BAD E COLI
so that e coli that is causing illness is europe is a super toxic e coli

wonder if we have messed with mother nature a little too much
and we are paying for it now

different bacteria can exchange genetic material that makes
them more resistant to our antibiotics and a toxic bug can give
the genetic info to another bacteria and so it goes

saw a show on 60 minutes about a scientist that has developed
an artificial bacteria from scratch-he made the dna and genes
that make the organism work
thats scary isnt it

this new artificial bacteria may be used to make all kind of stuff

already e coli is used to make insulin, medicines, gasoline, break
down gasoline, eat algae,etc

sure could think of a lot of bad things that could happen from all of
this couldnt you
maybe stephen king needs to write one of his horror books about it

its not nice to mess with mother nature
she always wins in the end

CWS
whats the cws-its the college world series
its one of the few times i watch baseball on tv
used to like to play it or watch my kids play but
usually find it boring to watch on tv
however i enjoy the cws

this year both the texas longhorns and the texas am aggies are
in the cws together
they tied for their conference title
anytime either teams plays each other or competes in anything its
a great rivalry
sometimes it gets a little too passionate
it can ruin families, romances, split up schools, ruin businesses etc

(if you live in arkansas its the feeling arkansans have against the
texas longhorns and even though they havent been established
opponents in years the feeling of animosity still exists)

what a great cws it would be at least in texas if the two had
to play again to determine the winner of the cws

well see

wedding journey, russians are coming, bb

WEDDING JOURNEY
well the journey is continuing and is almost completed
this last weekend was the bachelor party
i wasnt invited

the rule was no tattoos and no hootchie hootchie girls
as far as i can tell that did not happen

do know that whatever my older son and my younger son
and his friends did wore them out
they slept off and on for 2 days afterwards

told my future daughterinlaw in jest that the tattoo was a
longhorn and was discretely done
she did not think that was funny
women are that way sometimes
finally admitted i was just joking

so my older son survived the weekend
he was worried at what may happen to him but
he said he had a good time and it was good to be
with old friends and his brother
wish i had been invited
although thinking back 40 years at some of my experiences
it was probably good that i wasnt there

next the wedding and its pregame events
more later

RUSSIANS ARE COMING
have worried about getting a viral attack on my blog
thought it happened the other day as i had gotten a huge
number of hits on my blog from russia
it was over a months worth of hits
looked over my control center and blogs and couldnt find
anything wrong

then i picked up newspaper and read an article about the bad
e coli that attacked people in europe and russia
it was felt to be from cucumbers in europe
i had written a blog mentioning cucumbers and e coli in the past and
thanks to google, bing, yahoo etc my blog was ided in their searches

felt much better after i figured that out
not a viral attack just a bacterial one

so on the bacteria veggie story
so russia and europe blamed the spanish and their cucumbers
for the contamination
later they blamed an oganic bean sprout farm in germany for the
genetically altered bacteria enterohemorragic  e coli that was
making everyone so sick
(just its name makes me nauseated)

now they dont know where its coming from
they sure have destroyed a lot of farms reputations
(remember the e coli scare in the us with the tomatoes
a tomato industry in fla was destroyed and they werent
the source of the problem)

was told it was not coming to the us so dont worry
well looks like its here now

my solution is to go out to my organicgreen garden and pluck my
armenian cucumber grown in my soil with compost from my
compost pile then
wash it off cut it into slices and apply vinegar and sea salt and
enjoy the flavor with out the worry of that e coli thing

no e coli here
