So a growth lamp (which can be used to grow just about anything indoors), “appearing nervous,” and a secondhand claim of smelling burnt marijuana is enough for the police to storm into your house with their guns drawn.
Yea, Radley, in Pullman the thugs don’t need much to motivate them to show their true colors.
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?

Note for Haloscan Users:
Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.
Slugs, bugs, moths, spiders and much, much more are waiting for your visit at the 19th Circus of the Spineless now reproducing at Burning Silo.
After a sunflower seed meal our intrepid Black-capped Chickadee heads off for some serious birdering at I and the Bird #46.
Or, how to get medications into your colon when needed.
Oral delivery of drugs to treat colon ailments is made problematic by the normal actions of the stomach and small intestine. There is a promising new approach to solving this problem:
Researchers at the University of Guadalajara, in Mexico, have discovered that fruit compounds taken from the blue-agave plant used to make tequila can be employed as an effective method of delivering drugs to the colon. …
It has been known for many years that the blue-agave plant contains a polysaccharide known as fructan, a polymer of fructose. The compound is not hydrolyzed in acidic environments, such as the upper digestive tract, and it’s therefore able to reach the intestine fully intact.
They do not say whether the new medication delivery systems will work better with or without salt and lime.
Hmmm, and will increased demand for the blue-agave for medical purposes drive up the price of tequila?
You bet!
