holidays

Very Important Stuff, Really

BUT! First some holidays - Today IS, among things:

National River Cleanup Day
Culture Freedom Day
World Whisky Day
World Telecommunication and Information Society Day

They sneaked river cleanup in, there's been so much static, chaos and bullshit in the airwaves that it has been drowned out. If it fits into schedules and such, consider pitching in.

The other 3 sort of go together.

Are we going to change our habits to save the planet?

The election distraction lingers on. Meanwhile everyone is gearing up to spend like crazy for the "holidays". The only real way to try to stop the onslaught we are making on the climate is to change our habits in a big way. What better way to start than by not spending except for what we really need to live?

Good morning, 99%'ers! I am going to be traveling today, so I will not be covering this in real time. Please feel free to talk about whatever you wish.

My husband's 98 year old aunt died one week ago. She had been ready to go for about two years and died peacefully in her sleep early Wednesday morning. We all should be so lucky.
