I am unclear about the peanut butter thing: the shipment in question was flagged because it contained "filthy, putrid or decomposed substance" later identified as metal fragments. Is that in addition to salmonella, or did that cause salmonella? And if it did, how does metal cause salmonella? It seems like the descriptions would refer to a biological substance, not metal. Can someone clarify?

In a startling revelation on Saturday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution said the president of Peanut Corp., Stewart Parnell, serves on an industry advisory board that helps the U.S. Department of Agriculture set quality standards for peanuts.


are you startled? I am not startled. I am the opposite of startled.

Dear people whom I know,

I need a new Holga camera. I was planning on getting one when I was in NYC over the holidays, but I didn't get around to it. In Europe they cost more than twice as much as they do in the US, so I don't want to buy it here. But I would really like to have it for my trip to Venice, where I will go on the 21st of February. Is there anyone who would be willing to send me a Holga camera some time early next week, if I bought it online and had it mailed to you? They are super-light, so it wouldn't cost much to send, and I'd paypal you postage costs. I would be super-grateful!
