HR 875 - Anyone?

I have posted about this Bill before.

Here and here and here.

It was introduced in February and currently has 42 sponsors and co-sponsors.

It seems to just be sitting there, does anyone have any news on it, because when I google it all I get is wacko bloggers (like me) screaming that this bill might impose so many restrictions on small farmers and small food producers that it might, effectively, outlaw what we do...

Anyone have any news?

Red Box Etiquette

I might be the last person to discover Red Box, but I love the way it works. Go to any of the MANY locations, walk up pick out a movie, swipe your card for the $1 nightly fee, your email will pop up (if you entered it previously for that card) just confirm you want the receipt sent there, out pops your movie and off you go.

The next day return it at any red box you happen to see... So easy and so cheap...

BUT, there should be a code of Red Box etiquette. Ideally, have some idea of what movie you want. You can see what is available online and can even reserve it! If you don't know do not stand there for 10 minutes when someone is waiting behind you (especially when said person is already short in patience because they had to fight through traffic due to a big concert at Blossom.) If you don't know and someone has been waiting a minute or two, step back, let them go and look at the movies on the board. Don't stand there for 9 minutes (that we timed) and read description after description! We can probably guarantee that if you are a 17 year oldish girl you probably won't like a movie about resistance in the forests of Germany during WWII...

Here you go Ash.

My neice asked me to post a photo of Seth. He is the best cat, we got tempoary custody of him when they moved to Germany... And before you ask... he is not the kitten's daddy... he never goes out and.... well he will never be anyones daddy...

Look what we found in window well of our house!

Mama Cat is a stray who has been hanging around for over a year, sleeping up in trees! She won't let us get anywhere near her, but her babies are right where I can see them from my dining room window.

Here is the plan. I need six homes for six little fuzzy babies.

I will take them all at once, and when I do will be the thing. I have to get them after they need moms milk and before they start wandering (into a coytee or racoon.) There eyes opened Sunday so they are 2 weeks now. I figure I will take them in 2 more weeks.

If you want a kitten let me know. Farmer Hubby said it is hard to find homes for kittens.. I told him my blog readers are great and they will help!

So...... Kitten anyone?

TSC trip..

After a look around at the avilable and expensive "drip tape injectors" Farmer Hubby decided to build his own... $400 each (we need two) is a lot of money for something that basically just spools out hose and drags it a couple inches under loose and tilled dirt.

I am not that handy, I probably would have just spent the money. A project which involves buying steel, cutting it, welding it, and (not least or last) designing something that I have only seen pictures of, is braver then me...
