AI--is it safe to eat pre-washed salad greens?
Did you mean: is it safe to eat packaged salad greens without washing them
Whether the greens are boxed or bagged, or are salads or microgreens, there are no scenarios when pre-washed produce should be washed, says Baker. You may be tempted to give it a rinse if the packaging is torn, but in this case, it should be thrown out rather than being washed and consumed.Feb 15, 2024

Copied and pasted from Axios--ICE USD 2 B in debt.
The agency charged with carrying out President Trump's mass deportation promises has warned Congress it is short a whopping $2 billion for this fiscal year, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) repeatedly has faced significant budget shortfalls in recent years. Trump's immigration plans — which include deporting "millions" of unauthorized immigrants — would rack up costs even more.
Congress would send ICE an extra $500 million in the stop-gap spending bill that passed the House and is being debated in the Senate.
But that wouldn't come close to covering the nearly $2 billion the agency told Congress it needs just to keep up the work it's doing through the end of September, two sources familiar with the communications told Axios.
Add to that the expense of fully implementing Trump's plans —which will include hiring hundreds of people, more than doubling ICE detention space to 100,000 beds and adding many more planes for deportation flights.
Zoom in: Not all of that is addressed in the bill now before Congress, which means the additional money ICE says it needs is unlikely to land anytime soon.
The Department of Homeland Security may have to pull money from its other agencies — such as FEMA or the Coast Guard — and direct it to ICE.
A report from the Government Accountability Office on budgets from 2014 to 2023 found that ICE regularly overspent and had to grab funds from other agencies within DHS to cover its costs.

We are in mourning for Melissa Horton and Mark Horton--still rattled by LA events--LA still under curfew.
No Kings rallies renamed June 14th President Obama appreciation day--so here are Democrats--thus starving His Orange TACO out of oxygen.
Knowing how he loves publicity.
Around 2-3 AM--Sat. June 14, Democratic Lawmaker Melissa Horton and her husband Mark assassinated in their home in Minnesoto
by a 57 year old man impersonating a police officer.
Came in a police car.
Very sad--this requires a very thorough INVESTIGATION.
State Senator Democrat John Hoffman and his wife shot multiple times in their home 9 miles away--underwent surgery.
Police have identified suspect.
It does't need a Nobel brain to know who probably instigated this.

Himal Fiction Fest Winner--
Special post--The Waters between Us--by Glen Loveland--Himal Fiction Fest-
Beautiful, sad short story--drowned cities and an archivist--a girl from the water communities.

The Waters Between Us: Himal Fiction Fest 2025
Glen Loveland
This story is part of the Himal Fiction Fest 2025, a showcase of original Southasian speculative fiction. In the...
Note--the title does not say"The Waters under Us" but Between Us. All the great cities are gone.
This is like one of Stephen Baxter's novels. Speculative fiction in year 2500, I think, was the theme of the competition.
Myentry did not win--featuring a billionaire woman in a high rise and an angel with detachable wings-- but this is beautiful too. I congratulate Glen Loveland and Himal judges. You can open an acct. and read articles and stories with your password. The Southasia articles including Myanmar, and the videos and podcasts are of very high quality--as this story shows. 6-13-2025
