The newest Carnival of the Green is up at AIDG!
Pope preaches environmental stewardship
July 15th, 2008 No Comments
This is something I can finally agree on, without issue, with Catholics: the Pope preaches to Australian Catholics about climate change (WSJ, sub. not required!). I’m fairly certain this will be the only time I agree with Catholics, or even the Pope, on an issue that’s actually important.

Farms and free food
July 11th, 2008 No Comments
This weekend, we’re planning our first trip to D&D Farms for some fresh veggies that we’ll hopefully be picking ourselves. If not, I won’t have a heart attack. I’m mainly interested in bulking up my meager supply of dried peppers. Right now, I’ve only got about a dozen red chilis, jalapenos, and [...]

Expose on Scientology’s 8 million dollar pay-off
July 6th, 2008 No Comments
I just came across this expose from the Village Voice/New Times LA (why doesn’t New Times Broward write stuff half this good?).
It’s rather long winded but well worth the read for some insight into how Scientology loves to waste money to not pay people who sue them. Some of this stuff is new hat, [...]

Happy 4th of July!
July 4th, 2008 No Comments
Today is the celebrated day of our country’s independence from Britain so many years ago. It’s also my step-father’s 74th birthday! And unfortunately, it’s just another Friday for us so we have to work :(.
Happy 4th everyone and be safe.

Ethanol is coming to the Turnpike
July 4th, 2008 4 Comments
Well, at least at the Port St. Lucie service plaza according to TCPalm.com (don’t bother reading the comments, they’re pretty much focused on bashing Crist). While this is a welcome addition to the CITGO pumps already in place that readily provide gas for travelers approximately every 45 miles, is this “too little, too late”? [...]
