Quote of the Week:

"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."

  1. Walking home from the Walgreens in Albuquerque we ran into this guy pushing a shopping cart. When he first slurred, "Can I ask you guys a question?" I thought, "Great! An opportunity to unload the pennies that have been accumulating in my pocket over the past week!" But he launched into a story.

    "So I was taking a dump in a backyard and this guy comes out and calls me 'asshole.' Now why would he do that? And so I says 'Hey Soldier, I'm not bothering nobody.' Then he says he's going to call the cops on me. Why would he say that? I wasn't bothering nobody."

    At the time my thought was, "Right on! You weren't bothering anybody! You were just taking a dump." Of course later Celeste pointed out that someone might not be so pleased to find a man defecating in his backyard.

  2. Near what used to be my house in D.C. there's a man sitting on a wall beside the sidewalk. He's wearing black jeans and a denim collared shirt. He has neatly trimmed hair and a beard. He speaks quickly and with an accent that's difficult to define (Greek?).

    "Cigarette for the homeless?" he asks quickly as I walk by. "Sorry, don't smoke," I say.

    Later I'm walking around the house to the garage. "Cig-oh you don't smoke," he says. He continues. "Let me tell you something, you are very handsome." "Well thank you, and yourself as well," I reply. "No, leadership cannot be handsome," he says under his breath, and continues "I tell you, you could be a Roman Centurion." "Thank you," I say and I go to get on my motorcycle and ride it for an hour. It starts without difficulty.
