Happy Earth Day, planet Earth. Back on the very first Earth Day, I was about nine and a half years old. That was a long damn time ago. Fortunately, during the ensuing 42 years (42 years! Holy shit, when did that happen?) we’ve stopped polluting the air and the water and the land, have made huge strides in getting off of oil (why, we Americans use a mere 19 million barrels a day) and coal with alternative energy, and are taking Climate Change seriously.

Yesterday was bleak and dreary, with rain pretty much all day. Drizzle, mostly, but cold. It made it impossible to do much of anything, so I cleaned my office (which has been needing it badly). I carted a lot of crap down the basement, and threw a bunch of other stuff away. I’m not saying it’s spotless, but I can actually see the surface of my desk. I should probably get around to painting the underside of it (not that I don’t like the look of bare 2x4s.

Today is cold. Just barely up to 43 degrees at the moment, and not supposed to get much warmer. I definitely need to get the grass cut, and am hoping things will dry out a bit before I get started.

Oh well, time to get back to doing whatever was I was doing while I wait for things to warm up a bit.
