Fire on Vernon Place!
It looks like nobody got hurt, except a firefighter who looked like he was being treated for smoke inhalation. He seemed like he'd be OK, from my remote vantage point, of course.
This is the second house to burn down on our block this year. It's nuts. I don't know what started it. I saw the people who lived there, and it looked like they had been called down from work. So it seems like the house was empty at the time of the fire, although there was another guy there who kept saying that he had just stepped out for a minute. What does that mean?
Off to put up a new smoke detector...

Chinese Transgenic Future Farms
Anyway, the future of food is now:
Friday afternoon we visited a very large corporate village that is financed in part by the Beijing government. This is for Agri- and non-Agri-business activities alike. I toured hydroponics facilities growing lettuce for McDonald's. Each room was twice the length of a football field and about as wide. Cabbage plants were stuffed into a piece of styrofoam with holes in it. The roots from each plant was stuck down into a water solution containing all the nutrienets. It sprouts about 1,000 little cabbages on a piece of foam the size of a computer monitor face.
Then it was off to view all the animal breeding centers: Simental, Black Angus, etc., bulls and cows. Really big ones weighing more than one ton each. Then we saw the Transgenic ones: these are produced by manipulating genetic materials of two different strains. Then we saw the clones: These are produced from say a Holstein cow where you take a skin cell and dissect out the genetic material and replace it with genetic material from another cell, perhaps from the same animal or could even be from a separate animal, and the genetics might even have a special gene in it for some human trait such as the ability to produce human serum albumin.
