Where Not To Swim This Summer

Who needs suntan lotion when we've got this?

Two more things you can do stop using petroleum.

1. Stop using plastic bags at the store. And not just at the market for your groceries. Target gives you five cents for every bag YOU bring yourself, whether that's canvas, or you reusing paper bags, whatever.

And 2. Stop buying bullshit plastic bottles of water. It's fucking ridiculous. AND it's a waste of money, so knock it off.

Try using stainless steel ones - they don't contaminate the water that you're DRINKING - so it's better for you anyway. Fill them up at home and take them with you. I know, I know, it takes planning. Once you do it a few times, you won't even think about it. Plus you can have them do special "favors" when you're... lonely.

Because besides using more petroleum, all that plastic ends up somewhere.

Conflict Resolution

THANK YOU to our goddess in Santa Barbara, Claudette for this lovely contribution. Thanks, Claud! It's perfect...

When neighbors would see me cleaning shit off the bird cage they'd say, "Oh god, that looks awful... Not much fun, huh?"

And I'd reply, "Sure it is. I'm using Will's toothbrush."
