We’ve been looking for property in Puerto Rico again. It is kind of difficult for a few reasons. One reason being it is 3,000 miles away. The other is that the listings available are few and sometimes it is near impossible to get a hold of the realtor listing the property or if we do get a hold of someone they don’t follow up with more pictures.
Anyhow we are looking again and will make another trip once we see something of interest.
Last night we hopped over to Fort Collins to check out a local band Trichome. We’ve seen them a few times at different venues. They held a free show in support of their CD release party. We went with our friends Matt and Jamie and Isaac came down from Lafayette CO.
Before the show started.
RockBand, the game did a pretty good job of describing the progression of a band. You start off doing small shows then bigger and bigger and gain more and more fans. Trichome has done a pretty good job and now they are releasing their CD. We have noticed a change in their style too. What we first appreciated about them was their ability to play reggae. They’ve taken on a more funk/disco persona from what we’ve seen in the past.

I think for us the change in music style isn’t exactly what we like because we’ve followed them as a reggae band. But I wish them well and have seen a remarkable improvement in their performances. They are getting more and more professional and it seems that they have a pretty big following!

So it looks like the government needs to step in and protect us from eggs now. From CNN:
“The fresh eggs from the recalled firms are being diverted to USDA-approved facilities for pasteurization,” Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Patricia El-Hinnawy said Wednesday.
Well honestly, that is about the expected result. Instead of fixing the problem (large scale centralized food production) we come up with another quick fix.
I just find it amusing (especially after raising a few hens in our backyard) that there is all this hoorah about some eggs. People really should just take matters into their own hands and raise a few themselves. But as we’ve seen, the government does NOT want that.
I mean just think. People could be responsible for themselves and there wouldn’t be a need for a .gov agency to oversee EVERY single egg this country produces and consumes. It really is laughable the lengths we Americans go to in order to feel safe.

If you are lucky like me, when you just click it Windows Media Player will stream and play it. It is too large for youtube otherwise we would have posted it there.
