Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

Out of the Mouths of Babes

This past Friday evening, Bill Mahr in his HBO show said what worried him most was the environmental issue. It seems the sun’s rays are reflected off the white ice of the North Pole, and even from the time when the movie of Al Gore came out, a good percentage of the ice has melted. Bill Mahr said something like, “Forget the flooding; without the ice, we’ll boil.”

My neighbor says, his eleven year old granddaughter who was visiting him heard this discussion and volunteered a solution. “Why don’t everyone donate their white bed sheets to cover the place instead?”

Alas! I lucked out with the donation issue. All our sheets are totally in colors and prints.
