This year marks the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street.
I love everything about Sesame Street. And I’m not alone.
It was a topic of conversation at work today. And now I’m very afraid that Linux Boy will be singing this for days:
As promised earlier in this blog, I did hie myself off to Bread and Circus Whole Foods in search of this much maligned Fentimans beverage.
And I found it. Two flavors of it, anyway.
I did NOT have to show ID.
However, we’ve decided that, Caution Being the Better Part of Valor, and All That, we’ll put off trying it until we’ve had enough time to consider all of the ramifications thoroughly.
Meanwhile, my gin & tonic is calling me.
We’ve had the electricians in, but you’d never be able to tell.
We kept the old fixtures, just updated all the old wiring… in the walls and in the fixtures themselves.
Good as new! 
You may have heard about the little brouhaha in our neighboring state of Maine around Fentimans Victorian Lemonade.
Well, turn-around IS fair play, and Fentimans responds on the front page of its website.
Well done!
I discovered this nifty little color personality quiz over at How About Orange…
My results weren’t surprising.
The colors were spot on.
But the interior pictured is a little disturbing to me. It’s like an anti-Kellypuffs interior.
THIS is a Kellypuffs interior:
I can just hear him thinking to himself:
“I’ll just have a bite or two … they won’t notice.”
Making “Holy Noise”
That’s what they’ll be doing on Sunday, October 24, according to the notice they left on my mailbox today.
Saturday, October 24 is a common call for Climate Action around the globe to reduce the planet’s concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is beyond what is healthy.
One symbolic action churches are engaging in is to ring their bells 350 times. Why 350 times? Scientists say that 350 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere is the safe limit for humanity. At the moment we are at 387 parts per million in 2009. If you would like to find out more, go to www.350.org.
It was nice of them to warn us … a neighborly thing to do, but really, totally unnecessary.
I love church bells. It’s one of my favorite things about living here. I love that the church bell chimes the hour around the clock. We’re particularly amused when it synchs up with the grandfather clock.
Ring them all day long if you like. We don’t mind.
I can only hope that the UCC and the Baptists are participating too.
