Here is THE best overview of the VITAL roles that iodine plays in human health I've seen anywhere. I however disagree with their buying into our gov'ts RDA of 120 MICROGRAMS as other developed nation's RDAs are EIGHTY THREE times higher!! Coastal Japanese people eating kelp etc. often consume 40 MILLIGRAMS daily and are amazingly free of health issues common in the U.S.

I had a great time last night with so many good fun folks! The food was wonderful and conversation and laughter non-stop, the hats TRULY wacky!! Thanks for the lovely greeting cards, my awesome cattleya orchid, huge pineapple guava, vanilla orchid, white pataya, the tons of leftovers, oodles of beer and wine, and the three gifts of 420! I look forward to seeing the pics people took. I'M SIXTY!!!

Chow Down!!

Might be time to sever the male bloom cone on my Raja Puri out front to help the bananas plump up. The plant has benefited greatly from the first wet summer in south Tampa in 8-9 years, plus I gave it ample fresh horse manure, feed grade urea and food grade potassium chloride (aka muriate of potash).
