Today's selection -- from The Great Influenza by John M. Barry.

Cool sweet water July 12, 2020
In reply to Walla Walla Wheat: 1941: It looks like the driver has a desert water bag hanging off the front bumper of the truck. To me it looks vulnerable there but that may be the only place to get enough airflow. There is still a grain terminal at the same location. https://www.moonrandolphhomestead.org/homestead-journals/2018/7/16/the-d...

In order to make […]

Saharan Dust Storm & Your Garden June 27, 2020
The African winds are blowing Sahara desert dust across the Atlantic Ocean to the shores of the United States. Some see this as a terrible nuisance. Some see it as a health risk (which it definitely can be). Others–like me–see this as a garden gift from the heavens. Or universe. Why? Because the dust blowing […]

Bumblebees Induce Flowering May 24, 2020
A new study has discovered that bumblebees actually bite plants to induce flowering so they can get to the business of pollinating. “In a sense, the bees are signaling, Hey, we need food.
