nice to see that Murray and Larson did NOT take any Monsanto campaign money.
and few surprises on the list of senators who DID take Monsanto money.

- I had the pleasure of meeting Whatcom County Council candidate Jean Melious at the Whatcom Humane Society Gala last night, and shared with her the potential of using mycelium to remediate fecal coliform for farmers and ranchers faced with this issue. She was quite receptive to the idea. I hope she does well on her bid to represent Whatcom county.

I thought you seemed disappointed that I couldn't talk after the meeting--apologies--if you want to talk, please call me at 671-3242. Between 4:15 and 5:15pm is most reliable, or we can plan a time.
Cheers, Laura

Chris Wolf said… - Hi Katie,
I have not had a chance to get to know you much, but I look forward to getting acquainted more. Cindi Landreth told me that you are looking for someone to study mushrooms with you this Fall and she thought I would be a good candidate. I am very interested! From what I have learned about mushrooms so far, I think they are extremely important, and usually overlooked (in forestry, gardening, etc.) Can you give me more information about this mushroom class? Thank you! --Chris
