In case anyone missed the PBS special The Botany of Desire which premiered Wednesday, October 28, 2009, you can still watch the entire program online. It's incredible. Book turned documentary. BOTANY OF DESIRE is a documentary which tells the utterly original story of everyday plants and the way they have domesticated humankind. An interpretation of the relationship between plants and people. This two-hour documentary explores plant evolution and takes viewers from the potato fields of Peru and Idaho, the apple forests of Kazakhstan, and the tulip markets of Amsterdam.

Factors such as soil erosion, water shortage and the impact of chemicals on bio-systems have been overlooked in favour of massive crop yields and cheaper food. But what impact does this have on our health and our environment?

Where on earth did you find this clown? Around here a guy like that would be out of business within a month. I would always tell someone to go to a reputable stove dealer. One with a storefront. And a showroom. When we installed our stove we had a dealer less than 10 minutes up the road. But went with a dealer 50 miles away. Why? Because the local dealer sold stoves only certain times of the year and had independent contractors do the work, while the other dealer is a stove shop all year round and sells nothing but stoves and stove related items. And they have cerified employees that do the installation. Eliminate the middleman? In the case of a stove installation, unless you are certified to do the work yourself, you NEED the middleman (retailer) simply because they know what they are doing and have passed the necessary tests.

How could I forget country singer, Josh Turner? He was co-host in the last hour of the Today Show this morning...I'm so glad I saw it. Not only is he easy on the eyes, but he also has such a strong bass singing voice and his deep speaking voice is beyond charming. :)

Of the new shows this season I am looking forward to watching the Defenders and Detroit 1-8-7. I live just across the river from Detroit and this show is generating a lot of buzz about it and one of my favourite Canadian comedians Shaun Majumber plays one of the detectives. It is also kind of cool that everyone who watches it will see the Detroit skyline from Windsor that I see everyday. Anne
