Apparently Lou Dobbs quit CNN yesterday. Years ago he implied that leprosy was on the rise because of illegal immigrants from Latin America. I've always wanted to visit Molokai and possibly tour Kalaupapa, where over 8,000 people with leprosy have been exiled since 1865. Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, has been affecting humans for 4,000 years and can be treated with expensive antibiotics. About 20 former leprosy patients still live in Kalaupapa, and for $175 you can take a mule ride tour of the colony.
There is a beautiful Japanese Maple in my backyard. It is favored by squirrels, supposedly means "baby's hands" and " becomes crimson leaves", and has been cultured intensively for over 300 years.
I am dog sitting this week for a sweet little blind dog who pooped on the doormat. For about $90 you can finally deal with dog poop in an eco-friendly manner. The Doggie Dooley Deluxe Kit includes a galvanized steel tank with lid, an odor reducing solution, supply of digester, and a scoop. Or you could just dig a hole, cover with a lid, and occasionally dump an enzyme-active biological compound which is easily found with other septic tank solutions.

Poop bin? One can't just dig a hole? I see a theme with poop in your blog...two posts related to poo... am I rubbing off on you? I would like to know more about fiber in one's diet.
ReplyDeleteI decided to try and include one thing each day on eco-friendly related subjects. If you see a theme it could be your own interest in poop topics. Thanks for the suggestion, I may look into fiber soon.
