If one has talent it pushes for utterance and torments one; it will out....There is nothing in this thing of learning out of books. Here, here and here [the ear, the head, the heart] is your school. If everything is right there, then take your pen and down with it; afterwards ask the opinion of a man who knows his business.

It is almost always possible to present an intellectually honest and engaging account of any field, using a minimum of technical apparatus. This is seldom done, however, since most priesthoods are inclined to hide behind a wall of mystery and to commune only with their fellow priests.

#Composting program to provide #Everglades with soil for #CommunityGarden
by Martin Vassolo, March 12, 2025
"Your #FoodScraps could be used to help support the Everglades through a new partnership between the village of #PinecrestFL and the #MiccosukeeTribe.
"Instead of dumping #FoodWaste into crowded #landfills, which produce #methane emissions, the #EvergladesEarthCycleProject will expand Pinecrest's residential composting program and deliver nutrient-rich soil to the #Miccosukee Tribe.
"Driving the news: The project, funded with a $400,000 federal grant and other contributions, calls for installing four new #CompostingBins in Pinecrest and three around #MiamiDade County District 7.
"The initial phase of the program will supply compost to the #SwampyMeadows #CommunityGarden, which grows vegetables just outside the Miccosukee Indian School.
"Another proposal that's been floated is adding new soil to the Everglades' tree islands, though that would need tribal approval, says the Rev. Houston R. Cypress of the #LoveTheEverglades Movement, a partner in the program.
"Cypress told reporters on an airboat ride through the Everglades last week that the tribe teaches 'the essence of being in harmony with nature is giving back to it.'
"'With the Everglades Earth Cycle Project, we're giving back clean and healthy soil; we're giving products that might eventually improve the water quality out here, but we're also giving directly back to local indigenous communities here,' he said.
"Pinecrest already has two free public composting bins, one at the Pinecrest Public Library and another between the Community Center and Pinecrest Gardens."

I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

No young man should go into politics if he wants to get rich or if he expects an adequate reward for his services. An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.

#Florida's #WildlifeCorridor Is Turning Five!
#LiveWildly Celebrates with a New Interactive Map Showing How Greater Conservation Inside the Corridor Can Bring Billions in Benefits
Press Release • Jul 1, 2026
Nearly half-a-million acres of the Corridor's lands and waters have been protected since 2021 - but much more is needed
Excerpt: " 'The story of the Wildlife Corridor is still being written,' said Meredith Budd, Deputy Director of the Live Wildly Foundation. 'In just five years, the impact of the Corridor is already being felt by communities across Florida. But much more can - and must - be done to ensure future generations will continue to benefit from the Corridor's vibrant lands, waters and #wildlife.'
"More than 8 million acres of 'opportunity areas' - healthy lands and waters threatened by #fragmentation and #UnsustainableDevelopment - lie within the #WildlifeCorridor. Through the interactive map, users can identify opportunity areas such as:
- More than 2 million acres of land that recharge aquifers that store and filter water
- Some 3.4 million acres of floodplains that absorb and slow the spread of flood waters, helping shield communities for disasters
- 5 million acres of lakes, rivers and other surface water areas that support communities, wildlife, recreation and businesses
- More than 5 million acres of farms, ranchlands, timberlands and other working lands.
"Florida's Wildlife Corridor is a network of connected lands and waters that spans 18 million acres from the #Panhandle to the #Everglades. It supports 114,000 jobs and generates $30 billion in annual revenue through recreation, tourism, agriculture, forestry, and other industries. The Corridor also is home to nearly half of Florida's species - including #manatees, #GopherTortoise, #BurrowingOwl, and the #FloridaPanther."
