"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."

Major props to Tasara for getting us in to a super event, to wit, the Academy of Hope Spell Bee, hosted by NPR's Ray Suarez and judged in part by Harvard House resident Tim Kennel. As my sister would say, "what what." As always, Reddekopp is the place to go for fun.In other super news, that apartment is going to work out. I got the call last night. This is so exciting. A nice one-bedroom in a cool neighborhood right off the 86A bus line. I will have a truck and a job and a place to live. What more is there to ask for? Of course, the place will probably be pretty depressing: a used futon and a TV on a card table. It will be hard to justify more furniture for four months. But that's okay, as I'll be happy. Just won't be able to have many visitors.
Derailer broke on my bike today. Chain Reaction people say they can put a used one on for $20, including labor. Metal fatigue happens.
Over the next week I'll be on spring break. Lancaster for this weekend, then New York from Sunday to Tuesday, then Boston until the weekend. Let me know if you'll be around. Flying back on Saturday. Haven't been on a plane since October. I like flying.
