GIP and stuff

Look at this awesome icon relevantpink made for me! She picked "shipwrecks" from my interest list and gave me this great multi-purpose icon.

I'm still hunting for my current political icon. I've seen a couple of good candidates over at liberal_icons. I hate to give up the Kerry icon, but I'm reaching the point where I sit there debating over which icon to delete every time I get a new one, and that's just sad. But, you know, you don't want to get rid of the nice ones people made for you... I did delete a Munch icon a while back. See? It has happened.

Oh, forgive me while I indulge in a moment of "told you so":

Drilling approved for Alaska oil reserve

I'm sorry. I'd like to be writing politically insightful things, but right now I'm still trying to figure out what the hell I can do to make a difference.

In the meantime, I'll probably just write fluff.

Get an electric lawn mower?

I can tell you right now that I'd be more than willing to pay such a slight increase in the cost of yard maintenance (less than $10 a month for my yard, plus an extra $7 to get you there). It's not a lot for your profession, quite honestly.

It'll hit the commuting traffic the hardest, and those with low milage vehicles will either curtail their driving, get a new vehicle, or suck it up as a cost of being affluent.

there are solar lawn mowers too. and for small yards, use one that doesn't require fuel at all.

i don't understand why people go "meh it's gonna cost me MONEY to go alternative!" when we know damn well we're gonna run out of oil, and that oil prices are going to skyrocket well before that happens, and that sooner or later we'll be paying more anyway if civilization doesn't out and out collapse, so we might as well start paying more sooner.
