Cancer Causing Chemicals

Today's topic is serious. Some lawn chemicals have been linked to cancer in dogs which is not surprising considering that "Agent Orange", the chemicals used by the U.S. Army in Vietnam to kill the plants in the jungle have caused many health problems for the people who were exposed to them. For years afterward, many of those same chemicals were in the weed killers used on lawns. My human dad was one of those soldiers who was exposed to Agent Orange and he died 5 years ago because of the chemicals. Here is the link to the story:

My guess is that, although dogs get more exposure due to us being close to the ground and, on average, smaller than the humans; I doubt if it is good for them either.

Dedicated Employees at Amazon.com

Occasionally we get things we have ordered from Amazon.com in the mail. I wonder how many of their customers bother to thank them for sending their orders so promptly. Most companies store their merchandise in warehouses that are usually located in cities. Amazon's warehouses are located in the Amazonian rain forest which is why the company is called Amazon. Those workers have to trudge through the jungle to get to work and mail the packages. That takes nerve to know that you could meet a cobra, a tiger, or a lion--not to mention a cute little poison dart frog on the way to work. Most employees do not have to go through such hazards just to get to work. Next time you get a package from Amazon.com, be sure and thank them for their perseverance. It takes dedicated employees to go through so much to get to work and then have Walmart declare war on them every few days. Amazon employees are a brave group!
