Treehugger: TreeHugger 100-Mile Thanksgiving Challenge Beth and I are strongly considering taking the 100-Mile Thanksgiving Challenge. But it’s a bit difficult. (I guess if it was easy, it wouldn’t be a challenge, now would it?) So far we’ve found a decent variety of ingredients all grown or raised locally – beef and pork, mushrooms, cheese,… Continue reading Treehugger: TreeHugger 100-Mile Thanksgiving Challenge

what a day for geeks
In the same day, Apple has (finally) released the new Intel Core 2 Duo based MacBook Pro notebooks and the Mozilla project is supposedly releasing Firefox 2.0. Yikes! If I only had three grand sitting around in a bank somewhere waiting around to be spent on something… Oh wait, I do!
