"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Me, I'm sitting on the couch waiting. This guy is supposed to come and evaluate where our landlord can install central air when she moves into the basement. I hope she's really stuck on central air, because there's no way she's ever going to have enough money to put it in, no man no way. Which means she'll never move in. Which means our washer and dryer can stay in the basement where they belong.
For the rest of the weekend I'm cooking for a CPT regional training then heading to the beach with my family for Monday. I'll ride back Tuesday morning to avoid end-of-the-weekend traffic. It's kind of cool today, though. I hope it warms up for riding and reading on the beach. I'm shivering with all the windows cranked open and the curiously cool morning air flushing in and out. I'm trying to cool the walls down so that when it heats up again we can shut the windows and stay cool indoors.
I should bring some books to read on the beach, which is to my mind one of life's more sublime pleasures.
So now I'm just waiting. I think I'll hit that Sonia Orwell book again.
