Went out an took a few pictures of our gardens this morning.  A couple of the pumpkin patch and the pole beans, along with a couple of others.  So thought I would share. It has been one of the best years since we moved here to Port Loring for vegetable growing. Click pictures to enlarge.

You know for years I have said that we should be very careful on how we let other countries like China for example dictate to us, and be very weary of what they are doing to our society behind close doors. For most parts these folks are very good at what they do and if left, we will soon find we are not a country of what we think we are.  Simple as that.    Take farming for instance, most of our small farmers have gone out of business but the grocery stores are still full.  That in itself should tell you that things aren’t what they should be.  We are being over run by other countries for a reason. The reason is they get rich and we become less self efficient and now are dependent on them. Not a good thing folks.  Now in saying that take a look at this article that came out this morning.  As it says this is just the tip of the iceberg what lays beneath is much much more. My opinion only.

China’s influence over Western politicians runs deeper than controversial claims made by the head of Canada’s spy agency, Tory MP Rob Anders alleges.

In an interview with Epoch Times, an international newspaper founded by Falun Gong supporters, Anders suggested politicians and government officials from Canada and other Western countries are being wooed with extravagant gifts, beautiful young women and too-good-to-be-true business deals.

“The reach is deep, and it’s very unfortunate,” Anders told the newspaper.

“I would argue that I’ve seen things happen on a federal level as well in our own government.

“And so I think there’s a lot more than he has even mentioned,” the Calgary MP added, referring to Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Richard Fadden.

“I think that Mr. Fadden only gingerly scratched the surface. I feel for him that he was dragged before an investigative committee with Parliament to have to explain, and I think that this situation is far worse than what he let on.”

You know there is outhouses and then there are outhouses.  A really good friend of mine here in Port Loring that owns a resort took an old outhouse and you could say gave it a face lift.  He did leave the bit of a tilt to it which is a good thing, as I never ever really seen a true outhouse perfectly straight.    I gotta’ tell ya it sure looks mighty fine to me and a touch better than what I had growing up.  Click Image to enlarge.

What I been tellin’ ya for the past four years that sunshine is good for ya, not bad as the Powers That Be would like you to believe.  Listen to your body, it’s tellin’ ya it wants sunshine.it craves it and needs it to stay healthy.

Exposure to sunlight, we are often told, is dangerous and can lead to melanoma, also known as skin cancer. But a group of U.K. researchers recently published a report in the British Journal of Dermatology decrying the scare campaigns put out by government and cancer societies that warn against the supposed dangers of sun exposure. Contrary to popular belief, sun exposure can actually decrease the likelihood of developing malignant melanomas. Sam Shuster, one of the study researchers, and his colleagues are tired of hearing about the 84,000 “skin cancers” that appear each year from sun exposure, because almost all of them are harmless. Malignant melanomas are simply not caused by sun exposure, despite what the “experts” claim. In reality, malignant melanomas tend to shrink back from sun exposure, as do many other harmful cancers in the body.

But the myth that the sun causes malignant cancers continues to persist, even though it is patently false. Excess sun exposure, especially if you lack proper nutrients and fail to let your body grow accustomed to the sun, can cause harmful sunburns. But gradually and regularly exposing your skin to the sun without burning it will only help you, not hurt you.

Now I know a lot of you folks out there would like to believe that this getting older doesn’t bother you.  But for me, well I am not saying getting older bothers me just certain things get to me once in awhile./  For Example.

Thank goodness there’s a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A…A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden .
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills
back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I’m going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I’d been drinking.

I’m going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye–they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I’ve been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I’m going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when I go to watch TV,
I’ll be looking for the remote,
but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I’ll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn’t washed
the bills aren’t paid
there is a warm can of
Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don’t have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can’t find the remote,
I can’t find my glasses,
and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I’m really tired.

I know everyone has a problem every so often eating things they shouldn’t.   I now have figured out why and what these extra calories really are.

An Interesting aticle below.  Thing is it is not only happening in China, most other countries like Canada is doing the same.  Take A Look.

China’s profligate use of antibiotics in both medicine and agriculture is creating a grave threat to global health, scientists have warned.
Overuse of antibiotics encourages the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as “superbugs,” which are far more dangerous than their antibiotic-sensitive relatives.

In addition, pharmacists regularly violate the law by selling antibiotics without prescriptions to those — including doctors — who wish to self-medicate. In an experiment by the Daily Telegraph, three out of five pharmacists questioned were willing to do so.
Combined with widespread agricultural use, these practices have turned China into an ideal breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
“Over just the last five years, for example, our studies show the rate antibiotic-resistant e. coli has quadrupled from 10 percent to 40 percent.”
