Daily Mantra:
“It doesn’t matter if the water is cold or warm if you are going to wade through it anyway.”
{teilhard.de.chardin}
Alright…so I don’t think that global warming is really a lie, but the serious lack of the whole “warming” part of global warming is making me start to wonder. Half consciously sipping my morning coffee {life-blood} I hear the overly perky morning news caster on CNN discussing the inevitable death of our planet as it relates to this “warming” situation. While I feel awful for her that she is broadcasting on a beautiful beach in Florida, her brown from tan tootsies squishing down into the sand {not feeling bad for her really…feeling like a shark should come and bite off the big toe on her left foot is more accurate}, I think she should seriously take off her sun hat long enough to drive up the eastern seaboard and look around. Guaranteed whatever “warming” she is talking about is surely not effecting the Pine Tree State {aka…Maine…aka…Popsicle of the World}.
In high school, I enthusiastically joined the recycling team. {dork} When my girlfriends were casually throwing away their zip-lock baggies after lunch, I was taking mine home to rewash and reuse the next day. I said “no” to bottled water long before it was the “in” thing to do, and I dug through school trash with long rubber gloves to sort out cans and cardboard. {Gross…I know, but I was stubborn if nothing else}. Let it be known that I owned a ridiculous amount of “save the world” t-shirts. Friends…I love our earth…I do, but is it too much to ask of her to send just a little bit of that “global warming” here? I think not. Done whining. Moving on.
