Liberty is a fine thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n Who is Jeff and why does he have nukes?
\nJeff stands for \u2018Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion File\u2019 (JEFF).
\nA part of the Nuclear Energy Agency <\/p>\n

Item #2: A first world problem <\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

Celery prices soar<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Health food celebrities started a demand for celery juice. In Vancouver B.C., the price of a box has risen from$20 to $100 or more. A new crop isn’t expected to easy this burden until August.
\nMaybe they could use Cauliflower (there is green Broccoflower) and Fast Green FCF (aka Green Dye #3).
\nOr drink beer.<\/p>\n

Item #3: A Tree Story<\/span>\"\"
\nNot the tree ==>
\n of this story<\/p>\n

Photo shows what trail crews often have to deal with.<\/p>\n

Tipped over tree, stands back up<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In our WTA trail-crew safety talks, we mention problem trees. It seems odd, but a fallen tree can stand back up. This is an issue if we have to cut and move one from a trail. The story here is of one that came back up without being disturbed.
\nIn this story, a boy is in the hole where the roots came from.
\nHe lived. <\/p>\n

Item #4: <\/span>
\n\"\"
\nGood or bad (?), more electric autos are in our future. Current chemistry for EVs involves Lithium.
\nLi found in Western Australia<\/strong><\/a>
\nFrom Economics 101, we learn that demand influences price, and price influences supply. Or substitution: See Celery story! Not yet for Lithium, as far as I know.
\nFriday morning, an all-electric Chevy Bolt went by me on I-90. It was a nice blue color, but not as nice a blue as my Crosstrek. I had a good look, because she was going only a little faster than I was. Also, the smaller gas autos, as is mine, will go about 500 miles on a full tank. On and off the street for a fill-up takes 7 minutes. For us this may be the future. For some the future is now.
\nBetter concept for a warmer place than we now live.<\/p>\n

Item #5: Brineura<\/span>\"\"
\nThis is a new drug, the only medicine to treat Batten disease. News to you, too?<\/p>\n

Breakthrough<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The nasty news: Brineura costs $850,000 per person for one year’s supply.
\nTom Strahan, 6, was the first Australian to receive the drug called Brineura, when his family moved to Italy so he could be part of a clinical trial. That can’t be an easy thing to do.
\nIsn’t science and modern medicine astounding?<\/p>\n

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
