Just When You Thought Spring Was Here...

Yup, it's snowing here today.  It's mostly behaving like rain, except it's starting to stick a little here and there (right now the flakes are so huge they look like they could take somebody's eye out!!).  All of the spring plants that were sending up their shoots will need to get out their mitts and slippers for the next couple of days!

Continued Pandemic Hats Off to Weggies!  I ventured out to do our weekly shopping earlier today, and they continue to have everything under control.  I only had to improvise on a couple of things (canned lentils vs. the dried ones - there wasn't a dried bean to spare!!  I don't think those had been on the rationing list, LOL).  

A new Pandemic Hats Off to Black Button Distilling, who began producing ethanol-based hand sanitizer a few days ago.  They were one of the first of our area's distillers, so have been a leader since their inception.  What a great way to help the community!!

I thought I'd mention the MCP again today; I haven't made much progress since the last pic, but I have applied an unusual amount of prophylactic stitch markers (I think there are 6 or 7 in total):


I hope you are all doing well; we're still good here!

Poisons

Macinnis, Peter (2004). Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar. New York: Arcade Publishing. From the author’s web site : "As usual, I am interested in the people, their interactions and the social effects that poisons have had, as well as the science. There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
