If you get Netflix, you might want to rent a powerful film called "Manufactured Landscape". An artist/photographer gets access to some industrial sites to do some incredible filming. Compositionally, as artwork, they are superb. But the subject matter sears into your conciousness so you won't be able to think of human material goods in the same finite way we usually comprehend.
I understand the online very short film www.TheStoryofStuff.com (for those of you that have high speed internet) is good too. I haven't seen it yet, but Frank has and says it's good.
On the home front...The ewes can go into labor any day now. I have three looking ready right now. So we are on lamb watch (just when the weather is supposed to get cold here too!) And because of the warmer than normal winter weather so far, the turkeys are already breeding and the chickens are laying eggs like crazy (due to daylight length for them). I guess spring can't be far behind. We moved the turkey's hoop house (which they never used) and set it up in the garden for direct planting of early lettuces, mizuna, arugala, spinach, etc. I'm getting a little tired of eating brassicas, beets, and sweet pototoes. I need some fresh locally grown salad!
