Bridging Plants to Animal, From Death to Life

Mushrooms are the crossover species between the animal and plant kingdoms.  From delicious to poisionous to psychedelic, they hold many properties that effect us from one layer to another.  Are the psychedelic properties just as important as the edible properties?

Everything's a Nail

We are out taking on a plethora of things that are out to harm us. At what point, do we not see the forest through the trees? We focus so much on one thing, that's all we know we have to fix. Are there minute things we may overlook in our attempts to fix bigger issues?

Insuring Climate Change

Are we allowed to question the Climate Change narrative? Is it even a narrative? What about the research that reinforces the jobs and companies that help mitigate the problems with Climate Change; such as insurance and building codes? If one person leaves out some information, is it justified, to protect the greater good; or does it reenforce bad habits?

Sellin' Some Data

Have you signed up for a store rewards program to soak in all those extra points?  Do we agree with everything these companies do with our information?  But what about when we sign up for a company for a cheaper product, and they use their money to produce advertisements that don't biodegrade?

Starting the Garden

The local nursery called the other day and informed me that they had gotten fruit trees in stock.  I have gone off and picked up my new plants, but now I need to form new habits to make sure these don't perish on me.

Limiting Your Drinking

The United States director of National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is considering lowing the recommended number of alcoholic drinks for Americans, and looking to Canada for guidance.  How much alcohol are we really drinking?  Is our consumption of alcohol something that needs to be monitored and concerned with at a larger level?  Or should we take more immediate care of what we are consuming on a more broad basis?
