It has been a beautiful weekend in Missouri. Time to get some herbs and vegetables planted and enjoy some relaxation. On Saturday this little piggy went to, not the market, but the party at Derry Brownfield’s cabin. Mmm, mmm, good. We had quite a crowd out there.

I thought you might enjoy an editorial in Hernando Today, a Tampa, FL area newspaper on “Ecophobia: Environmentalist on the New Environmental Disaster.” It was sent in by Heather, an alert AgWired reader. Here’s an excerpt:

I am an ecophobe: I imagine environmentalists creating catastrophes all the time all over the world. I see great floods, famine, disease and death and behind each is the same thing: A grinning environmentalist reveling in the mayhem as if it were magic.

It’s a good one and worth a moment to read.
