"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."

I had to go down to the Camp Springs District Office to pick up some papers for our client, so I had to use the company Zipcar. Since all the vehicles in my area were the same price per hour($8) I thought, hey, let's get the pickup. So I cruised down the Suitland Parkway sitting pretty. Oh yeah.
And I got to get to know our client a little better, too. He's had a really rough time. He told me that he has custody of his nephew because the boy's parents are in no shape to take care of him. The kid has a heart problem. He can't get a transplant because his body rejects it too strongly. He's had six valve replacements so far in his life. He's seven.
The other, brighter news is that I realized that there is a third week in August. I'd totally forgotten about it. The first week I work. The second week I finish up work and catch some awesome concerts. Fourth week I ride to Goshen and back. But I'd forgotten that I have a third week! How cool is that? I'll have to come up with something to do.
