Original CSI Key lyric: "Who are you? Who who, who who? I really want to know."
This lyric sums up what the CSI is all about. Being concise was important because this was the very first CSI and people didn't know what a CSI show was all about.
CSI New York Key lyric: "Out here on the street..."
Unlike most places, New York City has streets. This is what distinguishes CSI New York from Original CSI. Original CSI is set in Las Vegas. There are no streets in Las Vegas. There is, however, a scale model of New York built as a casino. The cast of CSI New York have not appeared in a crossover episode on Original CSI where they solve a crime at the New York -themed casino. This is a tremendous missed opportunity.
CSI Miami Key lyric: "Won't get fooled again!"
CSI Miami is the 'loser' of the CSI franchise (yet, oddly, the most entertaining). The show is a toxic stew of half-assed writing, bad acting and mangled facelifts. The other CSI themes are confident; the CSI Miami theme says, "We're idiots and our show bites, but we won't get fooled again!" Speaking of crossovers, the Second Life episode would have been more appropriate on CSI Miami.
Amber has been co-hosting Fulvio, an organic grower from Michoacán and Amato, a restaurant owner from Oaxaca. They're here as part of a knowledge exchange to see what's happening with sustainable agriculture in Ontario. I've been the driver.
This afternoon we visited with Jamie Kennedy and heard about how he's exploring local agriculture.
Fulvio describes the garlic-like qualities of a native plant species previously referred to as a "weed" as Amber & Amato look on.
Beer ... in a field.
Afterwards, we drove over to meet this vegetable grower who doesn't use chemicals or pesticides. You can find him at the farmer's market in the Distillery in the summer. He grows a wide variety of veggies and harvests wild fruit.
We rode around in the back of a pick-up at the ranch.
Back on Monday, we visited the YU Ranch where Bryan Gilvesy raises grass-fed Texas Longhorn Cattle using a variety of sustainable practices.
Do you like my ... long horns?
I'm sure you will hear more about it from Amber ... after all, I'm just the driver!
Here's the reality of corn ethanol. Above is an actual local field where hundreds of trees have been stripped away to make room to grow corn for ethanol ... because it's "good for the environment".
I was at the grocery store this evening and the rice shelves were completely cleaned out ... which is weird, because there were lots of boxes of Rice Crispies.
