I hate forums, but this needs one. blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/04...

I hate forums. I need one anyway.

Come argue with me about rivers, aquaponics, realcycling, politics, veterans, or any typo I make.

Just not on my front yard.

Does anyone who followed my podcast DIY Food Supply way back in the day have copies of it? I cannot find mine and apparently not everything on the internet stays there. Maybe apple downloaders still have it?

Started as a conversation about a Mexican grocery store. Ended with the whole room laughing at themselves.

No pretty sunrise today.
Spring or not, sometimes days start out grey.
Push through anyway.

I gave up on teaching people to change behaviors...I am going for getting them to pay for the clean up now. hahahh

It started with a redfish. It turned into an 18-document open-source engineering framework for cleaning rivers.

The Cernunnos Foundation exists for one reason — to prove this system works.

Here's the full story. www.cernunnosfoundation.com/uncategorize... #aquaponics

Aquaponics was built by tinkerers.

We need that again.

Filthy water is everywhere. The theory says you can clean it, harvest what you pull out, and turn it into something useful.

Prove it. Document it. Share it.

Prove the Fix- RRP blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/04... #aquaponics

We published 18 open-source documents on cleaning rivers. People asked hard questions. We answered all 12 — including where our own language was too strong and where we don't have data yet. Honest questions deserve honest answers. blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/04...

Lake Eries Green Slick grows millions of tons of algae every summer. We pay to suppress it. It comes back. Same cities that used to turn raw materials into industry are sitting right there on the shore. The bloom isn't a crisis. It's a feedstock. blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/04... #water

Stop fighting the nutrient cycle. Start directing it. Your landscaper becomes the operator of a small biological production system instead of the guy who loses the same fight every July. blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/04... #ponds #hoa

Power is the oldest thing there is.

The republic was built by men who knew that — and tried something harder.

They called it law.
Grammina called it the fence that saves the garden.

If it can’t sit in a cell, it’s not accountable.
If it’s not accountable, it’s not a person.
Everything else is a tool.

We’ve engineered thermal variability almost entirely out of modern life.

What if that matters for vascular health?

A new open inquiry from Bright Meadow Group — not a claim, not a cure. Just a question worth asking.

The Italians called it fiore di morte — flower of death. Rousseau wrote about stumbling across it and being overwhelmed with joy.

Both reactions seem correct.

The world's fertilizer supply is trapped behind a war zone. Planting season is now.

This is what the backup plan looks like. Use it.

Upstream: filthy. Downstream: clean.

If your Congressman chairs Energy & Commerce in the majority and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the President, you’d expect a coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar, and manufacturing district to be booming with opportunity.

So why isn’t it?

Ask @RepJohnJoyce

Has anyone seen @RepJohnJoyce ? The 13th Congressional District of Pennsylvania could really use a Congressman representing them instead of Mar A Lago.
