whoa: FDA Bans Antibacterial Soaps.

Cass, I'm so happy the twins are home and safe. Can you all take the long weekend to recuperate from the stress?

I blogged some opinions about the economic policy.

It's so thoughtful of my sinuses to remind me that a tropical storm is imminent.

FDA Bans Antibacterial Soaps.

Good! I hear people say they use them because what can it hurt? In terms of rising antibiotic resistance, they can hurt a fair bit. (See also antibiotics in meat animals and antibiotics for people with viruses.)

Nice! I have a knee-jerk "that's nonsense" reaction to hearing those policies, and it's nice to see a more thoughtful discussion.

Yeah, my boobs do the same thing these days.

Seriously. Makes me crazy.

Our pre-holiday early release is extra early today, hooray! I just need to run a couple of reports and I am out of here. I plan to open a bottle of wine, have my spaghetti and meatball lunch, and leisurely garden this afternoon, perhaps putter around the garage.

I think when I said "wheat" before I meant "oats". Whichever plant, driving up 395 last week around 4pm we could look out the window and say "yeah, that color"

What do oats even look like when they're growing? I am disturbed to realize I have no idea.

Which waves of grain are amber?

We never get early release here, which makes me kind of nuts. I told my team they could leave an hour early, whatever that means for them.
