The dehydrator is out again, had a good clean, and now there are freshly picked chillies on one tray and I thought I'd make my first fermented powder with some greens and herbs I fermented recently.

During the hot desert days, #dehydration & heat stroke have become common, acc/to #aid groups, & nighttime temps, wind & rain are creating conditions ripe for #hypothermia. #Doctors are particularly concerned about those elements for #children, since many have lower body fat than adults & may be #malnourished from their journeys.
The govt had argued that the #children were not yet in #US #custody so it had no obligation to provide services [what now?]
