non b list

NON B LIST
as i watched the state of the union last week
i couldnt help but notice
vp biden and paul ryan behind the president
as he was talking
i of course am looking for one of them to
like
fall asleep
or
pick their nose
no none of that happened

abc7news
but i must say i dont think paul ryan ever smiled
or clapped
maybe smirked a little

also as i was watching the state of the union
two things came to mind

one
that obama he got senioritis
now ive been infected with that disease four times
high school
college
med school
residency program
so i know senioritis when i see it

heck i saw obama on an interview talking about his
non b bucket list
ill let you figure that one out

yep i said to myself and my wife she
that obama he got senioritis

one thing i was thinking was
wish he and the other politicians would have had
senioritis long time ago
so something could have got done

well his list seems to be clicking along
whether you agree with it or not

then
i looked at paul ryan
funny how all of a sudden he got legislation through
that the senioritis president would sign
so
i know they both could do things that need to be done

then
i thought
you know whats wrong with the republican party
they are running all these candidates who may win
the nomination
but will struggle in a national election
you cant be far right or far left and win the election
so
thats where ryan would come in
wonder why hes not in the mix
if he was he would probably win this years election
against hillary
maybe

so maybe there will be this brokered republican convention
that
yields ryan as its nominee

wouldnt that make this election year really interesting

alzheimers news-a change and a blog

ALZHEIMERS NEWS-A CHANGE AND A BLOG

the alzheimers association capitol of texas chapter has made
a big change recently
following the lead of chapters in san diego los angeles and chicago
they have withdraw themselves from the alzheimers association

why have they and the other chapters done this
the capital chapter now called
alzheimers texas
is a powerful enough well established organization that can
stand on its own
now all the funds that are raised by the chapter can now be kept locally
to be used in the several counties it serves
making the services it renders to those areas much greater

they also will continue to funnel monies to research since
there are several large universties in texas that are in the lead
in alzheimers research
they are also closely associated to the dkr alzheimers fund
which is a big supporter of alzheimers research in the state

all the local walks will remain the same
but will be done under the name alzheimers texas

i have decided to be a big supporter of this new named group
and what their goals are
i understand why it was done

i will continue to have teams under the organicgreendoctor team name
doing the same walks as we did last year

if you are someone who donated or walked with us last year
the opportunity is still there for you to be involved with us
and
feel sure that your money and efforts will still be promoting
the same goal as before
to end alzheimers
to find a treatment and cure

eg
the alzheimers texas will continue to send money to continue
one of the research studies that i am in now

i will continue to be a big supporter also of the
national alzheimers association since
it is the organization that has helped turn the corner
on finding a cure for this disease

i will be posting more information in the near future
remember
we need your help

country n news-compost bees green conference

COUNTRY N NEWS-COMPOST  BEES  GREEN CONFERENCE


this is the time of year i harvest my country n compost
ive been known to give it as gifts for christmas and birthdays
and house warmings

it all starts with leaves like this
this person donates their yard leaves they rake and bag
usually she gives us between 25-50 bags a year
this load is approximately 25
i especially like the paper bags that are used since
they are also thrown into our compost area to be composted

then we add the leaves to our chicken run which runs around
our garden like a c on its back like a staple
it is about 80 ft long and 3-4 feet wide
we add about 2 ft of leaves to the area
overtime
the chickens pick out all the seeds and shred these leaves to
smithereens
adding of course molting feathers and frequent droppings
we also add anything that was plants like weeds leaves
plants from the garden etc

so whats left then is this rich rich real rich compost

here in the left bin is a cubic yard of compost
from the right side of the upside down c
its been composting over there for 2 years
it smells so good and is rich

the bin on the right is from the rest of the run
this cubic yard of compost has been composting about a year
its also rich in nutrition

this is a cubic yard pile of compost from inside the coop area
which is about 300 square feet
the composters spend about 12 hours a day in there
it is much richer than the other two piles
its made up of leaves poop and lots of feathers
a real gardeners delight when used on their gardens

then the last pile i make
no picture
is
i scoop all the stuff under where they roost at night
folks that is the richest of the rich
its probably real high in nitrogen
pure fertilizer it is
when i use this i use it sparingly as it is real hot to the
plants if overused

a nice haul of country n compost this year
3 cubic yards or 3 truck loads of compost
thanks to the leaf donors
and
of course to the ladies those hens who did all the work

so again thats my compost story
ill repeat it again next year
