A TROUBLING STORY
Without too much fanfare a reputable source tells us that children are arriving at puberty at a much younger age, about 9 or ten years old. Not too any years ago this happened at 12 or 14 or even older in some cases. What do you suppose has caused this ?
Many possibilities present themselves. For example, can we blame early exposure to salacious material at an early age ? We can blame TV for that. Maybe early sex education in school can contribute. The same reputable source says that 10% of children in the sixth grade have engaged in sexual activity. Does this not bother you ? It does me.
Has something changed in our eating habits ? Are the numerous inoculations having unintended consequences ? How about the fluoride in our water supply. We are constantly exposed to radio magnetic energy. Hmmm---
Our reputable source fails to tell us if this is a world wide phenomena or is it just us. Maybe it is only in the industrial world.
Can this be a cause of the pervasive promiscuity or perhaps the rising prevalence of homosexualiy ? With no evidence to prove it, I suspect it may be a contributing factor

ALL ABOUT FLIES
I feel certain that you are all interested in flies which I mentioned briefly in a previous blog. I made them sound better than they actually are with their great eyesight and lightening like reflexes. Each eye has about 4000 lenses and they pretty much see about 360 degrees at all times.
It is hard to believe that there are over 30,000 species of flies. The most common one is the ordinary house fly, the one that plagues us all summer long. We kill them if we can but they keep coming. The female, so we are told lays thousands of eggs in her brief two week life span. Her little wings beat at about 200 times per second. She, and her male counterpart defecate about every five minutes. They like to eat mostly disgusting things and then land on us or our food with their disgusting, sticky little feet. Thus they are great carriers of infections and and illnesses.
For the determined fly killer, it is important to know that they take off backwards. Knowing this,we should strike from the rear, using a fly swatter. Newspapers and such are much less effective. We have on order an electronic swatter which electrocutes all types of flying bugs on contact. I can hardly wait to try it out.
P. S. Our fly swatter just arrived. We have loaded it with 2 AAA batteries. Alas, the fly season is over and suddenly, they are gone.
