Now for something completely different
It had to happen sooner or later, that I would need to update this page, which would bump the most monumental event of my past year from the home page — my first post on ‘A Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion’ unveiled in Washington DC and my second post. If you haven’t seen them, please click on the highlighted words. (Eventually, I’ll add them to the story column on the right.)
And as they say, now for something completely different:
Last Sunday, I took a picture of my odometer, as it reached an symetrical “111111″.
I have a 2001 Chevy Cavalier. So it isn’t all that old. I’ve just made some big trips out to the east coast, and two General Conventions in it — mostly “highway miles”. I hope to hang on to it until I can find an affordable “green car” to replace it. Interestingly, some of the hybrids and others that are touted as being green don’t get mileage that is much better than mine. There is a dealer in the area that will be selling commuter cars that only get about 41 MPG. My old Geo Metro got at least 52-58 MPG. It’s too bad Chevy doesn’t make them anymore. I’ll be interested in taking a look at the Volt when it comes out. But I’m phobic about electrical outlets. I’m also interested in solar powered and compressed air cars that are in the works. Until then, I think I want to keep my Cavalier.
On the topic of ‘Now For Something Completely Different’ category, Lisa forwarded me this link to her blog, with a creative video about spaying & neutering. Ironically, one of the ladies in the credits is someone whose name I recognize from Spay & Stay here. I did a search for the organization who put out the video, and was surprised that they’re located in the town just north of me. Small world! Here’s the post she sent me, with a link to the video:
