This is one of my favorite pandas I've done for PI. It kind of says it all and the black sleeves look like panda arms! I hope the new designs I donated do well for their fundraising efforts.
today is 'green up day' in vermont - everyone was out picking up trash. I greened up the entrance road to the statepark next door. I collected about a 1 cubic meter of cans, bottles, etc. Earthday is too early here for cleaning up - even today there were meter thick snowbanks on parts of the road (will have to go back and green these stretches once they melt). Also played disc golf at waterbury - won the front nine (by 5, had 4 birdies, kicking butt and taking names : ) and tied the back (2 birdies).
For our third street drop we decided the street wouldn't quite cut it so decided on a more natural habitat for this one...
Suzy here is what most people would describe as a 'tree hugger' but although she's concerned with the environment at large it's this particular tree she likes to hug. It reminds her of happier times.
She and Roche carved their names into it as proof of their love for each other. She hasn't seen Roche in over 2 months. He went to the shop for a packet of wine gums and some rizla and she hasn't seen him since. Poor Suzy. Poor tree. Poor Roche?
Cheers

By the 8th day of our trip, the rain had subsided a little and we did get out for a few hours. We saw a bald eagle soaring low alongside the highway near Bruce Crossing, but I wasn't able to get the camera set fast enough to take a photo. That evening when we were back at the camper, I carved the eagle stamp using a picture on a brochure advertising canoe trips.

St. Louis artists, Wiktor Szostalo and Agnieszka Gradzik 'Tree Huggers', Forrest Park, St. Louis
Wiktor Szostalo about the project: 'The Tree Hugger Project is an ongoing work of Environmental Art designed to help us re-discover our relationship with nature at a very personal and intimate level. Made from twigs, branches, sticks, vines and other natural materials, these playful sculptures remind us that we humans are still very much a part of our natural surroundings. They bring us back to childhood memories when climbing trees, and playing with friends outdoors was a part of our daily experience. Has anyone ever climbed a tree without hugging it?'

futurist-foresight: What a superbly innovative thermoelectric powered torch! futuretechreport: 15 Year Old Canadian Invents Flashlight Powered by Your Hand Another reason to be proud to be Canadian today! treehugger: Portable light sources have been one of the most evolving inventions in history — from the primative torches and oil lamps of yesteryear, to today’s battery-powered flashlights and headlamps. But through it all, most of these illuminating tools have required an outside energy source that would deplete when needed the most. But now, thanks to one particularly enlightened 15-year-old girl from Canada, your next flashlight just might be powered by the heat from your hand. Introducing, the thermoelectric ‘Hollow Flashlight’ — submitted for the Google Science Fair. — Teenager invents a flashlight powered by the heat from your hand
the art car we rode on at BM was for sale on ebay!
I remember this night well. We were out at the MOONSHINE SALOON drinking and were pretty hammered and decided to go wandering on the playa. This art car came upon us and we hopped on.
we rode around inner playa for a few minutes but the driver turned outward into the camps. He was driving around some ways that didn't seem like roads and ended up heading straight forward into a camp that was lined 10" up with flagged lines. It bowed right eye level to us riders up in the tree. The car slowed to a stop and the line groaned from being stretched so severely.
We didn't quite know what was going on but soon realized the driver was wasted out of his gord. LOL Quite funny.
