I am ALTERNATIVE ENERGY.

Some of you may recall (or have noticed) that I fell in love with this image from the cicle site.

I love what it means, of course. In my case, that I’m using my bicycle to run errands (utility cycling) whenever possible, even if that means I don’t allow myself to go to the p.o. box unless I’m on my bike, even if I miss a couple of days and then have to make two trips.

In an effort to spread the word in a way which I believe follows the spirit of the cicle site and its efforts, I’ve created an “I am ALTERNATIVE ENERGY mug” on café press, and am making it available for purchase at zero markup. It’s not to make money for me, but just to make a very cool image available for purchase, and to get the word out there in the workplace and homes and wherever else you might use the mug –

YOU CAN BE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY!

Walk, ride, hop, cartwheel!

Do whatever it takes to replace fossil fuels in your life, and decrease our dependence on foreign oil and destroying the wilderness to get to more of our own.

It’s spring. Dust off your bike. Buy one at a garage sale. Buy a spiffy expensive new one, or a cheap one.

The best part?

It’s fun!

“The officers reacted because they were called to this location to do this job. Now they’re being put under a microscope by some fancy little football person,” he said. “Give me a break. Those officers are 10 times better than this man. … We police officers don’t go out to these calls and make stuff up.”

Now, believe me, I don’t blame Senior Corporal Glenn White for being a bit, shall we say peevish? Over the fact that Terrell Owens’ PR person Kym Etheredge claimed the police reports of his “suicide attempt” were inaccurate. (Of course, T.O. himself only says he doesn’t remember any of it.)

But really — “fancy little football person?”

Not to be out done –

Terrell Owens placed “Fancy Little Football Person” T-shirts in several of his teammates’ lockers this afternoon….

In other news, we’ll be on our way home from Austin and listening to T.O.’s Philly homecoming on the radio.

That’s okay. It’s a good broadcast.

And Dallas is going to win.

In the meantime, I’m still giggling over “fancy little football person” t-shirts.

Oh hell, I couldn’t resist!
