July 2005 Where did June go? Is time really accelerating or is it just me? There is one book I can't recommend enough for everyone to read: The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight: The Fate of the World and What We Can Do Before It's Too Late. Every human who is alive in 2005 should read this book. Especially every American. If I could buy copies of this book for everyone I know, I would. Instead, all I can do is push it. Recycle, reuse, reduce, remember what the real source is. And while I'm against Monsanto, multinational corporate agribusiness and genetically-modified food, I do advocate the making of square eggs in the privacy of your own home, with a handy $2 device called the Egg Cuber. Despite what the box may show, no hens were harmed in the making of these bulbous square eggs. These mod eggs can easily be dressed up and made into International Party Eggs.

Why do they like this position so much? We call it the "Twisted Eagle"
because they are spread-eagle, with a twist. Squeaky is the Master Twisted Eagle.
HOW can that be comfortable?

I celebrated by watching the sunset over smoggy L.A. and documented the moment with 21st century, state-of-the-art digital technology.
Compost it, dude! Don't throw away those kitchen scraps when
you have a garden and worms hungry for the carbon and nitrogen
of banana peels and dead leaves. Click here to view closeups of
the compost bin (might be gross).

Clean Coin, clean as ever. The heavenly, godlike whiteness is too much for Sean to bear. Godliness, cleanliness...all available for mere quarters.
