Kick in the pants

What quote am I vibing? “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month." Theodore Roosevelt

Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild since Last Post: 107

Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild in 2022: 479

All-Time Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild: 2845


Other Cool Numbers.

Total from Bob Graham Beach Parking Lot Pickup: 250 Pounds (over 9 cleanups)

Total Neighborhood Cigarettes Picked up During Earth Month: 1373


Almost two months since my last blog post, and so much has happened. Earth Month is over. May has come and gone. I've turned 40. I've started swimming lessons. The Environmental Stewardship Awards have happened. Many things.


My admiration for the good things that Theodore Roosevelt believed in was renewed during the 5-hour History Channel special about his life and Presidency. His belief in a "square deal" for everyone, and his willingness to take on big business run amok would be very appreciated right now. It would take him a minute or two to settle into modern society, but I think he could do it. 😀


Unfortunately, reflection and meaning live in moments, not months, and I have exhausted my brain with all the photo uploading and labeling, so I leave you with a kick in my own pants to be more consistent with posting. Talk soon!
