EARTH DAY

[Opsa]

Earth Day is this Sunday!

I have organized a kids' cleaning crew to pick up litter.

Have any other Toadfish made Earth Day plans?

[Aggie]

Yes - we are planning to go for a hike! (I like the idea of picking up litter - will remember to bring a bag).

But it's looking like it might be a snowshoe....

We're cleaning the vacant lot next door, and then I get to humiliate and intimidate the nasty brats that had a drinking party behind my barn and set a 'stack of wood' on fire.

THEY will be pulling weeds and cutting out vines in the alleyway/utility right-of-way on our street, in lieu of my pressing charges for their stupidly burning up $200 worth of mahogany and several pieces of ebony I had up on sawhorses and covered with tarps and plastic.

Yes, my house was vacant for 4 years, but, we've been here 2.5 and you think they'd learn.

So much for the first woodworking projects I had lined up for when the shop was set. We were trying to clear and reorganize all the tons of stuff in the barn so we could patch the roof and move the wood back in.

I've developed a deep seated disdain for ignorant people. Again...

[Opsa]

Forgive them, for they know not their arse from a hole in the ground.

Speaking of holes in the ground, I'll be planting some plants tomorrow as well, to celebrate Earth Day.

The UALR anthropolgy club will be holding a bake sale(actually on Tuesday) and we will be giving away energy saving compact Florescent bulbs with directions on recycling them. The money from the bake sale will most likely go to some reforestation effort some where- last year it was to Borneo for the rainforest- we raised enough to replant an entire acre.

I'll be gardening after work.
Been going around the department and turning lights off and sutting down computers this morning ( need to do this everyday).
Yes, I will be hugging the "gumball" tree in my front yard!

Love and Hugs to all my fellow "Earthlings" today and everyday

I was in a park cleanup thing on Friday.

On Sunday, my original aim was to get to my in-laws' house (where we were going for dinner) without using the car.

Unfortunately, we ran a bit late, so we had to drive to my wife's church, but we went on from there on transit/bike... about half the distance, anyhow.  It worked well as a proof-of-concept, even though my bum was a bit sore the next day after ~40 km of biking.  I need a better bike seat, I suppose.

Helping the environment and getting buns of steel- what more could you want?
