If you’re like us, you are so stressed about the aerial spraying of California, night and day have started to roll into one long extravaganza of research, research, work, work. Exhale deeply for a moment, and listen to this:
Rep. Sam Farr went to a subcommittee hearing in Washington D.C. and asked for 2 things:
1) He wants Ag Sec. Ed Schaefer to start working with other agencies, including the Surgeon General, to evaluate the effects of the spraying.
2) He wants to get to the bottom of why the Light Brown Apple Moth was classified as a class A pest in the first place.
I have to say, this sounds pretty good to me.
Read the whole article in the Monterey Herald.
Maybe I’ve got the flu. Maybe it’s being up at 2:30 in the morning. I can’t help feeling that something amazingly reasonable happened in Washington DC today.

while this is good news people of monterey and santa cruz are wondering what took so long down here. he has lost a lot of fans. there have been many letters to the editor in our local papers stating that they would never vote for him again. he has been very pro-ag and pro-spray till……….yesterday. monterey county is especially displeased with him because they got sprayed last august.
