Debunking a few myths about GMOs....

I do not knowingly eat GMO food.

Your mileage may vary.

Lots of links, if you have time to follow, within this article about "13 Lies GMO Labeling Opponents are Recycling in Washington State."

"GE crops, and the toxic pesticides they are designed to withstand, are endangering numerous critical species, including the honey bee, frogs, birds, fish and the Monarch Butterfly.

And don’t forget our air and water. The island of Molokai in Hawaii has had its air and water quality destroyed by Monsanto’s almost-2000-acre test facility. The same is true worldwide, with many areas around GMO farms reporting horrific bloody skin rashes, an uptick in asthma and toxic pesticides that leach into the groundwater."

Yes, this means I get to explore the Riverwalk, the Dealer's Room, sit with my feet up and visit with everyone I haven't seen for years. So, new friends and and old ones! I warn you--I am an introvert who likes people, so if you see me fading, it's all right to say, "Go take a break, we'll see you later!" Will be found around Bev Hale's table, too.

I Have Voter Registration Cards!

I have them both for Travis county, and for the state of Texas at large.

So, if you would like to have some say in your state before you are relegated to non-entity? Are you eligible to vote?

Ask me for a card at LoneStarCon. They are SASE.

Go for it. Claim the future.

Also--if you have a suggestion (with a verifying link is even better) for "Reasons to Register to Vote this Time" I may compile a list to show people. But at the rate I am catching up from being sick, this list will depend on help!

Make Fresh Groceries Last Longer...

I've actually tried several of these things, and they work.
