What we learn from bugs in the lab

I'm not sure how much DNA we share with fruit flies, but I share their natural reactions to warmth and light.  I guess we don't make this comparison, but here is the article.

We the People should keep track of this group.  Howard Coble in NC was the only one who did not vote for a pay raise in about 1990 and serves honorably.  Maybe we should have shorter term limits so they don't get so entrenched.  Their spending is now out of control.  That's our money.  We exchange our labor for money and it is only In God We Trust that it's worth anything.

Working

I work with some of the nicest people on earth. Their questions, comments and orders have helped Andersen make a better product over the years. My customers are in the business of health, wellness and healing for both humans and animals that love them. When we can assist it is very satisfying. Some of our customers have been with us longer than I have been with the Andersen family of companies. In 1980 I began working for Andersen Products in the factory. Over the years in an office position at the switchboard I learned about the products and in sales I have covered all five regional sales territories. It is a real pleasure to hear from customers I knew from earlier years. One instructor of veterinary technicians at Purdue taught me that life can't be "hurried up" while discussing how a biological culture is incubated and read. Once a biological indicator is started it takes 24 hours and another check 24 hours later to confirm a negative culture. It's this knowledge we gain in bits and pieces that I am grateful for.

How to blog when there is nothing to say

Tomorrow I will attend a seminar on how to use electronic marketing. I am loath to write anything about products I sell and support that would cause controversy. It is clear that the products work. For more than 45 years gas sterilization has been increasingly regulated. For clinical and R&D applications using a small dose makes economic and environmental sense.

Love and trust, but how can we verify if it doesn't work?

Stop A Dividend Tax Hike This is a must for anybody with stocks that pay a dividend. The government has some nerve!!

More Stuff

On the way to get this old computer check a sign beckoned "Tag Sale". It was an easy right turn, like I need more stuff. The value is what makes these sales irresistible. I usually only buy things I can put to use, except baskets. I have hundreds and use most of them. Extra baskets can contain gifts to give away. Anyway it was less than $20 and fun to see the art. I should go back, but guess it's a Sat only sale and too late now.
