Quiet Friday

Friday August 5, 2005

It seems like I never miss a Sunrise anymore. Saw the third one in a row today as I was up at 4:30 am for the 3rd consecutive pre-dawn jog. Like snowflakes, they're all different. Due to an early teeth cleaning yesterday and a car-maintenance appointment today I was unable to make my weekly jaunt to someplace really cool to run and take pictures so instead I'll share this quote from one of my favorite environmental activist groups the Sierra Club:

 "Devoted though we must be to the conservation cause, I do not believe that any of us should give it all of our time or effort or heart...Let us save at least part of our lives for enjoyment of this wonderful world which still exists. Leave your dens, abandon your cars, and walk out into the mountains, the deserts, the forests, the seashores. Those treasures still belong to all of us. Enjoy them to the full, stretch your legs, enliven your hearts..."
