Key limes are abundant this time of year in Florida. Smaller than Persian limes, and yellow when ripe, but more tasty, subtler than the standard grocery store lime. This year not as juicy due to a drought, but as with strawberries, a drought will often concentrate the fruit's flavor. Source fruit when in season! It will be fresher, it will have been picked when riper, and it will be less expensive. In this case, free - a gift from a friend I play soccer with.
Have you eaten an MRE ("Meal, Ready-to Eat" )? Or even seen one?
Our veterans may be the only ones who have had the experience. Though after the recent hurricanes here on Clearwater Beach the National Guard visited our neighborhood and handed out MREs. Watch this short video if you have never seen an MRE and are curious about the ingredients. And if you have eaten MREs as a veteran on a war front, enjoy a burger or a hot dog on the grill instead!
Be aware of what you put on your skin. Especially if it is a chemical that increases skin absorption of harmful chemicals. Found in cosmetics and on disposable razors. And learn a better way. Old school, traditional approaches are often safer, less expensive, and less toxic to the environment.

With all the division and controversy over who should be our next president in this election year, I thought it worthy to examine the difference between the U.S. president who is to this day the only president officially honored on this holiday and the president whose holiday was combined with the original holiday to make what most people now call, "President's Day."
George Washington was a valiant, humble soldier who led our forefathers into independence from an intrusive, money-hungry government that sought to control and tax them beyond reason. Most people believe Abraham Lincoln to be the next greatest president. Yet the truth speaks otherwise. Listen and learn the truth about our 16th president. From me and from Joel Salatin, 2 old and, perhaps, wise men.
Abraham Lincoln changed the landscape of our country. He was the leader of change from a country founded on freedom to a country controlled by a more and more intrusive, controlling, money-hungry government, much like the British ...
In the light of the Presidential debate, I enjoyed stepping out from the fight & listening to the simple truth of the only way to stop our federal government's ruination of our country. If inflation was not a hidden tax and became instead a deduction from people's paychecks, the military-industrial complex would soon lose their power. And our God-given rights no longer attacked. For further details, read Ron Paul's book, "End the Fed." And ask yourself: When did the last U.S. President or Presidential candidate even mention reigning in the true cause of instability in our country? (The answer, from what I know, is the man on the $20 bill, the only president ever to end the central bank).
