A chemist walks into the store he owns... and he sees a woman, leaning up against a wall near the counter.

"What's wrong with her?" he asks his assistant.

"She was sneezing and needed allergy medicine, " explains the assistant, "but I couldn't find any, so I sold her a bottle of laxatives instead."

"WHAT?" bellows the chemist. "You can't treat allergies with laxatives!!!"

"Of course you can," replies the assistant, pointing at the woman. "Look at her, she's too scared to sneeze now!"

    Recently completed ecological restoration work has attracted many sandpipers and plovers to a newly created salt marsh. One goal of the restoration was providing a retreat for wildlife from climate crisis driven rising sea levels. Work was completed just in time for this year's El Niño created Kelvin wave raising seasonal king tides to record highs. A recent avian survey in Big Canyon recorded 45 species in a two hour observation period.

    Took newtraditionalists advice about mixing avocado, lemon and curry. Made guacamole with curry powder to top my falafel wrap. Om to the nom. Curry a little hidden but noticeable, will add a little more next time.

    1 large Haas avocado

    1/2 small sweet onion finely diced

    1/2 medium jalapeño finely diced

    1/2 clove garlic finely diced

    Three squeezes of a lemon

    Three shakes salt

    Five shakes curry powder

    Cut avocado and place in bowl, put rest of ingredients on top, mix well, refrigerate 1 hour
