I can hear the firecrackers popping as I make my way north to Seattle for the raw milk symposium sponsored by the American Veterinarian Medical Association.
It appears that some speakers are worried that their talk will be the most controversial. Most of us prefer not to have that designation. I spoke to another speaker today who said, "You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun one other person in the group."
With that advice in mind, I packed flat-soled shoes. I should have looked for something in camouflage as well. Bill Marler on the Marler Blog and David Gumpert on The Complete Patient have posted a bit about the meeting.
Raw milk politics is strangely and somewhat absurdly, highly contentious.
The giveaway
Congratulations to my new Facebook friend Teresa Stone who has won the triple fun pack of Omega 3 oil, B complex vitamins, and easily absorbed magnesium. Teresa should contact me sometime in the next week and I will get her package to her. Facebook would be a good place to do that or simply here in the comment. Leave your U.S. mailing address and I'll remove it before posting the comment.
Speech Teresa?
Previous winner Terri Mac will be getting desiccated liver tablets to help her through her dissertation. I sure wish I had them back then.

I can't wait to hear about the raw milk symposium. I finally gave up here in Maryland and bought my own Jersey heifers! Hey, I'll never run out of milk....the faucet will always run with lots of ice cream, cheese, butter and whatever else I can dream up! I think my new mantra will be "may your udders always be full!"
Have a great trip!

No bloodshed, no broken bones. It was a good meeting. I learned a lot about raw milk.
