where to get grain seeds
growing grains on a small scale can work very well, and
when I was sold on the idea of growing grains,
I found it very hard to get seeds in a non agriculture area,
so here is where I ended up finding them
bountiful gardens has many grain seeds,
my favorites are mostly on page 2,
I grew one plant of this sorghum and it did very very well
I tend to think sorghum is under used as a home garden grain.
johnnys has a grain section and a field corn section
seeds of change has the hulless oats and some others that are good,
large amounts of good corn seed can be got a few places
http://www.openpollinated.com/
http://cropsusa.com/products.aspx
lots of neat native corn at native seeds/search
they also have a few wheat types
and some sorghum types
and don't forget that Kusa has some amazing and rare seeds

time to wake up
I found this on the web, thought it was worth sharing:
Since Federal Reserve policy directly impacts bracket creep - whereby inflation effects push people into higher and higher tax brackets without any actual increase in their purchasing power - shouldn't the Federal Reserve be subject to direct election on the basis of "No Taxation without Representation"?

rain
it is raining,
I like my warm apartment,
it feels like the calm before the storm,
I guess that i can avoid the storm by not walking out into it
