Where Does that cows milk
come from?
Times have changed shoppers, you
are likely drinking milk from a factory
farm ,in spite of the farm listed on the label.
Chickens? Pigs?
Factory Farm Pollution Stinks
You may not like to think about where your chicken comes from, but the truth is that America's drinking water, rivers, and lakes are at risk from giant, corporate-owned factory farms. These concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) confine thousands of animals in one facility and produce staggering amounts of animal waste in the process (2.7 trillion pounds per year). Too often, this waste leaks into our rivers and streams, fouls our air, contaminates our drinking water, and spreads disease. Ew, right? Arkansas writer Suzi Parker digs into the dirty secrets of the booming poultry industry, explaining how your love of oven-stuffer roasters is destroying lives and landscapes across the South. (Parker's story is part of a Grist special series, "Poverty & the Environment," on the intersection of economic and ecological survival.) When you're done reading, learn more and do something about it.

Today I opened a package at my mail drop.
As a smoker at the back of the P.O. looked
on, I opened a box, inside I could see a furry
red object. Thinking this could be something
highly embarrassing to open in public.
I got in my truck to open the box inside red
lion that growled seductively . The box
also contained a giant red hersheys kiss.
In the box was a very sweet and straight
from the heart card, with real kisses!
My wife also sent a "Buck Fush T-shirt"
and a "Meet_the_Fuckers" T- shirt
These gifts are my first ever for Valentines
Day and I know I definitely
married the perfect girl.

Today I received a Valentines Day card from
my Mom. I am lucky to have a loving and
supporting family.
My wife is getting grief for moving to Texas.
She has no support or blessings from her
family. I regret that immature and selfish
people can give my new wife such a hard
time. I have learned it is very easy to get
married. It will take peace love and
understanding to stay married.
I am ready to begin my new life,
My wife was very very happy I sent her a
bouquet of tulips for Valentines Day.
The first I've ever sent anyone.
I am looking forward to my trip out west
in 2 weeks to bring my wife to Texas.
