South of Tonight (∆±)

New Place To Blog

2012-01-22T14:30:00.000-08:00

From now on I will occasionally blog at South of Tonight. Google insists that members share more and more of their personal lives by linking all things Google. If I want to share I will say when I want to share. I shouldn't have to opt-out. Google has become another Fookbase. "Do no harm." That is BS. Goodbye Blogger/Google. You have crossed the line. Any comments should be made at my WordPress blog. I will not return to this blog. So long.

USPS dead in the water thanks to the Congress

2011-12-12T19:15:00.001-08:00

There have been stories about the United States Postal Service reducing mail service. One big issue is that customers that receive their prescription medicine by post may not receive them in time due to the closure of postal centers and the deduction of delivery days. Well, order the medications earlier. And the complaint of all the "ad" (junk) mail. Greatly increase the postage of said mail. That will reduce some of the mail and increase revenue.

The main problem is the charter of the Postal Service. If Congress would get off its butt and change the charter to allow the USPS to provide services similar to what European and other governments are allowed to provide, that may delay the disappearance of mail service a bit longer.

Want to reduce your junk mail?

Oh, and we don't need all that colorful packaging and advertising. We know what's out there and don't need you to tell us what crap to purchase. We're just not smart enough not to buy it.

Keurig's Environmental Fail

2011-12-11T10:03:00.001-08:00

Keurig's new "Choose, Brew, Enjoy" TV advert is a large FAIL. There is no mention of recycling the K-Cups or using the K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter. If Keurig is an environmentally responsible company they would mention these points. Apparently they are not.

Observed over 300 pronghorn while traveling through Wyoming. Saw 100+ in one herd. Very impressive. Interesting in how they approached a fence on a wide front but would jump over the fence in only one place following one another.

It was three years ago today that our beloved Freda crossed the Rainbow Bridge. This morning was a foggy morning, Freda's favorite.

Suzy and I went to our special place and took time to remember Freda.

2011-10-16T12:52:00.001-07:00

Always thought it started too late in the season(s). Movement needs to move south during the winter and also begin boycotting big corporations. Must survive and win.

No Posting For A While

2011-10-10T17:23:00.001-07:00

I will not be posting here or other social sites for a while. Will it save a little server space and electricity needed to maintain the huge server farms? Who knows? Will anyone care? When I delete some of my old tweets and blog posts will it save even more? Foolish? Possibly. Lonely? Yes.

H.U.M.P. Day (Hitch Up My Pony)

2011-10-10T11:40:00.001-07:00

I’m hitching up my pony and will attempt to use as little electricity and as few petroleum based products as I can for the remainder of the day. As in the horse and buggy days?

Did you turn on the light to read your morning paper? Perhaps you arose too early. Try reading in the morning light tomorrow. I did today. It was nice. Do you turn on the light in the shower or water closet when you actually don’t need it?

Billions of us post something online almost every day. Why are we keeping tweets, or blog posts in all their forms for years and years? Are they really that important to most of us? Do we really need to keep everything we compose into perpetuity? A journal of your life may be important. So be it. But of the extraneous fluff? Do we need ever expanding server farms and their increasing demand for electricity to store what we once thought were eloquent words? Have you thought to deleting the tweets you posted several years ago? Are they relevant today? Didn’t think so. Does it really matter how many tweets you have posted? Something you post today is most likely forgotten by most humans in a week or two. If or when I return to the online world, I will begin deleting my early tweets and blog postings and free up some space somewhere for the next stupendous “best seller” and save some electricity. (But will I waste more power deleting my fluff?)

Are you going to H.U.M.P. today, tomorrow? Once a year is a start but once a month or once a week would create a larger difference. If nothing else you might feel better about yourself. Now that I have just wasted all this electricity producing ones and zeros and wasting electricity, I’m thinking of hitching Ol’ Bess up for several days and see what happens.

Happy H.U.M.P Day.

Must have been quite a game.

Thanks to Splash for letting us know that there is a large red (Delta)Bunny residing at the new terminal at the Sacramento Airport. Will always be reminded of Freda when we stroll by.

Freda would have been pleased. Much appreciated, Splash. Thank you.

More photos of the red bunny can be seen here.

Tomorrow will be a day of remembrance and reflection.
