May 28 2010 - Friday Goodness

This Gulf of Mexico oil nightmare is sickening...
Having just watched a doc on CBC about how the folks from the Exxon oil spill are faring after 18ish years I can only imagine that this is just getting worse and worse...wtf business does this company have with such an operation that they are so fucking clueless about how to STOP IT?
I cannot be the only one throwing up in her mouth over BP's incompetence here...they are behaving like newb amateurs like its their 1st week in business and no one ever considered this possibility before.
I expect much like ExxonMobil they will appeal any court judgment against them forEVER and no one affected will ever really get any timely compensation - let alone get shit cleaned up....Up in Alaska there are beaches still soaked with oil....sitting in the sediment...
This whole thing makes me sick...if BC allows offshore drilling I will lose my shit.

Happy Friday!!!!!!!
The kid survived Jr Prom ok....
She likes the cat this week b/c she feels they have bonded....why u ask? Because she dreamed about the cat communicating with her telepathically - so now shes all fond of the cat..... Jesus.

those idiots have managed to leave a mark that will affect our children's children......

perhaps it's really time for the govt to overhaul the whole system and get serious about implementing the use of alternative energy sources rather than just paying lip service to all of us (while they quietly support the big oil companies.....)

makes me feel sick too...

The longer we stay addicted to petroleum, the more devastation we are going to cause going after the oil that is harder to extract. We are idiots.

But at least A and the cat have bonded...

anyone have are source handy breaking it down how ppl can ween themselves off petroleum addiction? the obvious is one thing (park your car) but i know there are hundreds of other little things that can be done too...

Jen, you are the example for all of us.
1) Live within walking distance of where you work.
2) Live within walking distance of where you shop.
3) Use the bus when you have to.

If I could convince you to start riding a bike, you would be the poster child for giving up oil!
Donna and I put 68% less kms on the car in 2009, as we did in 2008, all due to biking. So far in 2010, we are using the car even less than last year.

As to the cat dream though, clearly, somebody is doing the herbal......

Conky said...

now if i can just "eat my own share" i would be a much better example!

Conky said...

Ayla...herbal...surely you jest?

(HAAAAAAAAAAA SOB!)

Nice job on the mileage cut back!!!!

Cathy said...

Cathy said...
