The problem always comes down to people…
We know that burning fossil fuels = global warming. Right?
McCain’s answer to our energy needs is to drill for more oil. Supposing he finds this wealth of oil, what do you think that would equal? More global warming! Right.
Our options are running low. Alternate power sources are great; I have stock in a solar cell company, myself. But how far does that go?
I wondered about this as I sat inside of Taco Bell at lunch today. I was watching everyone eat, even as I ate, and I wondered if perhaps we’re all in denial or something. I mean, here we are, living far beyond our means. We’re killing off our oceans, drying out our forests, squeezing every ounce of goodness from the land, even as we make more and more people.
When will we start taking responsibility for ourselves? When will we finally grow up? Or do we kill ourselves before we get that far?

Stinking while you work…
Yes, another post about biking to work. What can I tell you? You’ll hear more about my puppy and dead father, by and by.
So, I get to work this morning. I shower. I dress. I break my lock… like an idiot… but enough of that. Later, I’m sitting at my desk when people start talking about all the bikes that are stacking up. When I first started riding my bike in, I’d park it inside, in a cubby alongside the only other bike. Now, there are four bikes in that little cubby and it’s getting crowded!
We took a quick inventory of who rides. There are four of us… but two of them can’t understand why we need to bring backpacks and have lockers and… hold on… They don’t shower.
They ride to work (four miles and 10 miles) and don’t shower, don’t change; they just work in their sweaty clothes.
Now, listen, I’m not stickler for hygiene. Hell, I’ve spent many a drunken weekend in the same clothes until I can appreciate my own, natural perfume – but hey! After riding 10 miles, you should really consider bathing!
And I don’t know what was worse. The fact that they don’t or the amount of people in the conversation who suggested I didn’t need to…

With the fishies...
I saw one of those great "10 Things You Can Do To Help Save Your Own Fucking Hide Before You Destroy The World With Your Fucking Plastic Shopping Bags" lists today and I was going to post it... Sadly, it's main crux was joining some group.
Being a joiner never saved anyone.
But this may. I thought it might be nice to help you out with an updated list on what seafood is good to eat, both for you and for the environment.
We can't eat everything, folks. No, seriously. We can't. Cut it the fuck out.
