Earth Day 2011

Here it is Earth Day again.

Google has a cool little interactive logo today.

Mouseover makes it do stuff! Check it out!

I wanted to go out and plant some stuff in the yard, but it's too cold, and rained on and off.

I did, however, pick up some garbage that was blowin around - so I guess that's something.

I also decided against the Buick - too much work needed for the money.
Looked at a Toyota Tercel as well, it was even worse, and they wanted $3k for it - it was like an empty tuna can, with odd damage and they didn't have much/any first-hand knowledge of its history. The rearview mirror had markings, as well as the interior of the roof - like it had been in water maybe? Yikes. No thanks.

I'll keep looking.
I'm just glad it's spring, and that I am able to bus, walk or bike for the most part. All good for me and the earth. I won't need a car until the Cake concert - or Home Grown - as that gets out too late for the bus. I'll just borrow a car then; I've had some good friends offer - pretty nice of them.

When I took the Buick to Jimmy's, I also stopped and cleaned out all my stuff from the Beast. Bummed me out some. I really liked driving that car, just too much of it was falling apart to keep paying on it.

I reckon I could probably go without a car for quite some time, maybe even for good. Sell this house, move, and then maybe, maybe buy one then, something new-ish and perhaps a hybrid. I've never owned a brand new car, nor have I ever cared. I mainly only use one for larger grocery runs (when I stock up on heavy stuff like juice/liquids), or to go to the cities a few times a year.

In the meantime, I rode the bus today, and walked too.

A small contribution to Earth Day, but a contribution none-the-less.


While waitng for the bus, I noticed yet another new business had gone into/taken over where the craft place was.

Campus Fuze

Another one of those Fusion drink places?
We'll See.
Ever since the Baseball card place went out of biz years ago, everything else to try that spot has gone out of biz in months to just a year or two. One of those jinxed places I'm guessing.

Time will tell.

Anyway, this gave me a craving for pizza - so I 'made' one - doctoring up an Italian Melt - basically garlic-based cheese with spinach and mushroom, adding other toppings - lotsa veggies. YUM!

Just add a tasty ice-cold beverage!
