"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."

On my way to getting lost trying to find Gunpowder Falls State Park I stopped for gas at a funny gas station in north Baltimore. It was funny because it was just a tiny bullet-proof building for the clerk with a whole bunch of soda outside, some in fridges and some two-liters just sitting in cases. I paid for my gas with a twenty and got back a two-dollar bill as part of my change. Super cool! Contrary to the recommendations of the Treasury in the above link, I am not going to spend it but rather put it in that glass jar where I stuff tiny cool things like funny-shaped rocks, a whistle that says "Blow the whistle on the Republicans," and a bona fide Mao pin that Sasha gave me.Maia was over for dinner, as Monday nights are now Grant's cooking night. I've taken Thursdays. While she and I were waiting for everyone else to come out on the back porch, I pulled out my wallet and said, "oh let me show you this!" "What, a two dollar bill?" she joked, and she was right.
But yeah, it was nice to see my parents. They're fun.
p.s. Sasha - Over dinner Tim Kennel mentioned your grandmother's passing.
