stop the plan to sulfide mine michigan’s u.p.!

hooray for beloved iowan greg brown’s contribution to the ongoing (expensive, frustrating, at times utterly disheartening) battle against international mega mining conglomerates filching the resources from the ground and poisoning waterways in one of the few remaining true american wildernesses! (I’d embed the video, but it’s important to actually go to the site)–

also please check out the MiWater – the Clean Water Ballot Initiative for michigan– and pick your favorite body of water to tell a story about!

(and just a little geographically-related side note to my pals: please try to keep labor day weekend 2010 clear. kthanxbye.)

the right way to start off a week

after plenty of sleep (i.e. napful, easygoing, soul-spacious weekend), cellphone alarm starts playing jenny lewis at 6 a.m. hit hush, scritch puppy and fall back asleep. wake for good when it goes off again at 6:30.

rise, throw on sweats and sneaks, and drag puppy and feller from bed, grumbly and rumpled for walk in still-dark morning through autumn neighborhoods.

stop for coffee and lox-cream-cheese-bagels and chit chat with the guys at beans n bagels.

cross the river on the wilson bridge with sunrise.

100 situps on the yoga mat.

art play table for an hour or so and actually make a piece start-to-finish.

off to work with a fine happy head.
