There are probably many others that are doing it on their minifarms. So they definitely appreciate a little tone in parts other than their cerebrum. Maybe your prof was just jealous ;) No, I'm sure it was more classist than any real comment on brains required. It is also an out of date statement.Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-69609328835024577932011-01-24T19:40:13.587-08:002011-01-24T19:40:13.587-08:00Congratulations on making the right choice.

The process is one of observation, adjustment, and problem solving. <br /><br />I think our society is too familiar with equating success with obtaining fame or financial renumeration. WE could seriously take a lesson from many other cultures (and religions) that celebrate the true bliss and inner peace that can be found by going with the flow of the universe we are in - and just "being" as a productive part of that life energy. I catch glimpses of that divine "living in the now" realm most often when in the garden. Just saying.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-15051233802149268842011-01-19T10:34:05.336-08:002011-01-19T10:34:05.336-08:00Low paid?

Or at least agricultural research. I totally understand what you are saying about academics and their conceptions of self-importance. For what it's worth, I think you can be confident in the fact that being a farmer probably has way more impact on the daily lives of average people than most academics can ever hope for.Lou Altamurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521563563874068921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-60728583455755387692011-01-19T00:59:15.560-08:002011-01-19T00:59:15.560-08:00Amazing how many people don't realise that clo...Amazing how many people don't realise that close involvement with the cycle of nature is never boring! I think there's a wider view in Wales, where I come from and where many farmers are poets too, and here in France where people who are aware of what is going on in the world around them in all senses are proud to call themselves peasants.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.com
