By the way, what did YOU do for 'Earth Day' yesterday? Not being one to pass up a celebration, I lit up a few cigars, let the pickup truck run idle for over an hour, topped off my gas tank at the filling station, and turned the air conditioning up as high as it would go. I started to deliberately break one of those newfangled light bulbs that are supposedly enviro-friendly, but the gub'mint told me it was poison if you break one. So I took it outside and broke it. Hope the mercury from one of those safe, environment-friendly light bulbs didn't kill anybody.
