Attension USA:
you have no right to eat the food you grow.

“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;”

“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;”

“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice…”

Attention Switzerland: no lonely Guinea pigs allowed:

a service that has been in high demand in the Alpine nation ever since animal welfare rules were tightened up a few years ago. Switzerland has forbidden people from keeping lone guinea pigs because the animals are sociable and need each other's company.


GUINEA PIGS

of course, you could always eat the survivor...

print a book...yeah. It would be nice in rural areas in the Philippines...usually I can't get the books I want and can't afford them new....luckily the used book kiosk gets most of the best sellers after a year or so.

NASA: Location Of Satellite Debris Not Determined
Kris Rakowski put the dog out late Friday and looked to the skies above his Maple Grove, Minnesota, residence.

He saw lights -- a bunch of them.

"They almost looked like fireballs or fireflies, strobing," Rakowski told CNN Saturday.

or maybe it fell near Alberta Canada...

the heartwarming Story of the day:

The Life Saving Tree of Quezon City

On September 26, 2009, the storm whipped across Metro Manila, bringing rain that lasted for hours.

Floods quickly swamped low-lying areas in Metro Manila, among them Bagong Silangan.

Ondoy left more than 200 people killed. In Bagong Silangan, 68 lives were lost.
There could have been more deaths in the barangay were it not for the Bita tree.

Seven families managed to climb the tree and sought shelter in its branches as floodwaters surged around them.

The families clung on for 24 hours until they were rescued.

To mark Monday’s second anniversary of the “Ondoy’’ tragedy, a Quezon City councilor is proposing the construction of a marker beside the century-old tree.
