Fungus Among Us


Last year the tree outside our back porch developed this odd growth that we assumed to be a fungus. Well, it looks like it has re-emerged this year, and it's as odd-looking as ever. It has this spongy, somewhat solid texture, and last year it got quite large. I don't know if it's deadly to the tree or not, but I'l certainly keep an eye on it. Gross.

Looks like we'll be voting on the contract this Friday. The opposition to this deal has been pretty widespread, and it looks as if our plant is one of the keys to getting it voted down. If that is the case, there's no doubt it won't be ratified. Over 20% of our workforce is "temporary," and we all get to vote. I'll keep you all informed.
