Hey, readers. As you're aware, I've been in transit. I'm not in a permanent location, but I am where I'll be for a little longer, and I'm observing something about food.

What do Incarceration and Antibiotics have in common?
In America, at least, both are historically overprescribed, and changes in regimen are overdue.

Stuff in my head: Can one grow a [Ceratonia siliqua] tree indoors on a dwarfing rootstock in USDA Zones 6-8 and get fruit? Is it hard to process carob beans?

Well, it's been an interesting stay at Blessington.
Today, whatever day it is, it appears that I left on a transport to go somewhere else.

It's breakfast time.
What day of the week is it again?
The days carry on the same way each day, unless someone gets into a fight, goes to prison jail, gets shipped, goes home, or there's a death on the compound.

Hey, real world?
Are there zucchini crisps/chips out there? As an alternative to potato? Are they healthier per serving? Are they expensive? Easy to make yourself? Come in flavours?

Have you ever hallucinated that you were hallucinating?
That's me on a very exhausted Saturday morning.
Power's out because of Isaias; we're on generators, and Wi-Fi is on to keep tablets unlocked.

If there were a way for a prisoner to elect to receive an enhanced medical formulary with a broader scope of meds, that would be amazing. But that causes stratification: have-meds v. haven't-meds. Guess prisons just need a better formulary? #abolishprisons

Two years ago Securus offered inmates free "eMessaging stamps" to contact loved ones in the event of a major weather event. Jump-cut to right now, and the radio silence, combined with the loss of the weekly free phone call is telling.

I'm in our Horticulture course here at Blessington, and there is a LOT of book work that we get to do. I've reached one of the later units in the class, and we are tasked with *drafting a résumé* as part of the work assignment.

I'm anticipating a move, a road trip from Blessington to elsewhere in the coming month. Like most prisoners, I will be expected to carry all my own stuff...

This one's short, by sole virtue of my muse being stomped upon by Securus' JP6s tablet (may the newer EVOTAB arrive before July 2028).

Speaking to a few residents who have been here at this camp for longer than I have, they explained that we who may be passing through once had access to microwaves in the dorm wings.
However, the microwaves were being replaced almost daily for some reason.

Some weeks ago, during my tiny prison sangha's Buddhist Study time on a Friday, I brought up a thought that had been making my mind *itch*.
Our goal, at least in some Buddhist traditions, is to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings, correct?

I've learned that depending on what criminal offense one has committed and served time for, one cannot visit many other countries around the world.
Punishments should fit the crime. I don't think this one does, by a long shot, for many people in America.
