You're an old woman and I'm a heinous skank.

We've been watching The 1940s House on DVD, because, you know, we're trying to live in a 1940s house even though our house is clearly post-war.... but I digest. Anyway, the show tries to make you realize the hardships of living in England in the 40s with the rationing and wardens and what-not. I kind of love it though; the strict English discipline

I'm glad you aren't my fuel warden.

If I don't take a shower every day (sometimes twice) then I wouldn't be allowed in my own bed. I get pretty dirty and sweaty each day. We do pretty well with the lights in a room we aren't using thing and we are now in full compost mode along with gardening. We're doing what we can to be good stewards of the Earth, but it's going to brush mankind aside soon no matter what we do. Which is probably for the best at this point.

When is see someone riding a bike I think, "Must have had his license revoked because of a DUI." Then I laugh at their goofy looking helmet.

Not all of mankind. Probably just you. I'm going to be around forever.

Okay, I'll cut back to one shower a day. I want to be here to see what the planet looks like without humans around to screw it up.

Been there, done that (time machine, you know). Going back to 1940s England now, where I belong. You won't hear from me again until I return to the age of computers, years from now. Don't worry, it will seem instantaneous to you...

OK, Back.

Wow..it's almost as if you never left! If I didn't know any better I would think you didn't even *have* a time machine...

As soon as I sent that comment I realized it would have been better if I had just said "OK, I'm back", with no context whatsoever and then 5 minutes later sent another comment about how I was going time traveling. Damn it.
