Change and impetus

I'm dropping the Zombie Lawnchair reference in my promotion, not liking the drift of popular meaning. Instead I've retitled the Blog "eat some furniture" which is from a line spoken by Dean Martin to Johnny Carson in 1973. This reminds me of a raggedy sofa I used to own many years ago. It was over-all scruffy black, with red accents and was made by Duncan Hines, which I tend to associate with chocolate cake. I don't really know if Dean was referring to being so hungry as to eat some furniture or being so bombed as to fall right in-to a couch or chair. Irregardless, I have to get some of my tunes together onto a CD to satisfy a request my sister made many months ago. I doubt I'll get much inspiration from writing about it here except to possably scold myself for not doing it if I come back here and it hasn't been sent off yet...

    I'm informed by my lovely wife that Dean's remark is reference to Euell Gibbons series of books about "the natural health foods that grow wild all about us"
    A 1974 television commercial for Post Grape-Nuts cereal featured Gibbons asking viewers "Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible."

The Truth About Organic Farming - by Christie Wilcox

The Truth About Organic Farming Here’s the thing: there are a lot of myths out there about organic foods, and a lot of propaganda supporting methods that are rarely understood. It’s like your mother used to say: just because everyone is jumping off a bridge doesn’t mean you should do it, too. Now, before I get yelled at too much, let me state that I’m not trying to say that organic farming is bad – far from it. There are some definite upsides and benefits that come from many organic farming methods. For example, the efforts of organic farmers to move away from monocultures, where crops are farmed in single-species plots, are fantastic; crop rotations and mixed planting are much better for the soil and environment than conventional monocultures. Instead, I only want to point out that not everything is as it seems. So here are some of the myths of organic produce, and the realities behind them. http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/12/the-truth-about-organic-farming/
