Lulu is out watering the garden. I am heading out for coffee and to do some printing for a friend - they are making a pamphlet and I have a folding machine and saddle stapler.
Come back home and will be committing a naked act of aggression against some burdock that is in the wrong place - some other weeds are going to leave today feeling a bit poorly. Glyphosate is a wonderful thing to have. It is just soap but made with Phosphorous, not Sodium. Has the curious property of inhibiting the synthesis of tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine in the plants causing them to starve to death. Harmless to mammals and insects. There is a body of claim citing cancers but when the actual numbers are looked at, the sample size is too small for any conclusive data (fudging the p-value).
