It's heeere (lock up your tomatoes)

Sun, 08/02/2009 - 7:59am — gob

I don't see it in my garden (yet) but the local organic farm that delivers to my neighborhood has late blight. Grrrr. I won't be able to report on my preventive efforts since I got too sick to spray with Serenade, and now that I'm well (a) it's raining again (!) and (b) I'm leaving this morning for a week in Brigadoon.

Good luck to all you tomato fanatics out there! I'm hoping against hope that there will be yummy fruit when I return to reality.

I've forgotten where you live (if I knew). What area is now at risk?

Thnx.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.
18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(
