Road Rage
So there was an article in today's local paper about the ridiculous price of gas, and how people are driving around like crazy in order to save a few cents per gallon. There were several people who wrote in saying that the city should work to make more bike paths available for those who chose to use bikes as an alternate method of transportation ( Read more... ) -

Earth Day
Happy Earth Day. It's something that's so important in these days of us finally realizing that we are ruining the planet. Of course scientists have been screaming about this for decades, but now that things are more dire, finally people are listening.
If you haven't done so, start recycling. It's a simple, grass roots way to pitch in. You will ( Read more... ) -
The Darkening World
It's depressing to read the paper or look at the news on the net. Gas prices are soaring beyond belief. I was 3/4 of a tank down last week, and it cost almost $50 to fill up. The cost of groceries has made a once enjoyable time at the grocery store a stressful experience. The gas concerns are driving up the cost of everything. People can't ( Read more... ) -
Socially sad..
I attended a wake for a close relative recently. I am amazed how socially crippled I've become. I realized it was getting bad, but I can barely carry on a conversation with people. I'm fine with close friends, but in instances where the person I am talking to is not well known to me, there are just lots of silent pauses.
I had no idea that my ( Read more... ) -
Belief
A very warm day today broke up the horrid winter that just is grinding us down. I've been thinking lately about the Craft store that used to be in our community. It was around for ages before I became, well, whatever I am. Oddly, when I think of that place, I smell what it used to smell like.
Speaking of what I am, that is weird too. I tried ( Read more... ) -
Britney's woes
Isn't it interesting that since Britney Spears was admitted to the hospital yesterday, that rag TMZ.com has come to an almost complete standstill? I realize that these celebrities create most of their own problems, but I can't help believing that having those hordes of bloodsucking paps right in her face had to contribute to the girl's mental ( Read more... ) -

Fright Fest!!
Oh joyous Halloween time! Just spinning around the vast cable dial today, I've noticed a proliferation of horror movies. In fact I just watched a documentary about slasher movies from the 1980's. Turner Classic Movies has devoted Friday nights to classic horror, and they always ramp it up towards the 31st. American Movie Classics used to ( ( Read more... ) -
Empowerment of Autumn
It's interesting how much more active I've become with the onset of Fall. As I get older, I tolerate the bitterly cold weather less and less every year, and find myself pining for summer in Jan, Feb & March. However, as weather patterns change, probably through global warming, it seems that our summer are getting incredibly hotter, and I find ( Read more... )
