“A 1 lb box of prewashed lettuce contains 80 calories of food energy. According to Cornell ecologist David Pimentel, growing, chilling, washing, packaging, and transporting that box of organic salad to a plate on the East Coast takes more than 4,600 calories of fossil fuel energy.”

A one-pound box of prewashed lettuce contains 80 calories of food energy. According to Cornell ecologist David Pimentel, growing, chilling, washing, packaging, and transporting that box of organic salad to a plate on the East Coast takes more than 4,600 calories of fossil fuel energy, or 57 calories of fossil fuel energy for every calorie of food.

Pronto Pup, Grand Haven, Michigan. Don’t you wish your weiner was this good after 77 years?

It’s amazing how much we don’t know about Harris this far into the first term, isn’t it? She’s been basically invisible to me.

Rethinking this microblogging stuff, again. Not sure why this takes up so much of my brainpower. I’m finding that I just prefer my bloggy stuff separate from my Micro.blog/Mastodon/Bluesky stuff, sort of formal vs informal. Playing with a draft site at afterword.blog.

When I see my own posts from Micro.blog on an alt Mastodon account, I never see replies from Micro.blog people from that side, even if they’re federating. I don’t see them on Bluesky, either. Why am I only seeing the full picture from within Micro.blog?

I distinctly remember being taught that “dilemma” was spelled “dilemNa” in the early 80s. Why, I have no idea.
