1. When I was a little kid I read a book about this guy and was totally smitten by his work and discoveries. Guess I was a weird geeky kid that I was totally into an agronomist sort as a hero! Probably no surprise I ended up as a farmer! As an adult I realize just how amazing he must have been to do what he did as a black man in the south at that time.

   1. Ani,
      When I was a youngster I read a book about this man was totally fascinated with his scientific ingenuity (sounds like we’ve had similar histories regarding this man doesn’t it?) The book I read was:
      Mr. Creator’s borrowed brown hands by Yvonne Davy
      It can be found at Amazon:
      https://www.amazon.com/Creators-borrowed-brown-hands-Panda/dp/B0006CK408

      Just curious if this was the book you read? I’ve read the book twice, the first as a grade schooler in a one-room school and the second during college. A fascinating book! I would actually like to read it again.

      1. @ David

         No, that title doesn’t sound familiar(not that I’d necessarily remember the title of a book I read when I was in single digits!). I just recall it being a simple paperback biography of him and his discoveries. But it was a fascinating read for a little geek like me!

2. He would have been cool to sit down and talk with. If there is any one today with whom you could say the same thing; do it. Time is short and eternity long.

3. http://ogdaa.blogspot.com/ A note on this blog about Remus Marsilvia.

4. I don’t know if it is true, but read an update on everyones friend Remus at yer old Woodpile report. Sad, if true.

   Remus passed away on July 8th. He was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks prior.

   1. Also posted today on Notes From the Bunker with Commander Zero.

5. I hope, one day, we recognize accomplishments without noting the gender or the sexual orientation or the religion… or the artificial sub-grouping(s) of species of a ‘person of note’.

   I hope, one day, accomplishments can be recognized without saying those accomplishments benefited only a specific conquered nation, implying nobody else in that conquered nation is capable of similar achievements.

   I dream of a day we are all ‘just folks’.

6. Dr. Atlas: Coronavirus surges linked mostly to protests — and proximity to US-Mexico border

   ‘A setup to spread cases’

   “They correlate mainly to two things —

   1) the big thousands and thousands of people with protesting, sharing megaphones, screaming. That’s a setup to spread cases,” Atlas said.

   2)”And also when you look at the analysis of the border counties, there’s a tremendous amount of cases coming over the border and exchanging with families in the northern Mexico states.”

   Atlas also explained the hospital capacity situation in Texas and Arizona.

   What if the protests were simply a method of spreading COVID-19? To defeat the shut down of society, which was working. Folks bused in from many miles away, gathering in close proximity, sharing bottles, joints, needles, and other bodily fluids, and then returning to far away destinations… Those protesters were useful idiots…

7. George Washington Carver was a brilliant man, I always spend some time teaching my students about his accomplishments in introductory Ag classes.
