SOMETIMES I RANT...

It's spring here in the lovely Pacific Northwest, but you wouldn't know it. Sure, the plants are starting to grow... sort of. We have lettuce to eat from the garden - for our sandwiches. Not enough for a salad yet! The beans have finally sprouted (second batch of seeds), and for the most part things are looking good in the garden. In fact, today I removed some of the "anti kitty-poo" yarn fences and the overall mood of the garden is much improved. I'll be able to reach into the beds to pull out the weeds!

It's been a couple of busy weeks - finally this weekend I am free from work and other social requirements. Kind of glad for that! I need a bit of relaxation. Tomorrow is a garden day, and on Sunday we'll head off island to hit Costco, Value Village, and the best ever mexican restaurant. Wooo!

But seriously - is it ever going to get warm again? The next few days are calling for highs in the 50's... I'm getting a little tired of the cool air. And the wind! That really breaks the deal. Give me 75 and 80% humidity... for a day or two anyhow!

Did you know that the BP subsidiaries in the western US are ARCO and ampm? Stop shopping there! Don't buy their gasoline! Boycott BP now.

I don't really want to get going about the Gulf oil gusher - don't call it a spill, that's a really poor representation of the truth. It's an uncontrolled underater oil volcano...

Thanks BP. Thanks for freakin' destroying the Gulf.

Whaddya' think? Maybe it's time to rethink our addiction to oil? Look for some alternatives? Not let the corporations rule our country?

And what is up with that Rand Paul dude? It's "un-American" to criticize BP? What - it's patriotic to bow down to a foreign corporation in the name of the effing "free" market and say - oh, it's just a teensy bit of oil out there... too bad so sad for all of the people and the ecosystems that are destroyed by the greed of BP...

Jerk.

Since when do the corporations run this country? Oh, silly me... since the Supreme court granted them "personhood" without the actual responsibilities of being a person.

Okay, that's all. It's time to head off to bed now...
