* Score one for the environmentalists. A judge has struck down an order that sewer sludge from Toronto continue to be trucked to a southeastern Michigan landfill. As much as I like Canada, they have a responsibility, like any other municipality or country, to tend to their own duties. The place that creates their own sludge should dispose of their own sludge, and not have second-party participation in it. Throngs of people in Michigan have protested regular waste coming in from Canada - this stop of sewer sludge is very encouraging.
Canada can be just as resourceful as we can in America. Why don't they show it?
* "Alleged" Tour de France winner Floyd Landis fails another substance test, and now might get that title stripped. He's already been kicked off his cycling team, and I say he deserves whatever punishment is warranted.
Committees such as the IOC & those who supervise the TDF races ought to really start examining our athletes as a whole. Over the last five years, how many investigations have there been into supposed foul play with illegal additives for the American athlete? Fair play must rule on all sides - there is no room for unfair advantage.
* Gas prices shot up twenty cents overnight for the second time in a month, and today marks the annual Woodward Dream Cruise (of classic cars) in downtown Detroit. Given the prices as they are now, will some of these cars, gas guzzlers as they may be, even be able to complete the whole route?
My favorite owned vehicle was a van from years ago. Now I'm glad I don't have it.
* Lastly, a work update: Afternoons are getting better, and I may be staying there. Something about adding three flights on day shift and spreading them twenty minutes apart - with our low staffing quota - makes me want to "revisit breakfast."
