Where Their Wool Comes From

Patagonia just wrote a great article in their blog about New Zealand and the wool that they import from the South Island. Although they claim it is about the wool they use it is really a great story about one of the emplyee’s trip to New Zealand. It just so happens that he went to visit where Patagonia get’s their wool. Either way the between the pictures and the great detail about what an amazing place New Zealand is, I want to call up Christie and tell her that Syd, Maia and I’ll be in Christchurch tomorrow. Sadly, I’ll still be here.

It also reminds me of the night I spent on a sheep farm while on my cycling tour. It doesn’t seem like they spent the night on the farm - from my experience they were better off. Actually, it a great experience until the sheep woke me up with their bleating at about 5 am…

Sheryl Crow (yes that Sheryl Crow) has recently proposed “a limitation be put on how many Another idea of hers that belongs in the crapper is a clothing line with what she calls a “dining sleeve”. The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another “dining sleeve” after the diner has used it to wipe his or her mouth.

Who knew she was so stupid?

I Abstain

10:03 am, April 24, 2007 by jason in Rants, Rumblings

If I’ve ever discussed the election process in our country (especially the dismal turnout), I’ve probably mentioned wanting the desire to choose “I Abstain” as opposed to the lesser of two candidate evils.  I typically express this by voting for the underdog (typically Nader), but having this option in black and white will allow people to expressly state “These candidates suck.”

This option may soon be available in Florida, one can only hope it quickly catches on.  Maybe then our voting turnout will be closer to France where 84% of registered voters recently showed up for the primary election.  No wonder we all hate the French they are better at democracy than we are - and we started the process.
