On Water

Blasting out some more scribble:

• We're watching "Lost." Yep, after all this time fighting the hype, ELV and I are working through the ABC show about pretty survivors and their illogical plot points. Season one was pretty darn good, especially the second part of the finale which had me yelping and jumping like a shocked salmon slapping against the surface of the dusty country pond (who gave me this "analogies like Dan Rather" primer?)...salmon in a pond? The second season is starting to anger me and we're only on episode 4. Point of order: if I ever win the lottery, and you decide to hate me for my unbelievable luck, I will not be crushed.
• Accidentally watched a bit of Sean Hate-ity on FoxNews while channel flopping. He was talking about global warming and how the snows of Kilaminjaro aren't melting because of human influence. Here's the question, neo-cons, why are you spending so much effort trying to dissuade Americans from conservation?!! Isn't it a worthy goal to decrease carbon emissions if the by-products are decreased emissions of other nasty gases from fossil fuel use? Isn't it a good idea if we decreased our dependence on products from the hardly-stable middle eastern portion of our troubled world? Why are you fighting against something that's could result in a win-win outcome...because of the monies from oil interests and auto manufactures? Come on, a little foresight, there will be plenty of kickbacks from the solar cell manufactures and ethanol developers once they become the predominant players. You'll get your money, greedy little piggies.
• Bruscetta is so easy to make. You should make it. Get some good bread and go crazy.
