Nails and Sawdust: April 2015

http://isserfiq.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

And some other stuff too. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Ten days ago the Crocuses and Reticule Irises were just sprouting. A bit of welcome color. Then we got a Grackle invasion. Like something out of a Hitchcock movie. Then we got hit with three inches of wet sloppy snow, that stuck around for about three days. After that cleared out I managed to remove about 5 wheelbarrows full of road sand from the lawn using the leaf blower. And used the sand to fill out the low wet spots behind the barn. As according to t...

Por las calles de Manga: agosto 2009

http://porlascallesdemanga.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Por las calles de Manga. Sigo viéndomelas con palabras y con un mar en el que me pierdo. 27 ago. 2009. Vínculos a esta publicación. 25 ago. 2009. Los montes de María. En una canción de Bebe.

Is any harm being done? | AidSpeak

https://aidspeak.wordpress.com/2014/08/01/is-any-harm-being-done

Between the rock of epistemological inertia, and the hard place of operational context. Is any harm being done? I’ve learned the hard way over the years that anyone who dares to speak up against amateur do-gooder, voluntourism in any significant way can expect a flood of response, usually emotional. Sometimes even downright vitriolic. Okay, people needed clothing, we sent used clothing what’s the real harm? Volunteers in Haiti, earthquake 10 days. Any harm being done? Photo by J.). One’s tolerance for ba...

Nails and Sawdust: September 2014

http://isserfiq.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

And some other stuff too. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Picked the last of the tomatoes. Not much growing left in them this year, so took them all and cut down the plants. Bumble bees are drunk on sugar from the sunflowers. Sleeping it off right on the flower. Parsley has finally got bushy after looking sorry most of the summer. Got a good bit of my dead fall and garden trimmings brush pile taken care of. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Sunday, September 28, 2014. Yes, we do chainsaws and trees too. We took ...

Nails and Sawdust: July 2014

http://isserfiq.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

And some other stuff too. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Tomato Cankers, Hornworms and Green Aphids. Sad state of affairs in the veggie department. Figured out why the Early Girl tomatoes were ripening before maturing. Question is how do we prevent the cankers? Any one have a remedy? Hornworms have invaded my tomato plants as well. Picked eighteen of them off the plants today. They are only half inch long but will grow to 3 inches and as fat as your finger in a couple of weeks time devastating the plants. Not s...

#FreeTheSeed and the Romanticization of Uganda’s Hunger | Campaign for Boring Development

https://boringdevelopment.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/freetheseed-and-the-romanticization-of-ugandas-hunger

Campaign for Boring Development. FreeTheSeed and the Romanticization of Uganda’s Hunger. March 24, 2015. This Noble Savage retread came up most recently in Global Justice Now’s #FreeTheSeeds. Campaign. The punchline, nicely encapsulated in a quote by Ugandan seed activist Beatrice Katsigazi. Let’s kick the tires on this claim; look under the hood to see how well it really runs. That was true in 1960, when Uganda had to feed 6.8 million people from the food it produced on 7.8 million acres of farm...As ha...
