I now resume my fishing expedition. Got interrupted last week by all kinds of crap — but now back to meat.

(Seriously. Am hoping no one and nothing trips my rant trigger and that I lay low so I can focus on research and writing.) (*1)

I’ve been wading through several thousand pages of testimony/evidence/etc. from a 1918 Federal Trade Commission investigation into the affairs of what were then the major meat-packing companies.  (Yes, that’s thousands of pages. Sigh.)

But hey, it’s all good. The new book moves forward.

*1: Which, heh, I could manage if I stop reading newspapers, magazines, blogs, twitter, etc. Isolation. I need to become a serious isolationist.
