Going Green: Or maybe this should be titled Irony . Does anyone else think it is a tad ironic that those new curly bulbs that are supposed to help the environment by using less electricity, are always packaged in those evil hard molded plastic packs that aren’t even recyclable? What’s wrong with the cushy cardboard that regular bulbs come in?
The world at large: And in the same “Going Green” theme, I saw a segment about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Today Show this morning, and also a bit posted on Gwenda Bond’s Shaken & Stirred blog. The main mission of the project is conservation. Very cool. Literally.
And my world at small: The steady amount of rain this year means spring has come early to So Cal. But because of the rain, the gardener couldn’t come last time. You should see my lawn. It is a lush green forest. Now since ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) professornana already brought up the subject of poop this morning, I will just lay it out. Gardeners may not come because of rain but dogs just keep right on pooping, and since I am the designated Pooper Scooper, it has become an “interesting” task. I know, you don’t want to hear more, but you will. With two large dogs it is a verifiable mine field out there. Those little nuggets are like bombs in hiding, waiting for me to step on them before I can scoop them.
I appreciate the rain, but please, I am tired of feeling like Senor Caca doing a hat dance. Please no rain on Friday! The gardener comes to rescue me! |
