It’s hard to read or watch anything online without running into false and misleading advertising. My favorites are ads that promise a common food or simple household product can reverse aging, end Alzheimer’s, and cure dementia. None attain FDA approval, of course, and often claim powerful interests want their ingredients kept secret. Somehow us older folks get exposed to lots of these ads.

Disrupt it long enough and the world economy grinds to a crawl. The fog of war is still thick. The fog of resolution is thicker still. How does this situation end?

Of the several repetitive garden chores I was responsible for as a teenager are never-ending Sisyphean tasks I swore I would not do when I grew up, three in particular irritated me: Mowing grass, hoeing garden rows, and shlepping potted plants indoors and out.
I’ve dropped two, by gardening in small raised beds planted thickly instead of row-cropping and mulched to keep weeds at bay; and losing the lawn.
