Typo Boy! I posted this much earlier today and this seems up your alley.

I have a question. My FIL mentioned something about how a scientist that Al Gore quotes or uses or something, now is predicting a cooling cycle. I couldn't say anything about this since I didn't know anything about it.

A brief bit of research does indicate there is indeed some truth to this. From what I can determine this doesn't refute CO2 driven warming, it just means a cooling cycle will mute the effect for a period of time. Does anyone know much about this? It made me curious, but looking up objective info on global warming is difficult.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I now realize I have too much stuff to give away. At least, more than I can deal with carting to the Goodwill. I guess I'll try the front-lobby freecycle and see what goes, and make a Goodwill run on Sunday with what's left.

Whereas I just want to go to the big Goodwill downtown, and then maybe go to the cafe right next to it that has gumbo. Heeeyyy, I wonder if I could sweet-talk my parents into doing that...?

Today I wish I had a granny cart. Or a ride. Ah well.

The Dearborn one? The selection was beyond crummy last time I was there, which was 2-3 weeks ago. It's gone downhill. You're better off doing Shoreline or Ballard or U District.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The big problem with donating items to Goodwill or Boys and Girls Club or whatever is that they don't accept a lot of stuff. Clothes are good, pillows, working lamps, etc, are OK, but no toys that have been opened, no baby gear, no beds, dear Dog no mattresses, no couches, no desks. Il est un pain.

“Not dead yet!”

Really? I wonder if it varies from place to place, because our Goodwill takes EVERYTHING. Especially toys.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Especially toys.

Our local thrift shop (not a Goodwill) has stopped taking toys, I think b/c of the whole lead paint thing, but I'm not sure.

Oh, I just drop and run. (Inside, at the designated drop off bin...) And feel bad on the inside if they end up throwing stuff away.
