Tell the Govt to stop buying bottled water with our money!

News reports noted a prime example of that waste: In the first quarter of 2010 alone, the House spent $190,000 taxpayer dollars on bottled water.

That's a lot of money—equivalent to paying perhaps 4 teachers' salaries—so that our elected officials can sip water that's bad for the planet to boot.

10 uses for a People Towel

Back in the day, my Grandmother always carried a hankie.  We used it for everything ... gathering eggs, a towel, a bandage for a boo-boo ... it even carried the flowers we picked.

Today - I still carry a hankie.  It's in my daily 'possibles bag'. 
But I also carry a People Towel!  They are fast drying and small.  Very handy! 

Here is a list of a few of the ways I've used my People Towel recently: 

1. a towel to dry your hands on! (duh)
2. a napkin (I sincerely hope you tell the folks in the drive-thru, no napkins please!)
3. a tissue (only if you might need something soft and absorbent for your nose)
4. a soft wrap for your Oakley sunglasses that you need to stuff in your Tote
5. a Koozie for your hot coffee cup
6. you are out for a hike, see a 'treasure', you can wrap it in your People Towel (stuff it in your pocket) for safekeeping
7. a wash-cloth (for when your son is rolling in the grass and his arms itch)
8. You are out to dinner, and your daughter says, 'Mom - the seat is wet (bus-boy-dude just wiped it down) Sha-zam - People towel to the rescue!
9. a Lego holder, when you son needs to sort his stash in the truck
10. Skittles container, when your son uses 3 quarters to get more than a handful out of the machine. *sigh* it happens


There is a reason why I have more than 1 People Towel ... and always a couple in the wash. :D

Please comment and share your People Towel adventures!

AMAZING Dolphins!

Can you imagine being caught in a Dolphin stampede? 

Apparently this is Garden Cove, Placentia Bay, Newfoundland ...

They had to keep cutting the motor in the boat for fear of striking a dolphin.

What a beautiful sight!

Fourth Orca Dies At SeaWorld This Year

6 October 2010

A 25 year old female orca called Kalina died at SeaWorld Orlando on Monday. Kalina is the fourth orca to die at SeaWorld parks this year – a shameful record that highlights the difficulty of keeping these remarkable animals in captivity.

Kalina was the first orca born in captivity.
