Earth Day My Eye
Greetings tree huggers, baby seal cleaners and recyclers of all ilk. Today is Earth Day, a day set aside to remind us to take care of the planet that so lovingly takes care of us. Sure, it takes care of us, unless it decides to unleash a tsunami, earthquake, drought, hurricanes, well you get the picture, but like an emotionally abused child on Mother or Father's Day, we need to block those things out and send a card.
I was trying to figure out a fitting way to honor Earth Day and give Mother Nature a proverbial reach around. I could try to put out the tire and Styrofoam fire that has been burning out back since 2006. Maybe I could stop dumping my used engine oil down the sewer or strip mining the baseball field at the park. I'm sure those would all be good, but they all seem to require a Herculean effort and since my commitment to Greek mythology ended the day I bought "Daughter" Disney's Hercules, I'll have to try something else.
I know, I'll reduce my carbon footprint by cutting this short and turning off the computer. Seriously, right after I watch three hours of Dragnet 1968 on Hulu.com and send a few emails. Happy Earth Day. Later...Brian

In honor of Earth Day, the 4th graders that I (try to) teach in my CCD class (Catholic religion class taught after school) told me that toward the end of the 21st century, the sun is going to burn out and everyone on the planet earth is going to die.
I love how uplifting my class can be. They didn't talk about planting trees or doing anything for the environment. I guess they don't see the reasoning since, to them, it's all just going to end anyway. LOL
They were all laughing as they talked about it, too.
Happy Earth Day.
