nobody@vox.com(The Green Girl) — Sun, 04 May 2008 11:17:19 -0700

We found this baby yesterday in a parking garage, under the rear wheel of a parked car. Normally, the rule is: never, ever, ever, take a wild animal out of its natural habitat. But a garage hardly qualifies as nature, does it? Anyway, we took...

Preaching to the Converted

nobody@vox.com(The Green Girl) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:27:14 -0700

Yay, Earth Day!

Founded by some senator named Gaylor Nelson in 1970 - a year of Vietnam protests, Apollo 13, the Beatles' last album, and the death of Jimi Hendrix - this day of environmental observance has been growing steadily ever since. According to Wiki...

Cramping My Cyber - Style...

nobody@vox.com(The Green Girl) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:37:43 -0800
