INTERESTING TIMES

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
people will eventually come to believe it.
--Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propagandist

The Nazis invented them. And they're in 90% of US kitchens but are banned in Russia. There's a really good rundown here from Mercola on the hazards of using microwaves. Leaked radiation affects our hearts, causing changes in heart rate and in heart rate variability. And of course we're getting similar radiation from cell phone towers, which frankly surround my current home and tower above the school building where I now sit. I seem to always have a microwave, but not because I ever buy one. Everywhere I go somebody buys one for my kitchen and then leaves it behind.

On my walk today I met another German of the same name as the German that I met in Portland. Gunther. Gunther was pruning a young apple tree that had extended limbs into the sidewalk. He asked a lot of guilty questions when I approached. "Are you the neighbor" and "Do you know these people?" but I had no connection to the apple tree or its owners. He had been unable to get permission to prune the apple tree from the homeowner because they are never home. So he decided to take care of it, for the good of all. And I caught him in the act.
