So what side of the fence are you on?...

Bottled water is for fools who do what the marketers tell them...

2007-08-15T10:38:00.000-05:00

Why anyone in a country like the Usa would drink bottled water just blows my mind. All you are doing is producing waste, slowely choking the planet with unneeded plastic.

Wow!!!

Plastic bags are killing us...

2007-08-09T23:15:00.000-05:00

This is one of the most important things i have ever linked.
Plastic bags are evil.
It disgusts and repulses me to see people at the store putting one or two things in a platic bag. Especially when they have cool stuff such pockets and thumbs to hold things. I always request no bag when i go to the store. I can purchase 3 things at the grocery, and when i tell the clerk i dont wanna bag, its like ive been semt by al queda on a suicide mission. I can sense the clerk is seeing their life pass before them, so i tell em im just doing my part to safe artificial christmas trees. They always relax and smile then. I just laugh it off too... Even if it is wrong that im made to feel like a criminal, merely for stuffing 10 things I bought in MY pockets. I love it when they wanna put a sticker on everything i bought, to show i paid for it, like someone in security is actually paying attention.

Anyway back to the story...

The plastic bag is an icon of convenience culture, by some estimates the single most ubiquitous consumer item on Earth, numbering in the trillions. They're made from petroleum or natural gas with all the attendant environmental impacts of harvesting fossil fuels. One recent study found that the inks and colorants used on some bags contain lead, a toxin. Every year, Americans throw away some 100 billion plastic bags after they've been used to transport a prescription home from the drugstore or a quart of milk from the grocery store. It's equivalent to dumping nearly 12 million barrels of oil.

Only 1 percent of plastic bags are recycled worldwide -- about 2 percent in the U.S. -- and the rest, when discarded, can persist for centuries. They can spend eternity in landfills, but that's not always the case. "They're so aerodynamic that even when they're properly disposed of in a trash can they can still blow away and become litter," says Mark Murray, executive director of Californians Against Waste. It's as litter that plastic bags have the most baleful effect. And we're not talking about your everyday eyesore. Once aloft, stray bags cartwheel down city streets, alight in trees, billow from fences like flags, clog storm drains, wash into rivers and bays and even end up in the ocean, washed out to sea. Bits of plastic bags have been found in the nests of albatrosses in the remote Midway Islands. Floating bags can look all too much like tasty jellyfish to hungry marine critters. According to the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic. The conservation group estimates that 50 percent of all marine litter is some form of plastic. There are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter floating in every square mile of ocean, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. In the Northern Pacific Gyre, a great vortex of ocean currents, there's now a swirling mass of plastic trash about 1,000 miles off the coast of California, which spans an area that's twice the size of Texas, including fragments of plastic bags. There's six times as much plastic as biomass, including plankton and jellyfish, in the gyre. "It's an endless stream of incessant plastic particles everywhere you look," says Dr. Marcus Eriksen, director of education and research for the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, which studies plastics in the marine environment. "Fifty or 60 years ago, there was no plastic out there."

Please take the time to read this, and next time you purchase something, think about whether you really need a bag for it.

Ive been slacking on the posting.
Went to chicago last weeked, saw a few panic shows, kicked it with agent gorpy, the spaceman, and some other members of team zonk! Wassup!!! Its awesome to see people at a show you havent seen in years. Great shows, the chicago theater is awesome. Saw Jb throw out the 1st pitch at the cubs game. Flubs vs asstros, it was sad they both couldnt lose. I decided to root for the home team, and they won. We were all hoping Jb would sing 'Take me out to the ballgame', but he didnt. Immediately after some tool sung it, there was a mass exodus of tie dye headed up the stairs and for the doors of the friendly confines.

Agent cleo cloe elco Beans even made the trip up north to see her buddy, Agent Timber. The 2 were pups together, and hadnt had the chance to sniff each others butts in about 5 years. They were pretty stoked to see each other.

Got a new drive train for the Fiddy. A 1957 235 motor, transmission, driveshaft, and the rearend, complete with the brakes. Cleaned it up yesterday and got the engine on a stand. Slowly but surely im making some progress on my new sled.

Thats it, ill add some pics... Maybe.

I also managed to hit a place ive never been on route 66, Atlanta... Illinois.
Since i added the pics, how about one of Cleo kickin it under a giant hot dog tout from the 60s. Ive got a shots of cleo under a few different version of these from around the country... Ill try to find and upload em.

Will it blend?...

2007-07-13T09:45:00.000-05:00

Will it blend???

This is gonna be good...

Larry flynt is teaming up with washington dc madam, deborah jeane palfrey. Larry has been offering a million-dollar prize to anyone who can provide documented evidence of "illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder."

Combine that with the the phone records that palfrey has...

What a team!!!

Digging into an engine...

2007-06-30T14:20:00.001-05:00

For the 1st time.
After filling the cylinders of the original 216 engine with penetrating stew and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, i had enough. I pulled the head off the fidy this morning, and found out why it wouldnt turn over...

Still cant quite figure out how so much water got in the cylinders, the gaskets look good. Guess im gonna get to put a 235 in after all. This is the original engine, so i hope to rebuild her someday. For now, ill likely put in an upgraded engine, a 235, which is just a better, more reliable version of the 216. Still a straight 6 engine, that is still somewhat period correct. Its also easyier to soup up.

I remember when...

2007-06-28T00:15:00.001-05:00

A weekend at red rocks with widespread panic was something i never missed.
At least now i got panictream.com to get me by.
