Mutated food is what I often find growing in containers in the back of the fridge.

As I recall, apple seeds don'r sprout a tree that produces the same apple that it was. I'd double check that, but can't trust what's on the internet. I did see an apple in the store that was labeled bubblegum.

Did not try it.

I know this small fact because I worked in one, and I'm probably telling you something here that you already know.

Unlike Glass, uncured Rubber does flow, albeit VERY slowly. I worked at a Firestone Tire Factory for 6 years prior to my employment with Motorola. This process was explained sometime during my orientation tour (I think), I never forgot it for some odd reason. I was a Maintenance Technician then, I worked in the Curing Department. Before a tire (or rubber) is cured, it's called 'green rubber'. That's what this link refers to. Once cured (Vulcanized or Baked) it is no longer Green, and does not flow at all. In learning and seeing how a tire is built/manufactured, I was shocked to learn that the components (sidewall, rim, tread, etc.) all different rubber compounds are just glued together. The tread of your tire is automatically, and precisely cut by the tread machine (Dang It, I can't remember that machine's name!). Its ends are glued together by the tire builder at the Tire Machine. That thought scares me. This is why if you allow your tires to become under inflated and overheat, the tire will fall apart. I don't care how good the manufacturing process was, it will fall apart. (Shred itself). Scary. Very Scary.

I don't know if this is the same thing..I love to watch glass blowers. I livecto watch the heated glass flow slowly into the shape wanted.

I believe everything is connected to everything else. Learned that with my heart..kidneys..and blood..everything connected.

I agree, my writing fits the false conception of glass flowing ever so slowly. Maybe I just need someone to light a fire under me to speed up the process.

What is the meaning of life? To be a motivational speaker, living in a van, down by the river.

I think a big part of the problem is that old "See no evil.. speak no evil" which was cute with the three monkeys, but unfortunately too many people took it to heart. They don't see what's happening, they don't hear what's happening, and even when they do, they don't speak out.

What a great post! I appreciate your commentary on the article. At this point, I think we have stayed stateside since we believe our kids* still need us nearby. They had a meltdown when we mentioned we are considering moving to Georgia when my husband retires.
