Earth Day 2023

and we are getting the first rain in weeks.  Very welcome, living in the middle of a forest on a dead-end road, one way in, one way out we dread forest fires.

I remember one of the first Earth Days.  In the Navy I was assigned about 20 sailors and given a section of the Naval base at Newport Rhode Island to clean up.  Area was right at a rocky shore line.  To set a good example "lead by example" I took a couple of sailors and headed for the roughest part covered by vines.  Two days later I was covered by posion ivy rash.  

So much for Earth Day!  But, I am a tree hugger and watch my carbon footprint carefully.
