I’m curious about how the new health care plan will affect seriously ill folk. There is an upsurge in a serious form of cancer, mesothelioma, which is caused by asbestos.
Why do we still have this? Hasn’t all the asbestos been safely removed from our buildings already?
My uncle died from something like this about twenty years ago. Back then the cancer was only vaguely tied to asbestos, and he had been a construction worker and drywaller for decades. I guess it used to be pretty dangerous to build houses.
There are some pretty hopeful treatments these days, but mesothelioma is a really nasty cancer. Our scientists are working on it, and there seems to be some room for hope.

Dog Treats
1 lb. raw liver
several eggs
milk
yogurt
1 c. lard, softened or melted 5 or 6 c. whole wheat flour
In a blender, liquify the liver and eggs (shell and all). Add enough milk and yogurt to fill the blender.
Pour the resulting slurry over the flour and add the lard. Stir until it forms a thick batter.
Spread into cake pans, cookie sheets, or whatever.
Bake at 325 or 350 for an hour more or less.
You want a cornbread consistency.
Slice this and dry in the sun if you want crunchies. Freeze the chunks for a summer treat.
Since there is no preservative, you need to refrigerate at the least.
Now for the real picture of Lur in his beer ad.
It’s a cinch they will sit for this treat.
