I teach online marketing classes, and instead of skiing back up the snow road and hoping the Wonderdog doesn’t put me into the snowback, I’m putting the pedal to the metal getting a new presentation built. I’ve got a good bunch of students, which means I’ve gotta work extra-hard not to disappoint.
I’m late on the Class Stuff because I’ve been building behind-the-curtain Underground Stuff, and realizing life isn’t actually a box of chocolates (as Forrest noted); it’s more a series of dominoes, each one falling when the one before it decides to stop standing.
Still, I’m not so busy that I missed today’s Important, Life-Altering Fact: Americans graze their way through 100 acres of pizza every day.
Personally, I’d account for a half-acre all on my own if the L&T didn’t ride herd on me, which is yet more proof I married above myself.
What else have I got?
Way Upstream publishes a killer short poem (shame on you fly fishermen) and a photo. Be literate for a change and visit.
Ian Rutter wants 70 seconds of your day to put a good word in for the Tellico River’s Brook trout (the Underground loves Brookies), which are threatened by erosion and the resulting siltation. Get a move on, Undergrounders.
Bacon to Fry (one of Buster’s gang) writes about a bad forest plan and elegantly captures the frustration of fighting tooth and nail to preserve a watershed against stupidity and greed. Don’t miss it.
See you in class, Tom Chandler.
