It costs me as much to get them myself as it does to have them delivered. When that happened a huge truck came to my street, made much noise, used a lift to get a shrink wrapped pallet of 50 buckets down to the ground. When I get home with this, they are in the door within five minutes.
A few minutes away was the West Coast Seeds store where I bought supplies for a seed ball making workshop happening on the weekend. Here’s the view of their front yard:

….until it gets smaller.
I don’t have a television, so I surf the web for news. Firefox came installed with live bookmarks from the BBC and every now and then I read the headlines. Yesterday, I saw this:
BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Curfew for US troops in Okinawa
The order for the curfew - which is indefinite and also applies to troops’ relatives - came from the top US commander in Okinawa, Lt-Gen Richard Zilmer.
“Active duty service members on Okinawa will be limited to their place of duty or employment, worship, education, or medical or dental treatment” as they enter a “period of reflection”, a military statement said.
This affects me directly. The spouse of an American service personnel living in Okinawa is putting a package for me in the mail today. I haven’t heard from them yet to know if it has already been done or delayed.
The joys of international politics and the butterfly effect.

Update: Package mailed and received five days later!

Oanh a lawyer in England via Australia writes about her experiences exploring composting options and finds that bokashi is best solution:
Halfway between Ca Mau and Sai Gon: Compost-ing
So I started reading about Bokashi again. And this time, one year on, many more people have it and have used it, and can attest to it. Since entering the blogging world, I tend to trust bloggers’ reviews of products. I can gauge how similar I am to them, or their process of thinking, by reading happily around their archives and deciding whether or not what they say can apply to me. I tend to search reviews on the internet and specifically on blogs.
…
Initially, I avoided Bokashi Man because, although he’s a blog [sic], he was a seller of the Bokashi bran and plastic buckets. I thought he would be commercial. But eventually, I returned to his site and had a proper read. He is full of useful information, and is not just trying to sell his product. Indeed, he directed a person from New Zealand (we Aussies call them Kiwis, but I think perjoratively, so perhaps I should not) to another site from which they could purchase the product. He’s also a decent read….
Nice.
P.S. There’s a neat pic on Oanh’s blog.

….I made a mistake. I am posting this because I gave the person my name when he asked for it.
Mr. D, I regret the way our conversation went and I accept responsibility for my part in it.
The information I was trying to impart to you is this: You have to contact the organization directly to get the result you want. They won’t listen to me. That is why I said: “I can’t do that.”
We now return you to our regularly scheduled blog, already in progress.
