Super toilet unveiled (not gross)
I found this oddly relaxing.
Oh, and fear not! It's all good, clean fun: no poopy stuff of any kind.
Thanks, Chuck!

Extremely Good Badger
We just got a shipment of unscented Badger Balm. I'm scenting some with sandalwood and others with cedar.

How to make tosha (purple stuff)
This is a short video of how I make a special herbal concoction called "tosha" (pronounced DOH - SHUH; Lakota for purple), using ingredients selected by Jerry.
1. It is Jerry's experience that the cedar in tosha will, over time, help you make friends with the cedar trees (juniper, actually) around Austin, thus minimizing or eliminating adverse reactions cumulatively known as "cedar fever."
2. We also use tosha to carry prayers for help, health and well-being or wicozani na wookiye. Just hold in your hand the roots and herbs used in the concoction offering the simple, sincere prayer for help noted above. In this way, these mere botanicals or peji become actual medicine or pejuta. Without the prayers, tosha is just food.
Note: Lakota terms in Italics.
I experimented with proportions until the consistency met with our approval and, in the video, you'll view the final results of this research. A list of ingredients and amounts is shown at the end of the video – but, the attached file (tosha.pdf) is a downloadable version of the recipe which includes calorie counts.

The daily recommended "tosha dosage" is one teaspoon (roughly 25 calories) before breakfast. It's excellent for digestion and other alimentary events. In other words, it can really get things moving.
Best regards,
MJ

If you are remotely interested in health, read this
This New York Times article is really excellent. It honestly pinpoints exactly what nonsensical practices are ailing our health care system (using that word loosely). From preventive care to intelligent use of genetics, a must-read.
The title talks about 'disruptive innovation' but that doesn't really do it justice.

Masturbation can be good for the over-50 guys
A new study came to my attention via Guy Kawasaki. It shows that the removal of toxins built up over a man's lifetime (aka waxin' the cat, squeezin' the wease, etc) can reduce the risk of prostate cancer! Given my previous post, I have now successfully gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Several other illustrations came to mind, but the one above seemed appropriate enough.

Bar towels without the bar
Although me and the missus have been clean and sober for over 35 years, our alcohol-loving fore bearers must be rejoicing in the fact that we use bar towels like they're going out of style. We use them around our kitchen sink--mostly to wipe off our hands or soak up coffee spills.
Show also: our new face cloths as previously noted. They look super ready to clean a face when they're all rolled up like that.
