Good to hear from you, and happy your family is hale and well. I haven't time to do much reading anymore, and am spending as much of what I have on helping my neighbors enjoy their homes and lives, as that is as close as I can reckon is my purpose. It's the height of summer and the busy season here, and I am overwhelmed by too many summer squash and cucumbers, as I have never had a greenhouse to grow them in and dramatically underestimated their productivity when availed nominal heat. Too much of a good thing is still too much, but my neighbors benefit from my learning.

I have read excerpts from 'Invisible Rainbow', and amply beware the coming global totalitarian tyranny, although specific details certain to be related in the cited work will escape me. I have realized I can only maintain so much detail before it becomes a surfeit, and focus on creating a foundation of production of necessities and developing goodwill in the community, as whatever specific insults and injuries arise, those will be the most likely sources of effective reaction.

I was alarmed to find DMSO, despite being an effective tonic and medication, is quite effective as a solvent, when I spilled a bit on a finished cabinet and it peeled the finish. Made me question my sanity for a minute, but it's health benefits have been well demonstrated, and I realized I am not comparable to industrial chemicals.

Stay well and hale.

Thanks!
