Yes, that's right. Al Gore's documentary about global warming - An Inconvenient Truth - watch it now. Make your friends and family watch it. I don't care what you think about Gore as the should've-been president or anything like that. It's an eye opening look at the science and facts, and the images of the melting polar ice caps and glaciers (Glacier National Park; Switzerland; Greenland)... I mean, you can SEE it. I remember learning about this stuff when I was in elementary school; even then, I worried than in my lifetime that I would see this happen. In fact, I had totally forgotten that I had my own little "environmental club" in 3rd grade or something, I sent away for a kit in the newspaper. Now, it was only my sisters and maybe a couple friends in this "club" and we never did much but plant some little weenie twigs from the Arbor Day Foundation that all died... But it was fun. ;)
I'm hanging out at the Barking Dog Cafe in Lyons waiting for my awesome new Goodrich T/A KO tires to be put on my truck. I got them for a great price (but they're still expensive)... But maybe, just maybe I can make it up the driveway. At least I'm set to drive back to MI.
It snowed again today. Not as much as they thought - originally over a foot, but only got 3 inches maybe - but still, this snow is abnormal here. Actually, here's a good article about how even the Yoopers (residents of Michigan's upper peninsula) are noticing that there just may be something to this global warming thing.
Besides that, just hangin' with my pupper dog, drinkin' at the Rock, and hittin' the gym every day. Fun fun fun! Gosh, I can't wait til April and I can run a chainsaw again!
Sorry you won't be home now in a couple weeks, but getting a job, although temporary, is a good thing. I'll still see you next month! Plus, the puppy will be a tad bit older.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone around here needs to borrow the Inconvenient Truth, I have it. I have not had time to watch it yet, but someone can come over and watch it with me (hint, hint, Tara!!!!!!).
ta ta for now
