Food critic on the air!

Anyone interested in U.S food policy and related issues might want to take a listen to Michael Pollan's recent appearance on our very own Seattle NPR station.  Go to www.kuow.org and search for the 9 am segment of "Weekday" on M, Jan. 12.  He discusses Obama's pick for Sec. of Ag., among other things.

Flooding

I regret to note that our discussions of flooding were timely; many communities in western WA have experienced mudslides and flooding, beginning yesterday (due to the heavy rains combined with warmer temperatures, snowmelt, and etc.).  I-5 is also again closed in Lewis County - between Centralia and Chehalis.  You can find more info on almost any local news station / website or newspaper (Seattle P-I or Times).
