We have a serious honeybee issue. Why wasn't I told about this sooner? The honeybees are disappearing, our food supply is in danger, and Einstein said that humans will only have four (or was it five?) years of existence left if the bee goes the way of Pepsi Blue. Honestly, I'm worried. I want to help. What can I do? Can I donate money to the honeybee foundation? Should I plant bee-friendly flowers in my yard? Is there some kind of petition I can sign to bring the bees back? Whatever nature needs me to do, I will do it. As long as nature requires only about $20 of my cash and 20 minutes of my time.

There's a lot to be worried about. If it's not the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012 that does us in, it will be this dang honeybee problem. And if it's not the honeybee problem, it will be the bird flu or SARS or just good old fashioned cancer. How am I expected to get anything done when I'm surrounded by nothing but eminent doom?

In other news, Chris went to the wild game store the other day and bought elk burgers, lion burgers, kangaroo jerky, and brown bear steak. All we've had so far are the elk burgers (juicy) and the kangaroo jerky (ridiculously chewy). I'll keep you updated on the lion and the bear.

I don't know what kangaroo jerky you were eating - it wasn't chewy at all, it was like shredded beef that melted in your mouth.

Don't you dare donate money to the honeybee foundation. It's all a racket. We don't need the bees, all they do is sting us. 90% of what we eat is corn, and I'm pretty sure that corn is mostly wind-pollinated.
