I remember reading a story years ago where there was another legionaire outbreak in the UK. It took them ages to realize the cause was most likely people filling their windshield wiper reserves with water instead of cleaner. The water sat in the tanks and grew bacteria. The bacteria was then aerosolized every time drivers used their wipers.

I think this was around the 2008 collapse and remember it being strongly implied that people trying to save a buck may have been poisoning their own neighborhoods.

Considering how tight everyone is stretched right now, economically. I would not be surprised by an uptick of watering-down.

Your comment about Deadwood is resonating hard with me. Very well articulated, thank you.

I enjoy Robert but have to agree a bit. I get so into the subjects but the digressions make me lose interest sometimes.

I hated mushrroms my whole childhood. Ate magic mushrooms when I was about 19, and they changed my opinion of mushrroms in general. Like I suddenly appreciated their earthy, woody, umami beauty.

He reminds me so much of what the Tibetan Dalai Lama is supposed to be. A person put on the planet to love the rest of us. Just love us, with all of our problems and confusing emotions and dangerous tendancies. Thanks for posting this. He is to me, what a ray of sunlight is to a cat.

I absolutely love this phrase and am stealing it.
