To Sam, also Known as Harry..

Hey Sam,

I'm answering your question here, so nothing happens to it! grrrr.. google grrrrr..

I'm sorry if I missed commenting but I did get one comment from you recently and did post a comment/reply. It was about the teenager who has received a lot of attention with her findings about Global warming. And no, absolutely not. There haven't been any inappropriate comments from you or anyone. Sometimes, before moderated comments, I used to get some real zingers!

I usually answer comments right in under the ones that come from others. Sometimes I may forget by accident (due to brain atrophy in the aged). For instance, I'll click to approve a comment, not write it down, and then it takes me awhile, anxious searching, to find it again and post an answer. So, I'm sorry that you were unduly worried by either my brain or google's administering their new products.

This web site, below is one that you might be interested in. It fits with the post you recently made on your blog about what is happening to cause food shortages. My daughter sent it to me today.

What is going on?

I thought that just about covered how vulture capitalists (hedge funds who got bailed out of their last two debacles) are following anything and everything that could return handsome profits. Watch them go after health care! Yes, yet another go around...

I will go look for any of your comments I might have missed commenting on after clicking them through as "approved". Perhaps the best thing is to remove that extra layer of hurdles, since another person told me recently that some of her comments didn't make it to the click line for me either. Google was in the process of switching over a few things they'd acquired, and trying to fold them seamlessly into Blogspot, so this might be the reason it happened. I'm sorry that you were left to wonder.

Now for the local weather. Today it was not as hot, by a few degrees as yesterday. Yesterday the outdoor temperature was slightly over 100* in the shade patio, that green thing out the big slider, and 82* in the house. Not bad for no AC. Maybe everything will work better as it cools down again, even my little old doggie's back legs. He's getting up there for a challenged ancient one. This summer we have to keep him cool and stress free.

There is no sock or knitting report, as the weather is a BEAST this week. It's not even May! Knitting is not possible in plus 100 heat. Underwater knitting is best in this weather. I"m sure it's been done by bored scuba divers waiting for someone else to get back up the drop off. just kidding.
