10-10-10 and Three-Fifty (350)
Yesterday was the day of action for 350. I'd thought about what to do on this day for about a year and when the day came I did NOTHING ... unless stirring and spraying my vermiposter counts. I'm still worried about the 2010 midterm elections, so called people a) to ask if they could volunteer and b) ask if they would PLEASE vote.
Here are some results from people who actually did something: 350 on 10-10-10.
I also took two naps during the day yesterday. My resistance is down and I seem to have been chasing off a cold.
What did you do for 350 day this year?

2010 Election Is Approaching.
While Em's been off work until the fall season we're trying to squeeze in some little vacations along with some longer-term changes around the house. Astrid still comes three times/week (when we're not off somewhere) and she's growing up before my eyes. Six months old already! She'll be crawling and walking before I know it!
I haven't had the time or interest to blog lately, but this article caught my eye this morning and reminded me that elections will be coming soon and it's time for me to put on my political hat and get out there with my peeps to knock on doors and make phone calls.

Paul McCarthy at the White House.
I think he was one of the most talented song-writers ever to live, so I'm glad to see he was honored by the US.
I also don't agree with the folks who think that Obama should be ALL gulf oil spill ALL the time.

President Obama Awarded 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
Not too many folks have listened to the representative of the Nobel Committee, apparently, because I see talk all over the internets of "but, he hasn't DONE anything", and "Hope isn't enough!". These folks didn't notice, like my cousin, Jim, who wrote me last year to say that "my guy is NUTZ with all his talk of nuclear nonproliferation." Jim, (just like the Nobel Committee) knew how to check out Obama's website.
Congratulations, Mr. President and good luck to you.
Accepting ...
The day after, inquiring minds want to know WHY Obama was selected. Nobel Representative explains:

I support the public option in health insurance reform.
If you do, as well, take a few minutes to tell Congressman Boehner, who says he's never met an American who did.

Gardening (and HR 875?)
Spent MOST of the day yesterday working in the back yard. I really had a good time laying wet newspaper as a weed barrier along the fencelines, hauling bricks to ensure the newspaper stays in place, and then very slowly and carefully watering the fruit bushes, strawberries, and other things we planted last week.
Too windy today to plant seeds (my next step), so I cleaned up the back yard, set out two new water buckets (might get some rain this week), tended to the bushes planted last year, did a little laundry, ordered some shower-head shut-off valves and basically tended to other activities.
Meanwhile, No. 3 read this about HR 875.
I think many of us appreciate more oversite after salmonella in spinach or maybe tomatoes and salmonella in peanut products, but something doesn't sound right in this legislation, and it's certainly worthy of some chatter.

Home Again.
We're back from a REALLY fun, CHEAP trip to West Wendover, Nevada.
Video - More than you ever wanted to know about West Wendover. We went there to game and because it's such a great place at such a great price.
It was in late 2007 that Em, for the first time, booked us to West Wendover, and on that trip where I noticed the comraderie of people who travel there. The place is so desolate that if you run into people with whom you waited in line to get onto the airplane, you feel like you've run into your best friends. Heh. THIS year was no different from the last time we went in that regard, and Em's no shrinking violet when it comes to meeting people: How do you think he met ME?
We had a great 3-4 days playing around in the northern end of Nevada, but didn't much like the process of flying/driving to Dallas Love Field.
'twas the first time we'd driven together to Love Field, parked in the long-term parking (and there's a whole 'nuther post about how the parking lot has so many "this way ONLY" signs that we had to "go illegal" to get out somewhere in my future).
Most telling thing on our return, however, is how we got home to find our smoke alarms screeching.
We had NO idea what to do. NO. idea.. We tried turning off the circuit breakers. That turned off all the lights in the house, triggered the security alarm in the house, and didn't do a damn thing to stop the smoke alarms from screeching all over to ears that were already sensitive due to that whole airplane pressure thing.
I called 911 to see if they could give us some tips on how to disable the smoke alarms because if you come home from a fairly tense ride in traffic on I-35 trying to find your way home from Dallas Love Field, you need all the help you can get. The dispatcher sympathized, but suggested that she needed to send someone out. It took 15 minutes or so, but 4 firemen came ... in their firetruck ... to see what they could do to check it all out. <-- We're good!
Smoke alarms, apparently, have a shelf-life of about 10 years. Our house is 12 years or so old, so the smoke alarms might simply need new batteries,
OR
we need new smoke alarms. It's been 12 or so years (coinciding with the manufacturers' warranty).
We're not much for fine dining experiences and had even brought some foodstuffs along from home for breakfasts, but we did enjoy a wonderful dinner of chicken cordon bleu at The Rainbow Steak House. We usually split one entree on the rare occasions when we go out to dinner (more because the servings are way too big for one of us than to save money, although the money saving is nice, too), but we had a buy one get one free coupon. For $29.00 (which included over $7.00 in tip for the server) we got two huge meals of THE BEST tasting food. WOW! We took an entire dreaded styrofoam box of leftovers back to our room and ate EVERYTHING for breakfast in the morning, and it tasted just as good then as it had the night before. Of course, we ran into some people we'd talked to in line at the airport and ... two of them didn't take their leftovers because they thought the food would go bad overnight without refrigeration and/or would need reheating. I wonder how much food waste is due to fear of getting sick.
Em had a delicious asparagus soup at the Steak House that he let me taste, and the weather today is cold and dreary, so I'm making some soups. I'm not much of a soup person, but Em likes soup and I can appreciate the thought of hot soup on cold, dreary days like this one. Tomorrow's soup will be Apple-Bacon-Tomato Soup, and I'm baking two acorn squash right now, that had already turned from green to orange waiting for me to cook them, in my little oven for today's Acorn Squash Soup. I'm also making a beef stir-fry this afternoon, and will make a pizza tomorrow afternoon, so we'll have a few choices of what to eat when we get hungry the next few days. Soups, chilis, casseroles, stews, gumbos are also great places to hide supplements from people who might not think they would like some things just because they've got a health-food reputation. Not mentioning any names, of course.
Back to that fear of getting sick when it comes to food waste thought, I brought hard-boiled eggs to West Wendover as part of breakfast. I wasn't worried at all about them staying cool enough to not spoil, although we all joked about how the elevator could double as a refrigerator as cold as it was in there for some reason. I don't worry about how long I keep stuff in the freezer, using a bag of homemade chicken broth for the squash soup that had been in the freezer since August, 2005, and pretty much ignore expiration dates on pantry foodstuffs. We haven't gotten sick yet, although (heh) I suppose it could be that we've grown immune to food poisoning from constant exposure. [Don't tell Em I said that.] :-)
We've got a lot of catching up to do online this coming week. We missed the inauguration and all that, but want to catch the Youtubes of it all. We need to research whether we REALLY need to replace the smoke alarms because Em's not convinced it isn't a case of old (unused) batteries, and I still haven't fully recovered the PC as I want it to be, which is not to be confused with the mess it had become. That's the positive side of failure ... letting go of what was to embrace a new start.
There's dead-tree reading, as well, as I began reading The Namesake on the plane back and forth. No. 1 had leant me that book to amuse myself on the long train ride to Chicago that I was to take last August before a flight presented itself that was quite affordable. I met a woman on the plane who had taken that train ride to Chicago from Dallas and could only describe it as "interesting". The train was 5 hours late and it seemed to her that the Amtrak people didn't seem to care or keep track of things like what track the train might take, and other things that resulted in huge delays. She wouldn't describe the ride as a negative experience, but I sensed that it wasn't one of the more positive experiences in quite an extensive history of experiences under her belt. We'll still do it, of course, after my birthday sometime this year as a test. At 62, I'll qualify for the senior discount on trains both in the US and Canada.
No. 1 saw the movie starring Kal Penn. It could be interesting to see how the book is filmed after I finish the read. Looking at it from an environmental point of view, comparing just water used each day in the US to water used each day in Calcutta, India could definitely reflect how spoiled we are.

Happy Martin's Birthday!
As usual, there are a number of things to discuss today.
Exercise: We joined the local YMCA.
We've enjoyed it so far, although I'm having a hard time getting shoes to fit correctly. I started out wearing my tai-kwon-do shoes and switched to a very expensive walking shoe which started to hurt my feet, so I got some Scholl inserts to tighten up the fit, which lifted my feet enough to rub the heel on the back of the top creating a blister. Now, I'm back to the tai-kwon-do shoes, which aren't all that comfortable for walking, and I'm doing 20 minutes on the tread-mill before using the other machines and then doing walks around the gym for a cool-down. Shoe problems aside, we both feel stronger after an hour here a few times/week.
Juice: Em drinks a fair amount of juice (or juice-like products), or he DID until I started interfering with that process for reasons of too much plastic waste and high fructose corn syrup/artificial ingredients. It was a gradual process, going first from liter bottles of lemonade or punch to frozen cans of juice and re-using containers from other juice-type purchases. I bought 4 64-oz glass carafes from Target this past week. They're unavailable in brick and mortar stores, so they were shipped in big boxes full of packaged air to prevent breakage. They're quite heavy once full, but I feel good to finally toss (for the last time) the plastic alternatives. Note the comparison.
I've been drinking more juice, myself, lately: vegetable juice, grapefruit juice, and a pomegranate/ blueberry blend from Old Orchard. I'm not really interested in juicing my own fruits and vegetables, though, and No. 2 had bought me a juicer a while back that I've never used. Em took that juicer to UPS this morning. We'd placed the unopened box in one of those big boxes with some of that packaged air to ensure it would travel safely. UPS wanted $112.00 to ship it, so Em brought it back home. ????? We'll figure out how to get it to No. 2 next week after we remove some of the excessive packaging.
Obama Group: We've joined with some "neighbors" to form an Obama Group named Attentive Public. While all North Texans, some in the group live in Dallas, some in Grand Prairie, others in other nearby towns. We've gotten together twice so far, and learned quite a lot from some of the people who represent us in government.
Some in our group are volunteering at the MLK Day celebrations this week, but Em and I will be in West Wendover. We leave tomorrow morning and return Friday evening. I have yet to pack for that, so had better finish here soon.
Food Waste: Crunchy Chicken has a new challenge which involves food waste. We toss too much food waste onto the garden plot when we could (with a little creativity) plan our meals around what's about to go bad. I put that thought to use while cooking supper last night, using some garlic cheese with almonds left over from an Obama Group event as the cheese/garlic in a spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe. I'm still loving that little convection oven even when I use it as a regular oven. It heats way faster, wasting less energy just coming up to temp.
I'm happy to add this banner to the sidebar, and disappointed to delete the banner for Goods For Girls, as Crunchy has shut down that enterprise.
In combination with this challenge and the "just coming to temp" thought above, I'll be addressing water waste in a more efficient manner as part of this waste challenge. I'm currently putting a bucket in the shower stall while the water comes to temperature, but still a lot of water goes to waste while getting to temperature. I wish we could redirect the water while it comes to temp for a shower, but I don't know how to do that. I will be looking for a shower head that allows for turn off and on after the water's to temp so I can shampoo my hair without wasting water.
Water used in cooking will also be addressed as part of this water waste challenge. Since I use the saved water almost solely on plants, there's no reason why I shouldn't have a bucket for water used to boil potatoes or pasta or in making hard-boiled eggs. If I can keep it clean enough, there's probably no reason why water used to boil potatoes can't be recycled to boil pasta or eggs and vice-versa, although at some point, I think a lot of starch could accumulate in this water. I wonder if starch is good for plants or at what point the water might become too scummy for words.
My sweet potato starts absolutely love our bathroom window. The west exposure gives them sun to grow while still maintaining privacy in the bathroom. I've just moved the second group of starts to that window today (Can't Believe It's Not Butter).
The parsley, cilantro, spinach, and lettuce seeds continue to grow in a south window, but they don't seem to be trying to break any records. I'm growing these looking for an indoor crop this winter, not as starts for the outside garden.
No. 1 and I tried to get together for an underwear shopping trip this month while she was off school and while the stores had underwear sales. We had no luck with that, as her car had some battery-related problems, which I trust have been resolved as today she starts again on the last semester of her internship at the mission in Fort Worth. School starts tomorrow and I don't expect to see much of her until spring break or her wedding, planning of which has consumed more of my time lately than I'd like ... just in the selection of a hotel for the few out-of-town guests. Hoping to get No. 2 involved with the final decision, as she IS one of the out-of-town guests.
Must pack now; I've put it off until the last possible moment while my mind churned the wardrobe options. It'll definitely be a brown theme this year, as the black theme I chose last trip (two years ago) had me falling down on exiting the plane or any doorwell encountered while wearing my black suede Birks. Those shoes just aren't safe enough for travel.
Happy Martin's birthday to y'all.

I agree, Ron; It's nuts.
Last year's good guys are this year's bad guys, and last year's bad guys are this year's good guys and if you actually practice democracy but elect this year's bad guys, we'll either bomb you or help someone else bomb you. It's nuts.
