Speaking of organic jam, my mother lives in fertile tropical pastures, with mangoes littering her yard with the promise of sweetness. Yet she does not make jam. In her words, she throws the mangoes “over the fence so that the iguanas will stay out of the yard”. This will possibly change due to my concerted efforts to shame her into eating at least one a day for breakfast and making jam for me to enjoy.
In other news, I saw An Inconvenient Truth today as a “job requirement” which was in itself awesome, but more awesome was the film. It truly moved me in a way the environmental movement usually doesn’t. And all movie revenue goes to a global warming educational non-profit. Al Gore = true American idealist and leader (unlike George W. Bush, current president).
In conclusion, here are some pictures of AK. They were taken on a 17 hour car ride with one Evan “the wizard” Kane, whom you should google if curious as to his station in life. What you will not learn from this search is that Evan has a dog named Murray, who spent approximately 7 of the 17 hours in my lap, terrified of the bumpy road.
