In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Buttheads 

The sunny is shining. The snow is melting, but it's in that icky stage: you know, garbage everywhere, and when you look down all you see is cigarette butts. Where do people think cigarette butts go, anyway? It takes anywhere from 5 to 200 years for a cigarette butt to decompose (depending upon the cigarette and the source—some parts of a cigarette butt apparently never decompose). I think all those people throwing cigarette butts on the ground should have to go around the entire planet picking up cigarette butts. I've been in the deepest darkest wilderness and have looked down and seen cigarette butts. It's disgusting.

Yesterday we drove an hour into Vancouver to get the car checked out. I followed in the old car to make certain Mario didn't end up stranded at the side of the road. Honda eventually found the problem: an exposed wire that kept shorting things out. On the drive home, the fog and clouds cleared and Wy'east (Mount Hood) stood out so glorious and beautiful in the afternoon light. She is covered in snow which is a good sign we'll all have enough water this summer.

Did you hear CBS has refused to run the MoveOn Bush in 30 Seconds ad during the Super Bowl? They say they have a policy of not airing controversial ads. Sounds like they have a policy of airing ads which agree with their corporate viewpoint. Does this mean the lie of the liberal media is finally exposed?

Hope you're all staying warm. I may be gone for a few days. I need some OM time, plus my wrist is bothering me. I just finished my library order and I input a lot of numbers—with my left hand. Besides, it is supposed to be sunny (albeit cold) for the next couple of days. I hope to be outside!

May you walk in beauty!
