Made in China, Made in America

An article in The Boston Globe puts some good historical perspective on the adulterated and counterfeit products that China has been shipping. Apparently, we’ve been there and done that ourselves. Be sure to read the sidebar article on poisoned medicine. It reminds me of the big story in the news before 9/11/01. A pharmacist in Kansas City was diluting cancer medication.

Purgatory Chasm Charm

Purgatory Chasm, Sutton, MA

Yesterday, we hiked the poor man’s Grand Canyon, Purgatory Chasm in Sutton, Massachusetts. That sure looks like me in that picture, but as far as I know it isn’t. I grabbed it from here. But I own a green cap, gray t-shirt, and green shorts just like those. Weird.

Purgatory Chasm is a fun and free excursion. But be careful! It can be dangerous. Stay on the blue trail and you’ll be through it, and back along the rim, in less than an hour.
