I didn't go anywhere for Earth Day. I didn't do anything special. I took a couple of nice long walks under a brooding, rainsome sky, and that was good. But I didn't make it up to the SB Courthouse sunken gardens for the local fete for the ol' blue orb or anything.

Since I didn't go anywhere for Earth Day, on Monday I'm not going anywhere, for Earth Day. I parked Old Blue – my trusty pickup truck – in his garage Sunday evening around 6:00, and he's going to take Monday off. He'll be resting there – incongruously dozing in his indefatigable blueness – until Tuesday morning.

Of course, I'll still need to make my daily visit to my buddy Happy. She'd be disappointed if I didn't go take her out for a sniff, to check her p-mail. From my home office to Happy's house is a round trip of about 4.5 miles. I need to get a bike, don't you think?

Happy day, Earth, you grumpy, overheating old pile of rocks.
