Stucky QOTD: Store It, … Or Toss It?
It’s 4:30 AM. Been up for an hour … can’t sleep.
Well, it’s done. Our new landlord signed the lease. It starts Feb. 15th! Supposedly, we’ll be closing here on March 1st. Yeah, that’s right …. we signed a lease for the new place without this place being officially sold. They keep telling us all the major (financial) underwriting issues are resolved …. all that’s left is very minor paperwork verification. God, I hope I didn’t fuck up. I don’t like the two-week overlap, but what could I do … he had several other very well qualified people who were ready to move in immediately. Plus, he wasn’t too pleased that I wouldn’t allow a credit or background check on me so, I had to re-convince him I wasn’t an ax-murderer or serial masturbator. Mission Accomplished.

Something stinks in North Carolina, and we’re not talking about the Charlotte Hornets. A documentary filmmaker who flew spy drones over North Carolina pig farms claims to have captured video footage showing oceans of untreated animal waste. The unappetizing aerial footage, some of which was posted on YouTube Wednesday, features sprawling panoramic shots of dark brown lagoons oozing into the green Carolina countryside, in some cases close to residential areas, the filmmaker said.
Mark Devries, a documentarian who took on factory farming in the 2013 film “Speciesism: The Movie,” shot the drone footage as part of a two-year investigation into the public-health consequences of waste management on farms operated by Smithfield Foods Inc. — the largest pork producer in the country. In a phone interview Wednesday, Devries said he first became aware of the “toxic cesspools” after speaking with neighbors who live near Smithfield facilities in Eastern North Carolina.
“I was shocked,” Devries said. “Pig manure is fairly similar to human waste, so it would be similar to having a pit of untreated human sewage the size of several football fields out in the open — and in many cases, right in the vicinity of people’s homes.”
