Help a Sister Out

And by a sister I mean my sister. 

Clicking this link will help Pam help Colorado stay green. Or whatever color it naturally is. 

And now a message from the legislative program director at Environment Colorado:

Hey Guys!

I realize that it is 3:15 on a Friday afternoon, but if you all could please take 3 seconds to go to this link: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_9976259, and give Gov. Ritter a job approval rating (of “excellent”, ideally) we will hold off the forces of evil for one more day.

This is the latest, albeit silly, battleground of the oil + gas war that is pitting us environmentalists and our friends in the administration against Big Oil.

The industry is driving their people to this site to vote for a “poor” approval rating to further make the Governor feel badly beat up in the press because of his aggressive stance on drilling regulations and his desire to end a $300 million subsidy for the richest industry in the world right now. Bill needs your help!

Anyway, PLEASE VOTE> ritter is a good guy, but more importantly we want him to feel strong and not beaten up so he’ll continue to hold a tough line. (our fear is that if this is badly skewed then it will drive a media story)

THANKS!!!

P.S. You may recognize Governor Ritter from the photo of me and Governor Ritter. 

Where Does the Good Go?

July did not find me feeling very bloggy. Clearly. 

Blah. Apparently I'm still not feeling bloggy. I've kind of been sidetracked from all my projects since it finally became summer (about 3 weeks ago). Like all my plants (except the basil) have died. I still can't play the drums. I haven't picked up the Bible in months (still haven't made it out of Leviticus). I've barely read anything except for the magazines on my 6 flights since May. And bike #2 is still out of commission and no closer to being converted into a single speed. I still haven't replaced the chain & cassette on the Speedster even though I picked up the parts weeks ago. 

Just to put it all in perspective. 

The projects can wait for the rain, but I really need to camping soon. Not sure how I am going to swing that, but it needs to happen. I realize this post has nothing to do with the Tegan & Sara song in the title. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHAW!

Struggling

On days we wanted to last forever we woke up to watch the sun rise. Now every day I watch the sun set over the sound and disappear behind the Olympics. It's one of those things I wish I could capture, but if it loses something in the digital photo it sure as hell is going to clunk like a crayon drawing of an orange circle and purple triangle mountains with safety-scissor lines of snow if I try to get it down on paper.
