Cardboard cache
After we stole two loads
of cardboard, the recycling dropoff center near us shut down. Which
means my huge pile of wood chips has been waiting in the driveway, with
no kill mulch layer to spread underneath and keep weeds from coming
back up if the wood chips are applied.
Wednesday, Mark and I
went out to get my flu shot and scope out the backsides of area
businesses. On our third try, we hit a cache of recyclables and loaded
up the car.
One hour later, several
more garden aisles were kill mulched. And now I need another load of
cardboard....

Wait...what?
You grow your garden without using pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides. (Bravo, BTW) You probably do this for many reasons, but I'm sure one of them is that you only want good, healthy things in your body, not bad chemicals.
However, you willingly allow yourself to be given a nasty chemical cocktail such as the flu shot??? There are so many natural ways to prevent and/or treat influenza.
You have a strong scientific background. You owe it to yourself to put those skills to work and spend a few hours honestly researching the pros and cons of taking vaccines.
It's kind of like taking meticulous care and maintenance of your car and then getting home and dumping in some sugar water into the tank.
