In the sunroom project, apparently we either lose 1'2" off the front or wait till february for an opportunity to obtain a variance. The Company has offered to cut a substantial deal if we shrink a tad and proceed now, so we took it. Onward, and more waiting.
It would appear there has been some consolidation of the change.org recommendations. Victory Garden on the whitehouse lawn has now become "Green the Whitehouse" I must confess I both love and hate the green moniker. On the one hand it makes the concept of conservation and such more accessable to the public at large. On the other hand it makes it trendy and thus doomed to be over with, and is a faaar to big a tent, including in the idea of green the ludicrous notion of things like "clean" (lie) coal" and other feel good greenwashing tokenism. Its fine if the heading Green includes specific actions like gardening, modern appliances, conservation practices, and the restoration of solar panels on the roof that were originally implemented by Carter, then torn down by Bonzo.
Its fine to make this a big tent idea, but lets keep the specifics clear.
Monsanto is at it again, and made seed saving a priority this year.

Myself, I'm sick of 'green'. It's become a middle class trend; which means it will become tiresome soon and will be dropped for the next new trend. I just posted on this topic on my blog too...I much prefer 'brown' to 'green'. Brown is homespun, ugly at times and a way of life as opposed to green, which is an old idea wrapped up in a trendy, pretty new package in order to sell it to the masses.
I guess it's probably too early in the morning for a rant, huh?
