We all piled into the car with towels, chairs, food and a bunch of beach toys our nice neighbor lady loaned us (she has grandkids…) and head for the Half Moon Bay area. We wound up at the James V Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, where we learned about the no-bucket rule at the reserve. It makes it too tempting to gather plants and animals, the ranger told us.

When we got home, Continue reading Post ID 48

What with all the manufactured media mania about Bisphenol-A (aka BPA) in our Nalgene and baby bottles, and owning more than a dozen Nalgene bottles, I’ve been following the story pretty carefully.
Once one burrows down through the hysteria, it looks to me like my exposure to BPA is much higher through commercially canned foods (nearly daily) than through drinking from my Nalgene (a few times a month). Continue reading Post ID 48
