Weeds are creeping

If I was gung-ho, I’d get out the weed-eater. Unfortunately, there’s no gung left in my ho, peeps.

Enough with the bottles of water

Stop Drinking Bottled Water

Stop Drinking Bottled Water

Boycotting bottled water means you support the idea that public access to clean, safe water is not only a basic human right, but that it’s a goddamn technological triumph worth protecting. It means you believe that ensuring public access to this resource is the only way to guarantee it will be around in a few more years.

Clean, safe drinking water that flows freely out of our faucets is a feat of engineering that humans have been been perfecting for two millennia. It is a cornerstone of civilization. It is what our cities are built upon. And over the years the scientists and hydrologists and technicians who help get water to our houses have also become our environmental stewards, our infrastructural watchdogs, our urban visionaries. Drinking the water these people supply to our homes is the best possible way to protect future access to water worldwide.

Companies that package water in a single-use bottle are not concerned with the future. They are not invested in the long-term effects of climate change on an endangered watershed, nor are they working to prepare a megacity for an inevitable natural disaster. What they are interested in is their bottom line: Marketing a “healthy” product to compensate for the fact that people are buying less of their other products that are known to case obesity and diabetes—and selling it for at prices that are 240 to 10,000 times higher than what you pay for tap water.

Drinking municipal tap water means connecting yourself to your local water system, where the goals are to think holistically about the conservation of natural resources, replenish local aquifers, and build a resilient infrastructure to distribute water to the public.

Drinking bottled water means colluding with a corporation which is not required to release any public information about how it plans to cut costs, exploit workers, dig wells, or employ a fossil-fueled supply chain in its quest to get a bottle of overpriced water into your hands.

We drank so much bottled water when we were at Great America last Saturday. $4 for a 16 ounce bottle. They also searched my backpack for weapons and food items before we could enter.

it seems i’ve known from the start that bottled water was a scam. they get it out of the same taps we use. i remember when it was unheard of to “buy” water. it happened gradually, and then exploded. i’ve never been a fan, and have only used it sparingly. it’s nice to know what was just stubborn on my part turns out to be a good idea.

Maggie just ran outside with her bow and arrow. I’m glad she’s still a kid.

that’s my stella with the whale. she’s a fearsome beast. she KILLS EVERYTHING SHE SEES.

tcr! tcr! · May 26, 2015 at 9:28 pm

Her and Pearl would prob be best friends. Unless they were trying to kill the same thing.

ask ELO for examples of stella’s kills. she had a ground squirrel in the house one night and it was an adventure. mr. chip monk was not giving up without a fight. he lost. stella will go on a tear and kill something every night for a week and then not hunt for awhile.
she got a buffalo one night.

Ken Block and his 1965 Mustang

tcr! · May 25, 2015 at 2:50 pm

I’ve always had a thing for Mustangs (I’ve had two) since my dad had his three.

This one is completely insane and the driving is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

And yes, all four of those tires are smoking.
