How Was Your Earth Day?

It was awesome!

I submitted a little vignette to a competition for our corporate Green Team!   I layed on the cheese about braving carbon-spewing traffic and iceshelf-melting heat, but did not come across as an angry young treehugger, just spoke of how I say goodbye to G then arrive at the office refreshed then ride home and hug G.   I know how these competitions work.   I even included the photo of me in my reflective suit, drunk from a work happy hour.

I left the Prius at home and drove the truck for a questionable oil change ,   to be ready for our road trip to Mexico where there are paint chips in the air and overfishing in the sea.  

Then I drove to Somo to ride my bike.   I cleaned damn near everything climbing up to BV, even the whole Upper Waterfall.   I expended great amounts of power and probably contributed to global warming.   Skidded my tires a lot too.  

And I fixed a mysterious creak in the Heckler by servicing the headset, bathing everything in grease.   The online videos from Cane Creek are quite helpful.

I recycled my beer can.

Wait, I did not have time for a beer.
