Happy Earth Day!

[Umbran]

So, today's the day we're supposed to appreciate this prett darned spiffy ball of rock we spin around on all day.

I look out the office window here, and I see a woodchuck. This... means.... something.

Happy Earth Day, folks.

 

[Mystery Man]

Think I'll celebrate and buy an SUV.

I'll celebrate by sleeping through the day - I'm getting pretty tired from being up since 6:30 pm.

You know...

I'd been riding my bicycle to work all year. I finally saved enough money in gasoline to buy a new bike. Yesterday, the bike comes into the shop, and I go pick it up. I spend all afternoon moving my lights and rack and everything over to my new bike. I'm all excited, because tomorrow is Earth Day, and it'd be really neat to make it the inaugural commute for this new bike.

I wake up and it's raining. No bike ride for me.

Hey, that doesn't mean it is going to rain all day! Keep your drapes open and put your blinds up. I have a feeling you're going to be riding your new bike today.

I don't. :\

If I believed every forecast I read/saw I would have spent a good portion of my life praparing for earthquakes and being wet.

Being a bicycle commuter in April around Chicago, rather than, say... Arizona... If I ignored every forecast I read/saw, I would have spent a good portion of my life sitting at work, cold and wet.

The Earth could use a happy day. It's not doing so good lately. :\

I was also referring to the time I was living in California.
