Earth Day 2009
So how did you commemorate Earth Day? Since I never got around to ordering that ton of high-sulfur coal I was going to burn in the back yard just for the hell of it, I figured a next-best would be to turn on a bunch of those oil-filled heaters in the house, set 'em to "max," turn the AC down to 60, turn on all the lights, leave the faucets running, and then go to work. Nah, I didn't really do that, but it would've been a good "up yours" to all the sanctimony surrounding all this Earth Day/Earth Month hoohah. I'm in favor of conservation, reduce/reuse/recycle, and all the rest, but damn, folks - give it a break already.
