GUEST POST from Don – Food Safety Explained
FOOD SAFETY EXPLAINED Neither my wife nor I have ever experienced food-borne illnesses. Maybe that is pure luck, or maybe it isn’t. We know people who have gotten sick from bad food and they may have made some preventable mistakes. For instance, my niece got sick after eating cookie dough.

GUEST POST from Don – It Ain’t Meat

GUEST POST from Don – Gas-lighting (pt III)
GAS-LIGHTING (part III) Hopefully you are getting better at identifying when writers are attempting to gaslight. We have been needled into changing our lifestyles because of “man-made global warming.” We have been told we must buy more efficient cars. We have been told we must “upgrade” to all electric. Tax money has been given to organizations which install …
