Earth Weak

   With my big project at work implemented, the pressure is off but other
   projects rushed in to fill the time gap. We'll knock off another in
   two more weeks, ready for crunch time at the Legislature.
   Finally having some time to catch up, I see we're in "Earth Week"
   which started April 16th and ends on "Earth Day" itself, April 22. One
   day is not enough to worry about our coming demise unless we give up
   the Pursuit of Happiness.
   Actually, Earth Day no longer has much caché. Oh, there's the
   obligatory news stories here and there, a backpack item or two about
   some event, but the thrill is obviously gone. What to do?
   Pretend. Pretend the issues are so serious that one day is not enough
   to cover it all. Personally, I think this is just to bring the weekend
   into play every year, to boost attendance at whatever events are left.
   We should do the same, have a week long tea party around Independence
   Day.
