I heard about Philadelphia's preposterous blogger tax - what are they trying to do, repress their citizens from voicing themselves? True, many bloggers include advertisements on their websites, but from what I've heard the resulting revenue barely covers the cost of hosting.

Anyway, I found this cool website while reading up on the tax. Its called "Msphillyorganic" and focuses on green living:

MSPHILLYORGANIC

Notice that the blog has no advertisements. This is such a shame.

Who is responsible? From what I've gathered, it is Andrea Mannino.

This picture shows the biggest caterpillar I have ever seen, by far!

I spotted it crawling around in the street so I decided to do my good deed for the day and help the little fellow, er... GIGANTIC CATERPILLAR, make it to greener pastures.

Good luck there caterpillar!

This bug is kind of scary looking, huh?

Would you believe my one year old niece tried to eat one of these alive? Its true! Thankfully my sister grabbed it from her when it started to pinch her lip.

I just saw an interesting web ad requesting that people refrain from transporting firewood. Apparently, there is an invasive beetle that is causing major problems.

Stop the Beetle!

I did some more research and apparently there are lots of invasive beetles and bugs which can cause problems for forests when firewood is moved. Here's another site:

Don't Move Firewood

Here's an incomplete list of invasive beetles:

• Emerald Ash Borer
• Asian Longhorned Beetle

The cherry tomatoes are coming along:
