the weekend is over already. Lots of stuff accomplished. The white chair is gone. The rocking chair is in the living room, ready to rock. The closet reorg has begun. We have started emptying out the chest of drawers for the baby. I caught up with lots of friends this weekend. A good weekend.
Oh and my leg is healing finally.
How was your weekend?

google map envelope: free
How cute is this? You put in an address, then it pulls it up on Googlemaps. Then you click print, and you can turn it into an envelope! So fun.

amazing
So, last year DC enacted a 5 cent rule for every bag used in the District. The Anacostia Watershed Society was a large part of this effort. We are supporters of this organization.
In their newsletter today I learned this tidbit of information (remember DC has 600,000 people living here, with as many commuting into DC daily):
Since the law took effect: The MONTHLY plastic bag usage has gone from 22.5 MILLION bags per month to just over 3 MILLION bags used per month! This is amazing.
The average plastic bag is used for just 12 MINUTES and can persist in the environment for between 25 to 50 years.
The bag fee has generated only $150,000! This money goes to clean up the Anacostia. They expected bag use to generate more money, but the drop off in use has been greater and faster than projected.

my brother's new shop
My brother, John, has spent months putting together his new website Idaho Fly. Click here to go to the site. I am super proud of all of his hard work. I really hope lots of people will go to his site and buy lots of flies. He is located in Boise, Idaho. The website has all kinds of fly fishing goodies, and he is happy to give lessons in fly fishing as well.
