To start thinking green is clean and blue is ewwwwww. The only blue pools I know of have so much toxin in them it’s mind-boggling. The pool pictured here has had no poisons added to it. And that dragonfly larvae is literally 6 or 7 feet down. Yet you can see it clearly. Bob www.PuraVidaAquatic.com
She just scored a big win in court.
I think that part of permaculture is doing a good job of recycling and that is also one of the reasons why I’m a huge fan of SpaceX. I have gotten disgusted with rechargeable batteries though. They are toxic so you shouldn’t throw them in the trash. And they don’t seem to last very long for me.
I had a jar of them and was thinking that I should try and take them somewhere, but had just not gotten around to it. I was cleaning up around that jar and decided to take a few of them and sand the ends with very fine sandpaper and try to recharge them again. They all recharged.
I have taken the rest of the jar, probably two dozen batteries, and have a 90% recharge rate after having sanded the ends thoroughly until they were bright and shiny. I think that rechargeable batteries are actually designed to fail. They all have a little dimple in the end where the chargers contact. It is very difficult to buff there. In some cases I took a file and rounded the end so that it was more dome-shaped and I can get the whole contact point all shiny.
I have a whole bag in the freezer now. They last a lot longer charged up if thay are in the freezer.
The Supreme Court just made it still easier for the police to stop and search people without any suspicion of wrongdoing.

Sonia Sotomayor makes a variety of very good arguments. Of course she’s a Supreme Court Justice.
The second best non-chemical Zika prevention of all time! :-)
She has hundreds if not thousands of them and the owners also cool off in the pool on hot days.

PS the best mosquito preventer is a damselfly in my opinion. Damselfly larvae eat mosquito larvae and damselfly adults eat mosquitoes.
And those obnoxious gambusia eat tadpoles and damselfly larvae, please do not use them.

But I am sure that this client is cool in their pool2pond.
I am just tickled that it is so clear now.
From this: a couple of months ago.
And another picture of before….
Well there is too much religion at the end for me, but the beginning and middle is something well worth watching. It revolves around relationship sustainability. And the person I was watching this with knows about my XY chromosome ideas :-) And for some strange reason is still willing to be seen in my company.
But I think this is a perfect description of our brain chemistry and how deep that chemistry goes. Pink and blue video cameras! I would bet that a male gorilla feels the same way in a conflict that it doesn’t want to actually physically fight about. A conflict with a friend or with someone who is important to him.

I think this would be a great thing to have your kids do. Sky Mountain is a wonderful permaculture location. And even if you feel that you’re doing similar things with your own kids, having them learn it from somebody else might make an impression on them :-)
And give you some time off :-)
I have the best job. I’ve had people tell me that I’m not as professional as I should be and that’s okay as an amateur (root is amore) I do it for the Love Of It :-)
Many of my friends get to a Friday moonlight hike I attend complaining about their jobs, or the week, or about their co-workers, and I have spent it watching ducks, and butterflies, and dragonflies, frogs, and promoting knowledge.
I have clients who send me excited emails about what they have learned about some of the native marsh plants I have put in their system.
In the sixties and seventies we screamed about the loss of the Amazon jungle habitat and biodiversity while we were destroying right and left America’s own marshes and wetlands and the biodiversity that they contained. And I get to reintroduce some of that biodiversity to people’s own backyards.
I have the best job.
