By Sunday July 10, 2011

I think the time to address this is now…..but, I won’t hold my breath.

    >> Instead, how about wondering about food that’s never been anywhere near any real dirt.

    Shellfish, especially. We have poisonous “red tides” here in the northwest and shellfish hold that poison after the tide is over.

    Maybe radiation is completely different, but maybe not.

    Here on the Oregon beaches, we do get Japanese garbage but it’s not massive amounts. (We also get trash from Russia.)

    I guess I can’t say where the little bits of random stuff comes from — but it’s not like the beaches are covered with it.

    So, if we start getting lots of junk from Japan — it will surely be from the tsunami. From what I gather, a whole ton-o-crap got washed out to sea.

    Seems to me the fish will get most of it?

    Did you see the video? There are houses and vehicles floating in that mess.

    Great. More shoes with feet in them washing up on the shores of the Pacific Northwest. Gotta collect them all!

    #17…To answer your question “Did every body in that graveyard get buried in running shoes?”

    No. But those who did ended up with little “life vests” on their feet. Those who were buried barefoot, or with leather shoes, had nothing that would float.

    The foot broke away from the leg, as expected. However, the foot, being stuffed inside a floating rubber shoe, stayed there.

    So the question is not “buried in running shoes”. The question is “buried in indestructible form fitting plastic container that floats.”

    Animby: if you have neighbors that garden, find out what they’re doing right.

    Example: when I tried to grow squash in New Mexico (easy to grow in the Midwest), my first try yielded lots of squash bugs. The next try was cherry tomatoes, garlic, and leaf lettuce, which came out great. We kept this up while we bought a house that could protect the plants from the heat.

    I live in an apartment complex right now, and haven’t been attempting to garden other than a few roses, though others in the complex are growing vegetables. Maybe later.

    Floyd – Nah. I live in northern Thailand these days. Lots of my friends have small gardens where they grow chilies or squash and many of them have a banana tree or two, and a couple of have mangoes or coconuts. But my zucchini story referred t when I had a large garden on my land in Arizona. Never had much of a problem with bugs. My wife always planted onions and other aromatics all around the other plants. In any event, if you want me to ask them for tips on growing bananas, let me know.

    They (the millions of bodies) are also toxic to anybody who receives more than 6 to 8 photons from them of reflected light.

    Drinking any water molecules that have ever been in contact with them, even if desalinated, evaporated and rained down again as precipitation, will produce festering sores, misery and eventual death.

    Even hearing about them in a blog will eventually lead to death.

    The only way to become immune from these toxic, fearful, horrible consequences is to stop believing in things you read.

    Radioactivity doesn’t “Dissipate”, it ends up in the marine life since the ocean is an ecosystem, not just a huge water pool.

    Enjoy them radioactive salmon.

    tsunami trash may not be the only export coming from Japan.

    Probably the result of a hooker being bitten by a radioactive spider…

    Is gonorhea flotsam or jetsam?

    “…so the beach combers should be sure and check any shoes to see if they have a foot inside and contact the authorities if they do.”

    Or they could keep them and start a collection that’s bound to be the talk of the town.

    BTW, I’m sure the sea life has done its work on those bodies and now they’re appropriate only for a really awesome Halloween display.
