Funny story. I know of these people. They claim to be eco-friendly and generally “green.” They grow their own food (which, in the West where there is so little water, I find much like having a lawn in Phoenix, but regardless), and work for “green” companies, and buy organic food and Seventh Generation products. They talk about green living and energy conservation and hybrid cars (though none of them have any). They are typical greenies, living in Ft. Collins and enjoying the culture.

These same, nameless people, went to lunch the other day. The lunch place was three blocks from their relative workplaces. It was a little chilly, at about 20 degrees. So what solution do these “green” people choose? They drove to lunch. They drove a GIANT SUV to lunch. They drove a giant, COLD SUV to lunch, three blocks away, because it was too cold to walk. They had to walk at least two blocks from the parking garage where they parked to lunch. In the cold. Because it was too cold to walk three blocks from the office.

Is this not making sense to anyone else?


On a positive note, I thought I would share a sunset photo with you:
