(slight return)

a long hiatus it's been to the blog. i'm now situated in a different geographical locale. i might discuss that in another post if requested. saw interesting set of short films today, generally on the topic of food. here's a list of topics covered; it won't mean much to anyone who wasn't at the showing tonight, i'm afraid. in not necessarily this order, it discussed West Oakland, CA, asparagus being outsourced to Peru & Chile, "profit cola" (a funny one), Sunny Delite, GMO tomatoes, water in michigan, confined livestock, Providence school gardens, Echo Park homeless recycler, and Nova Scotia hand-liner fishing. the feature film included Earl Butz, erstwhile Agriculture secretary, and an awful demonstration of the effects of grain feeding cattle.
