Typed/tapped out, one can see it better. It's not very difficult otherwise but it's obscured, mainly -- A simple thing such as a sneeze can obstruct your perception for that one/two second(s) needed to comprehend. Well here I am now, and it's real. Open those ol' eyes up now, will ya? The spiders are still making their webs, the birds their nests, the beavers their dams, the wives their dinners... It's about as accessible. Remember Britannica? Just remember your resources and you will almost float above the solution-- hands free, I swear. Shit, you might even find an e-solution. Maybe you even typed it out!
Well, hats off to you. Lucky for you I never wear a hat, and when I do, I'm working. What can you source from this? That's not the question, rather what can the source provide you? Maybe an answer, maybe not. Just be sure that you are yourself, a constant. One cannot read oneself if the constant is adrift. A moving reference never works!
Insanity, perhaps? Perhaps. Thank you, hats off once again I guess. I'm not at work.

Why does Wal-Mart sell meat injected with water and chemicals?

Why does Wal-Mart sell meat
injected with water and
chemicals?
If you read this space regularly, you know I’m a tad obsessed about the meat at Wal-Mart. It’s not that I plan to eat any of it soon, it’s that I think people ought to know exactly what gets done to it. I’ve been following the story Wal-Mart suppliers gassing the meat with carbon monoxide for months, and I knew that Wal-Mart watered down its meat but I didn’t quite understand how much until I read this outraged letter to Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott:
I didn’t take the time to inspect the entire meat department but I did look at a small sampling of those cuts around me.
I have no doubt in my mind that this is (sorry about the pun), just the tip of the iceburg. If you carry this through, you will realize that we’re paying considerably more per pound of “meat” than the label implies. While we believe we’re buying a 5-pound fillet for $4.96 per pound or $24.80 total, in reality, it’s costing considerably more. Divide the price for the four pounds of actual meat when you subtract for a pound for the solution and you’ll see that we paid $6.20 for a pound for the actual meat.
Now I realize this guy didn’t do a scientific survey or anything, but Wal-Mart told the NYT that “a majority of its fresh offerings are enhanced with a 6 to 12 percent solution of water, salt, sodium phosphate and natural flavorings.” Perhaps they have their math a little off?
If Wal-Mart isn’t selling water in its meat in order to rip people off, what exactly is all that solution doing in there? Here’s Wal-Mart’s explanation to the Hartford Courant:
Wal-Mart’s corporate headquarters told me that all its case-ready beef (packaged at the processing plant) is

Wal-Mart’s corporate headquarters told me that all its case-ready beef (packaged at the processing plant) is
“enhanced with a maximum 12 percent solution of water, sodium phosphate, salt, and natural flavorings. As a result, case-ready beef is superior in tenderness, texture, juiciness, and flavor to non-enhanced beef cuts and provides a preferred eating experience.
[Emphasis added]“
So let me get this straight. Wal-Mart saves money buying its meat from factory farms. Wal-Mart saves money by not hiring meatcutters so that they won’t unionize. Wal-Mart saves money by selling its customers water at the same price by weight they charge for meat. Yet they’re trying to tell us they sell meat injected with water and chemicals because we’ll get a “preferred eating experience?”
How dumb do they think we are?

This pretty much sums it up: If you like being lied to, scammed, tricked, made a fool of, and looked down upon by corporate jerk-offs trying to make money; If you like to put money into the pockets of these individuals who aim to rip you off; If you like to promote the message that Walmart stands for; If you want to see all of your local businesses shut out, then by all means, shop at Walmart. HOWEVER, if you want to take a stand and show them that you're not a fool, then don't shop there. EACH and EVERY thing that you buy from Walmart will support them directly. I'm not on a vengeance to take down Walmart, I just want everyone to know the truth.
Do not shop at Walmart -- take a stand!!

I Could Go
Today on the way home, I decided to play Oberhofer. Best decision of the day. It sparked an image indeed.
I pictured taking the album, or in particular, the song "I Could Go" and blasting it in a recently rediscovered old dingy theater with dust everywhere. Dark wood that resembles a recent fire maybe. I picture the bass from the song vibrating the dust down from the rafters making it fall through the rays of sunset through the windows.... Orange beams of light that feature the dancing and falling dust as it slowly falls like snow inside.... Play the song loud. I have a weird early version that lacks some cohesiveness in the middle part but it sounds fantastic in it's primitive stage.

_______________
Holes in my coffee
Holes in my stew
Holes cover the walls and under my shoes
Holes in my socks
Holes in my fur
Holes weave like She can, but not like Her
Holes help the rats and
they even help the bats
Holes won't discriminate; don't need to be flat
Holes by the pond
Holes cover the trees that stretch out beyond
Holes in my toothbrush
Holes in my comb
Holes in the construction site behind my home
Holes are wide and
Holes are much wider
Holes can sink a ship even though they're lighter
Holes can dream
Holes can sing
Holes can deliver what's never been
Holes will be holes and
holes will be Holes
Holes can be anything but they'll never be whole
Holes are expensive
Holes are not free
Holes bring to dinner what the judge can't see
Holes can jump
Holes can play dead
Holes don't help the cold 'round my bed
Holes are hard workers
Holes are for hire
Holes can fulfill your every desire
Holes gamble your money
Holes win it back
They'll steal yr woman when you turn your back
Holes can have eyes and
Holes can have ears
Holes can create the evidence; put you away for years
Holes read novels
Holes read journals
Holes make the stuff that the priests call eternal
Holes in my hair
even Holes in my chair
there's Holes in my family, they're everywhere!

Just an ol'-fashioned love song
When the blade cuts through the steam and the falcons run for cover, there will be residents doing the jive out of safety rather than joy, and the credentials required to do so have already been handed out. If you missed the invitation, or if you have disregarded any previous sign, then you may be subject to a radio-wave beating. This will consist of reading the following
"An earliest reference to sunlight, composed of seven components, can be found in Surya Ashtaka hymns of Samba Purana which is a Vedic text in ancient India."
You must read.... you must read. The waves will beat you. I escaped -- gracefully, if I may.

Happy Birthday Brent Mydland
This beer "Raging Bitch" had only one thing come to mind today...
"...She's temperamental, more a bitch than a machine."
Tons of steel, one of the best train songs ever written; right up there with Orange Blossom Special.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT!!!
