Earth, I Love You

Oh Great Earth, I love you and need you! You took such good care of me this past weekend. I took a trip with Jay to glorious Big Sur and the grandness of her nature rendered me utterly happy and peaceful. Soon I was soon firing all 6 cylinders again. How can I repay you? I want to do something for the ocean, I feel like that will be a lifelong calling. I am not sure what yet though.

Friday I start my new plan of walking to work, a couple of times per week. It is only 3 miles one way. Darnit, I just noticed that I am drinking a Calistoga sparkling water out of a plastic bottle. My Sigg bottle with filtered water is good enough. I don't need to contribute more plastic to our landfills. I will try harder with just a little more awareness and a positive feeling.

I thought you might like these old school photos of Eddy Merckx and other cyclists between the years 1969 - 1979. They come from a book we have called The Fabulous World of Cycling. Pretty bad ass, aren't they?

And just for kicks, remember to turn off the lights and shower with a friend.
