Sorghum

My 6 year old friend showing me how to make coffee....even though I already know how I still let her show me!

The other day I was talking with a veterinarian about supplemental feeding of goats (I know, crazy) and he said something about the price of sorghum skyrocketing in the past week. I asked why and he told me that the Sandbox has started exporting sorghum because of the world food shortage. He said, and I quote 'there are people all over the world who are starving. How can we not share our blessings with them?'

Sure, I can see the logic behind that...when people aren't starving in your own country! I'm fairly certain that if a list was made of the top ten countries most anticipated to be affected by the world food shortage the Sandbox would be on that list and yet here we are so generously exporting our sorghum. I can only imagine they are charging an exorbitant price since it is 'so scarce'.

Then my friend boasted about how the Sandbox sent so many tons of food to help the cyclone victims in Myanmar. I'm sure that the World Food Program was really excited to hear about that since the Sandbox is currently the Number 1 recipient of food aid!!! I feel like someone could have saved a lot on shipping costs if they had just communicated the logistics of who was going to feed which group of starving people.

Sort of like the logs...you know, when you see two logging trucks passing each other going different directions on the highway and you wonder why, if they already had logs over there, that they needed more and vice versa? A little Brian Regan there for ya.

Today I have exactly 2 more months before I leave the Sandbox...strange!
