Even more Salmonella issues

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:25:39 +0000

Image via Wikipedia Once again (this now happens every couple of months) the FDA is forcing a recall of food products (notice that they are called food products, not food) tainted with salmonella. This time it is hydrolyzed vegetable protein manufactured by Basic Food Flavors (that’s some flavoring they are adding…) The ‘food product’ was added mostly [...] Related posts:

Chile (and Haiti, and Katrina…): Preparedness lessons for you and me

Doc Gurley — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:07:22 +0000

We’ve entered a new arena of horror – where our Richter scale, for the first time, doesn’t seem to reach high enough, and adjectives are crumbling under the impact. “Devastation” or “catastrophe”? None of the usual descriptors feel powerful enough. So as punched-gut news of another urban area implosion reaches you today, this one from Chile, [...] Related posts:

Having a Haiti moment at JFK: there is apparently debris all over our runway (source?).

Haiti Traveling

Doc Gurley — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:01:42 +0000

How quickly we humans normalize even the most extreme scenario – as long as we see it over and over. By now, it seems perfectly normal for our fringed-draped bus to 4-wheel it over piles of rubble. We automatically get out and walk up the steep dirt-road hills of this large urban city while she [...] Related posts:

Haiti: Things Shift

Doc Gurley — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:57:01 +0000

Even the predawn day began a little differently. The shrill distant stadium cheers of hundreds of Haitian roosters sounded oddly synchronized, as though perhaps they were doing the wave. There were more dogs keeping the beat with incessant, rhythmic barking. Dogs in Haiti are everywhere underfoot, seemingly ownerless. It is something of a shock, after all [...] Related posts:
