Thailand: Day 10
I am still in Bangkok, and it appears that I will be for ~4 more days! Two political parties siezed Suvarnabhumi International AP three days ago, and then Don Mueang Regional AP night before last. All international flights in Thailand depart from and arrive to Suvarnabhumi AP; I was scheduled to fly to Bangalore yesterday.
The protests and occupation are at least peaceful for now. No one in the occupation has weapons firearms, but have made spear-pointed baracades in the airline terminal, and t… Continue

Lampang, Thailand
Hello Dear Friends:
Thailand in general is a mix of complete chaos and very kind, peaceful people. I have been treated very kindly for no reason I think other than it is their nature to do so. I met with the manager of the Thai Elephant Conservaton Centre yesterday, and learned much about the issues pertaining to domestic elephant conservation and the implications on wild elephants and conservations lands; more later with images when I can get to a reliable con… Continue

Get Spiritual, Eat Sweet, or Give Kombucha a Kick ::: You Pick!
How many times have you passed signs that call out “You Pick”? Did you stop? I suggest you do. Here’s the drill: pull over, park it (a bike? Nice!) and walk in. Say hi, stretch your body and grab a bucket. Walk over to a tree full of fruit and eat a little. Most places don’t mind at all if you eat a bunch *and* buy some.<br /> <br /> Go hungry! Things taste better when you’re hungry. Don’t worry about what you’re going to take with you. Just eat as much as you want. It’s good for you. So is being outdoors. Did you bring some people you love? That’s key. It’ll be even more fun with people you love...Ken Wilber
Wilber's holism:::A key idea of Wilber's is the holon, which came from the writings of Arthur Koestler. He observed that it seems every entity and concept shares a dual nature: as a whole unto itself, and as a part of some other whole. For example, a cell in an organism is a whole and at the same time a part of another whole, the organism. Another example is that a letter is a self-existing entity and simultaneously an integral part of a word, which then is part of a sentence, which is part of a paragraph, which is part of a page; and so on. Everything from quarks to matter to energy to ideas can be looked at in this way...FOOD CLUB - Zoobird
The process of dependence on the externals has to be reversed so as not to rely solely on the body senses.

In Kenya, this dish is called sukuma wiki, named after the dark, leafy greens from which it's made.

Are by any chance from the DeLand area? DHS class of 75 or so? I remember a Chandler who took photos for the student newspaper and yearbook back then.
Here's a picture of your patch:
As you can see, your broccoli are thriving:
Hope all is well,Mike
Thanks so much for the amazing demo! I have only one (yeah, right...) question: why isn't everyone doing this obvious, great way of irrigation? I guess the best ideas are the simple ones. It's just a matter of time. But, hey - it makes so much sense. If you can smell water, then it's being wasted. But, 95% of sprinkled water is wasted? Shocking!
Thanks, aso for your generosity is providing all of us with hose to do the drip watering. I can't wait to rig mine up properly. Especially since I travel! What a godsend.
I bet if you gave your class regularly, you'd have a crowd.
Regards,
Michael
