Farm, Penitentiary and Currency

Just got the first newsletter from our CSA, Roxbury Farm in Duchess County, NY. The first delivery of turnips and radishes was delayed/cancelled two weeks ago due to extreme weather. Now he’s saying that the weather the last week was too wet and then too hot and dry and the woodchucks ate the broccoli.

Money Matters
Apparently, there is talk in some foreign and “underground” press and blogs about a link between Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Khadaffi and a new world reserve currency.

Rumor has it that Strauss-Kahn was going to propose plans for a new reserve currency to compete with or supplant the dollar at the May 26th Deauville talks. The proposal had the backing of many third world countries, including Libya and South Africa, who have been working to unifying the African countries into a trading block with one currency.
