage of utis after this procedure i am on cipro hopefully will avert that this time there is also a lot of general bruising involved anyway i feel pretty good considering little harder when the lidocaine wears off but thought that i would tell you what is going on minor nausea and discomfort on top of that i had to go to see the cardiologist this week in order to keep getting my blood pressure medicine once a year i don t get to see the doctor anymore only the np an...
