Didn’t mean to single out Lowes. Hazardous stuff is available at many retail outlets (not the least of which includes solvents).

About 5 years ago I was asked to present a reaction to a showing of a video about this book and the author. As I visited two local libraries to locate a copy and spoke with young library employees about the book, I wasn’t surprised if they hadn’t read it; I was surprised that they gave no indication of even recognizing the title or author. The book is now somewhat outdated as a source of information about pesticides. Those products are much safer and less persistent in the environment today thanks largely to Rachel Carson’s work. But consumers should still be aware that products available at Lowes may be among the most hazardous.

Comment on Root Beer With a Striking Level of Detail by Alcooke

Perhaps you’re just not old enough to remember Hires root beer. Just another brand name, like A&W. Just sodey pop. Since 1876 and you can still purchase “extract.” But it’s better out of the cooler in a dark country store.

Help!!!

This sounds great. But with the app downloaded, it doesn’t give me the option to create a new account. I tried my library acct# and last 4 for password but no luck. How can I create an account?

Thanks, alcooke
