"Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too strong to be broken." - Warren Buffet

While doing the morning feeding routine I gave Cannoli and Donut their CD-T booster shots. That's sill not my favorite part of raising goats but I'm getting better at it. Get the needle in and then inject the vaccine as quickly as the plunger will move. A forty-pound kid is a lot stronger than it looks and will fight against your restraining grip quickly.

I spent a couple of hours this morning working on Sunday's sermon. Learned some interesting things in the process, one of the things I like most about prep.
"Looking to Jesus...." (Heb. 12:2) That's the only place in the NT where that word occurs and it means to turn away from looking at one thing to look at another.
That fits my sermon proposition.
It's so nice when a Bible verse backs up what I want to say. (sarcasm, folks.)

With the huge jury award over the alleged toxicity of glyphosate and the non-Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis in that school groundskeeper there's been a lot of noise online about the evil giant Monsanto and their disregard for human life. Then a couple of days ago a study was released that found "unacceptable" levels of glyphosate in cereals kids eat. I put unacceptable in quotes because there's no consensus that glyphosate is the cause of NHL and/or what are toxic levels. You can find national and international health bodies on both sides of the issue.
To those panicked about killer cold cereal: don't feed your kids out of a box. (or can, or any other container). At least minimize their fake food intake.
Rule of thumb: if it has a list of ingredients you probably shouldn't be eating it. And if you can't pronounce those ingredients, understand that what you're eating came out of a lab.

Disclaimer: we eat a relatively small amount of food from containers. BACON come in a package.

Just curious, why isn't there any outrage directed at the farmers who apply Round Up to their fields?

I cleaned up the teardrop today in preparation for our trip next week. Heavy sigh.
It's in bad shape. One of the cupboards had been so damp that the aerosol can had rusted to the bottom of the cabinet. More mold, even after my thorough Simple Green cleaning of a month ago.
One more trip and I'll put her out of her misery.

I saw this poster online this morning. It compares goat meat to those most typically eaten by Americans. Besides being fun to raise and tasty, they're good-for-you food.

Did you know that more goat meat is eaten in the world than any other kind of meat? And you won't get any glyphosate!
