I find it amazing so many in this country believe that their overconsumption here has little or no effect on the planet or others. Worse yet are those that just don't care. While our lives may be relatively short, our legacy will live on. Will we leave a legacy of being pigs and wasting resources needed for the future. Will our legacy be finally the generation that caught hold of the idea of preservation and conservation. Most certainly our economy is not based on conservation, but rather overconsumption. Maybe, just maybe it is time for us to wake up.

Tomorrow we start a two week vacation tour. We will start out in Williamsburg, VA. We will do the early American colonial tour and one day 50 mile round trip from Colonial Williamsburg to Jamestown. Then it is over to Chesapeake Bay for about four days of bicycling and then to Myrtle Beach for a week. It will be Radonr's (6yo son) birthday while we are in Myrtle Beach and he gets his choice of activities for the day. I plan to run at least three days during this vacation along with our bicycling activities. I will post more about the trip as it progresses and maybe post some pictures.

Wow, Burger King is giving away a Hummer H2 in its new Indiana Jones giveaway. Well, this is enough to make me never buy from BK again. McDonald's is giving Hummers away in its Happy Meals. I will never buy from them either. A poor choice promoting another poor choice. It is no wonder some people shake their heads at our American attitudes. I am sure no one reads my tripe, but if you do, please boycott these two establishments. There are exponentially better food choices anyway, both for health and the environment.

Just looked at a brochure for this years ride of a bicycle ride we did last year and saw our family picture inside. Almost threw it away as we would be unable to attend this year due to conflicts, but instead looked inside. Wow, hate to miss now, we would have been the family riding a tandem with trail-a-bike that was in the brochure. Maybe we can do it next year it was a fantastic ride. Here is a link if interested. It is the Greene Trails Classic in Xenia, OH. We are the three at the bottom.

Well, had a blast in Key West. Now we are slowly moving northward again heading home to the "real" world. I am continuously firming up resolve in issues I did not make as much progress in during last year. Have been setting here answering some work emails, though trying not to get involved too much. Monday will come soon enought. I will look to add a couple of Key's pictures to the blog later.
