blankets and dead animals

Today I learned that if all your kapok mattresses, cot-size or otherwise, got contaminated when you had an extremely toxic houseguest, you can absolutely sleep on a pile of blankets on top of bare mattress springs. The thing is that you need a lot of blankets not so much for the padding, but for the insulation. It got chilly, but those eight little organic cotton blankets I bought 2 1/2 years ago and finally just barely tolerate are at long last being used for something other than just dust covers.

In things that'll kill you, some conventional beef company is recalling 143 million pounds of beef that has probably already been eaten, so, um, beef! Beef will kill you! As will the revived Knight Rider.
