I spent the entire day hanging out with Diane doing as little as possible.. We did venture away from home twice. once for a very fast 3 mile hike around preston pond.. Very fast just to stay ahead of the mosquitos which were out in force.. and once to go restart the floorish piece after a power outage in Burlington.. and to drop off my jolts and volts equipment at work. That was a fascinating trip if only oto see the extent of the flooding in burlington.. soem of the city streets were under several inches of water. The firehouse gallery had water in its basement.. and IBM had water in the halls.. amazing weather…

As we drove around, diane and I compared notes on our week.. I’d been in boston, ny, illinois, Ct and back.. I’d slept in 5 differnt beds, been on several planes, and driven over a thousand miles..My carbon footprint is horrible..

Diane had not left the driveway once in 4 days.. she’d been hanging out working in the garden, eating from the garden  and taking hikes all week. We realized that she is my carbon offset .. the more I travel for work, the more she stays home to kharmically make up for my horrible carbon footprint

I am lucky to have her.. (and not just for her low carbon)

nite all, nite sam
