Anybody seeing that hat in EL would stop dead in their tracks, because everybody here knows or has heard about the legendary DWags.

I'd probably just want to touch it.

If it's truly organic it's an inferior product at an increased price. I'd say roughly 90% of what it sold as "organic" wouldn't fit the average consumer's mental perception of "organic". Meaning most of it is grown/raised using the same intensive agricultural methods as "regular" food and has traveled the same long distances to market. The major difference being the price you pay.

How is that a scam?

You want to talk about a scam that's been harvesting money out of peoples' pockets, skewing the perception of consumers, and actually harming the environment it's the meat industry and their lobbying and marketing organizations.

What on earth is is agricultural astrology?

Known as 'biodynamic farming' or 'agricultural astrology', it is a food production method that "advises the planting, cultivating and harvesting of crops based on moon phases".

Liz Cotton, a buyer for Infinity Foods in Brighton, told the MailOnline: "Biodynamic is similar to organic but these farms are self-sufficient in compost, manure and feed for the animals.

"They use an astrological calendar to determine when to plant. It's a bit strange, but the eggs taste amazing - the yolks are bright sunset yellow and they taste better than organic."

First heard the term 'biodynamic farming' when the wyff bought a season share at the Community Farm of Ann Arbor in the late 90's. CFAA is actually pretty cool. Paul and Anne are good people. They had cows back then and we could easily buy raw milk. Not a lot of land but the place was pretty much self-sustainable with members chipping in some time. Our kids loved going there.

They have a harvest festival every fall...late afternoon/evening potluck picnic for all members. Went to 3 or 4 of them. Worst one was during that loss to Notre Dame when Charles Rogers seemed to be keeping us in the game. Kept running out to the car to turn on the radio. Went back to the festivities, dejected after the loss. Fortunately, no one there seemed to know or care about the loss and I ended up feeling better after a while.

Learned after my first CFAA festival many members had their kids in Steiner/Waldorf schools.

Haven't been there in years but nice to see it's still around. Looks like they still have cows

I guess not. Do you recommend a certain kind of monkey?

What I hear you saying is it can get terribly lonely in greater Crawford County.
