Just randomly found your nice comment and appreciate it - extra votes during the time wouldn't have made a difference for me... but compliments always do :-)

That's great to hear - I'll check out your submission. I went to a McKinsey thing recentloy on global climate change, and there were some great things that people were doing in sustainable business. WalMart seems to be doing some incredible things, and the US AirForce is doing some very interesting things to lower its carbon footprint.

Thanks for the comment - I must admit I 'm pretty curious and haven't yet figured how spinach can sub for the silicon in photvoltaic cells, but love the idea that it all may lead to cheaper green power that it literally, er, green.

I'm dead serious. Really, I am.

Thanks for the nice comment - but every time I see anything from you I wonder why St. Augustine wants incontinence... Lack of chastity I get, desire for Depends, I don't.

I've been wondering that myself. I hope it isn't a pre-Marquis de Sade sort of theme. Yikes. I'm changing my quote.

In St. Augustine's day, continence referred to strength of character and exercising self-restraint, especially in regard to sexual passions. (cit. Random House College Dictionary)

Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense...

Hey, Theresa, I'd love to. And if you made it to the end of my submission, you know that the weather won't faze me (though the mosquitos might if I pick the wrong season to visit).

All the way to Fairbanks, baby.
You know what they say, Anchorage is as close to Alaska as you can get without leaving the state.
We like to tease our big city neighbors.

Hey, you're talking to someone who skied on the bay formerly known as Frobisher Bay at Iqaluit... with at least 6 ft of ice between me and the water, I hope. Fairbanks has to be more hospitable than Iqaluit. My fave thing there was the name of the native language: Inuktituk.

Do you get the Norther Lights there? They were so cool - very freaky and it ffelt as if I could reach out and touch them... ghostly tendrils.

Thanks Lynn - I must admit I did try to lose my accent when I moved to DC a decade ago and was trying to get work as a assistant associate press secretary for someone on The Hill. I failed. Weird thing is that the English hear my accent and assume I'm Australian and hence a bartender or nanny. Americans hear it and assume I'm English and at least 30 IQ points brighter than they would assume if I didn't have it.
