This is disturbing.

We haven't been getting personal mail for the last 2+ weeks. No bills, just magazines and advertisements.

2 packages sent to me, one from England and one from Scotland, a month ago have vanished into a black hole, as has a letter from Scotland.

2 eBay packages I mailed early Monday afternoon didn't make it to the main facility in Des Moines until last night.

If someone is interdicting my mail I want to know why and who is doing it. I just don't know how to find that information...

Maybe I should check the terrorist watch list? After all, being a member of the Organic Consumer's Union and subscribing to such sites as Citizen Media Law Project, the Center for Public Integrity and the Legal Threats Blog might qualify me as a subversive in some people's eyes.

I have also been quite outspoken here. I suppose if a "crawler" like Carnivore picked up on some of my posts I could be considered a Very Bad Person.

Sheesh. This country is going to hell in a handbasket.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
