2611 - sport of destiny

have you ever thought about where we will be and how we will do in a couple of centuries? it's a crying shame how bad the humanity treats the wonderful blue planet. i don't know if i should be glad not to be in at the end of the earth or sad that probably any of my offspring has to face the music.

currently the earth is our plaything of life, anytime we will be the game balls of the last match at all for a long time.

1206 - garden-fresh harvest

i know what the saying "living from hand to mouth" rather implies: you are so poor that provisioning isn't quite possible because you need simply everything you can find for your daily ration. fortunately this state isn't appropriate for us, actually most of the people of the first world don't have this problem. everything is available almost everywhere.

nevertheless also in the industrial countries some people still carry on a kind of organic farming and grow products that are obtainable in stores and shops, too. vegetables of all kinds are grown, so for many recreational farmers a hobby is associated with a useful thing - your daily bread. regardless the use of the saying of the first paragraph is also suitable for them: provisioning isn't convenient because garden-fresh, natural products are easily perishable.

the topic is present in the first place because this week tina and i care for the kitties and the great many plants and vegetables of our neighbours because they are currently on vacation. since we are assertively allowed to pick their ripe harvest, i think there are worse jobs on this planet.
