My Bodum Experience
While cleaning out the grounds from a recent French Press, I being my usual spastic self, somehow managed to chip and crack the glass beaker of the press. I was not happy. It wasn’t my French Press to break and now I had a fully functional lid and handle to go with a destroyed beaker….
Straws SUCK…No Really, They Do.
GOOD…what were you thinking? Sometimes I forget that there are still a ton of people out there who don’t realize how wasteful single-use plastic items are. So first, a brief thanks to you, GOOD, for grounding me a bit and for giving me fodder to write this post. First, if you haven’t yet, please read…
Garbage, Garbage, Garbage
I’ll be honest and admit that before today, I didn’t know who Pete Seeger was*.

Folk singers,…

Ryan, you need to write a book about this trip…..or an article for some very well-distributed magazine, I doubt anyone would believe it. The picture of that bird and the crap from inside it is heartbreaking! On a similar subject you might like to read a book just released by a friend of mine, matt Rigney; the book is called In Pursuit of Giants, and it is about the ocean’s largest fish and how we are eliminating them….
hope there are some saving graces about your visit, not all horrors like this one….Christine
