Blog Post, Delayed Notice
Sometimes posts on blogs that aren't hosted by Blogger or Blogspot don't show up on time in the blog feed. They get stuck in the works for months or years and then all pop up at once. Here's a long overdue blog post from the artist known as SARK:
Good News
Someone really was stupid enough to raise financial questions about banning paraquat. Yes, there are people who deserve Parkinson's Disease. Anyway, yes, Virginia, we can afford to ban paraquat altogether and forever. (We can't afford not to ban all the "pesticide" sprays used outdoors, actually, but some of us aren't intelligent enough to realize that yet.) Everyone can afford a total ban on paraquat, actually. And on glyphosate. And on glufosinate. And on every other herbicide that's ever been marketed. Insect and fungus population explosions can be a real problem, but if you don't want a plant to grow where it's growing, hello, you can always use a trowel...and if you're saying "Agriculture isn't gardening, I don't have time to use a trowel," you should get your lazy carcass into an inner-city apartment and stay there, banned by law from ever owning land again. People who have any business owning land will make the time to use a trowel rather than poison the food they sell to other people.

Sasquatch Hunting
If you come to Wise County, Virginia, you WILL see Bigfoot. Guaranteed. The sculpture on the High Knob is there 24/7/365 and makes great Canon fodder, or GoPro or Sony or whatever. Whether we've ever had another Sasquatch besides the sculpture, I doubt. I think, if the hairy giants exist, they'd live on the Pacific Coast where a lot of things are super-size.
Nevertheless...
What he said.
