Another day, Another dollar

I was surprisingly productive this weekend. Watched the debate on Friday (Obama 08!). Went to the Sustainable Ballard Festival. Jeremy and I got the Hawthorn tree trimmed back. Nick's b-day was Saturday. Sunday I made all kinds of food and brewed 10 gallons of IPA...

I'm at work. It's most unpleasant. We lost an employee a week ago. They've hired someone else, but they won't be starting till Thursday. Even then I'm told it will take up to 2 months to train them. I guess it isn't going to get any better for a while...

The Sustainability Fest was pretty cool. They had a bunch of stuff on urban farming. I'm all about it. I'm seriously considering starting a rabbitry. I think that it would be pretty awesome to grow my own meat. Some people aren't so down with this idea. But to all you nay-sayers out there I have this to say. Don't come down on me about eating rabbits when you're stuffing your face with chicken, beef, pork, or anything else that moves around. (Surprisingly the most receiptive people I've talked to about this don't eat meat, go figure)...

The stock market had it's largest single day loss in history today. What does this mean for you and me? I wish I knew...

Just a thought

The practice of aerially hunting wildlife is horrific. And anyone who participates in, advocates or even silently supports such an act is a monster.

Let's make some headlines

Sorry for the recent lack of activity. I don't really have a good excuse. But I read a post in a facebook group today and I think it's a damn fine idea....

This comes from the group 1,000,000 Strong Against Sarah Palin from Jonah Weinberg (Cleveland, OH)

******

Instead of, or perhaps in addition to, forwarding emails to like-minded friends about how horrible Sarah Palin is as a choice for VP, or leader of anything, why not put your gall to some use, and make a donation to Planned Parenthood, in Sarah Palin's name?

The best part is, when you make a donation to PP in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor.

Here's the link to the honorary donations section of the Planned Parenthood website: https://secure.ga0.org/02/pp10000_inhonor

You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card, and the best address to use would be the national McCain/Palin campaign headquarters:

McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street, 1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202

P.S. Make sure you use that link above or choose the “Honorary or Memorial Donations,” not the regular "Donate Online," or you won’t be able to let her know you care.

*****

So everyone out there open up your pocket books, even just a little, in hopes that before the election we could make the headline, "Honorary Palin donations set record for Planned Parenthood".

Obama/Biden 08!
