Once you wean yourself off cars, you realize how unnecessary they are for day-to-day life.
I am involved in animal rescue– specifically, Ferrets North Information and Rescue Society. It’s an organization set up by my partner.

It’s rare that a seven-minute video will get me to change… anything. Today, I share with you one that did. It belongs to Dave Meslin. He used it in his Ted Talk, which is below. I watch Ted Talks all the time and like all of them, but for me to write about one here, […]
