You don't never not think about it?

 

What about sub urban gardening?

 

You mean like mushrooms in the utility tunnels?

 

Thinking more about roses on fences and the like

 

Hope I still look that good a dozen years from now when I get into my '80s.

Thanks!

I've know our food abundance has been a long term, government goal. Now we get to see if tax cuts out weigh food security.

I read an even stranger article about that yesterday. The one I read made this effort look like some kind of new idea, with no mention of the sustained fifty-plus-year program that's to thank for our not having screwworms all the time. Which I first heard about only five years ago, from this article:

The 'Wall' That Keeps Flesh-Eating Worms Out of America - The Atlantic

The object of the program is to have no screwworms north of the Colombia-Panama border, so their presence in Mexico seems to suggest that something lately hasn't gone right, but I don't think I got much help from the article toward understanding what.

 

I thought they were just reinstating funds DOGE cut from the program on first seeing these headlines.

From the little I've seen addressing that is simply they don't know. the assumption is some infected cattle slipped through quarantine, or were smuggled. Other animals and people could also carrier them in. A some infected dogs from the Carribean have ended up in the US in past. Don't think you can rule out some fertile flies getting carried over in a storm though.

 

Our superior one has spoken.
