It's both odd and ironic.
Two years ago when I was down at my friend's place, Wayne and I were talking about lawn care. I had asked him what he used for weed control around his trees and shrubs and he told me 42D.
I was familiar with it because it's the active ingredient in Roundup Weed Killer that there was a large lawsuit over. So this was the conversation:
Me: Doesn't that stuff cause cancer?
Wayne: I don't know. I don't think so though, because when I was first getting started in forestry after college, I practically bathed in the stuff.
Me: Say what?!
Wayne: Yeah. We would routinely have to go out and lay out flags for the crop dusters to come through to spray the weeds encroaching on small tree farms. We'd use GPS to set up the flags, then radio the plane and they were supposed to give us a few minutes to clear out but they never did. They'd come right in and spray and we'd get showered in that shit. But nothing ever happened all these years later.
Two years later, he was diagnosed with ALS.

Electric ukulele. I've always thought they're completely worthless and typically played by douchebags. If you want to play a Stratocaster (which is what he's doing - using Protunes or an Eventide to process his single into the profile of a Stratocaster), buy a Stratocaster. If you want to play a ukulele, buy a REAL ukulele.
