From Mama Buzz: “We went on a cruise out of Valdez yesterday. We saw Columbia Glacier.”
“The crew fished some glacier ice out of the water for us to touch and hold.”

American steel is back
Scott Poyner prepares the front yard of his lifelong Granite City, Illinois, home. “I wish I was off work tomorrow so I could sit here and take a picture of the President rolling in front of my house,” he said.
“Hiding in plain sight in a suburb of St. Louis is one of the great success stories of President Donald J. Trump’s tough trade policies. This is the rebirth of the Granite City steelworks, idled in 2015 — along with about 2,000 steelworkers — under a drowning flood of subsidized foreign imports.” –National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro Continue reading

MASCOTS: Saying good-bye
Yesterday afternoon, they left their home town and today are enjoying a one-day cruise to see glaciers and wildlife. On, Saturday they say “so-long, can’t wait to come back” to the state that has been their happy home for six years.
Bunny has been very verbal about her anxieties and sadness. Mama helped her pick out an Alaska bracelet to help her with those feelings. Buzz’s autism makes it very hard for him to express himself and Bootz still doesn’t have enough language to say how he’s feeling either. The boyz comforted each other in the hotel.

The Rest of the Story
Once upon a time, a university professor spoke out against political correctness. Student activists organized against him. They encouraged students to boycott his classes. They disrupted his lectures, shouting him down, threatening him and denigrating him. He was forced to give up his academic chair.
He said he was helpless “against the murderous bellowing of youngsters who accept no individual responsibilities but pose as spokesman for a group or an impersonal ideal, always talking in the royal ‘we’ while hurling personal insults … and claiming that everything is happening in the name of what’s true, good and beautiful.”
Sound familiar?
Here’s the rest of the story.
This happened in Germany in 1925.
The student activists were Hitler Youth.

Fun with Extra SCOBYs
Kombucha needs Camellia sinensis to be properly nourished.
That means black, green, white, and/or oolong teas. Flavored teas, such as Earl Gray, Red Zinger or Chai, often contain antipbacterial essential oils that may damage the kombucha culture, so avoid using them for your main brew. Strongly smokey teas such as Lapsang Souchong, while they won’t technically damage the culture, are not considered a good flavor match by most brewers.
SCOBYs grow baby SCOBYs.
In the past, I’ve puréed the extras in water and fed them to the garden. But I just tried brewing a batch of kombucha with herbal teas. It’s so delicious! Continue reading
