National Hanging Out Day!!


Did you know that the average North American uses more energy to run just their clothing dryers then a single African uses for everything over the course of an entire year? Kind of sickening.

Tomorrow is National Hanging Out Day! Energy activists have decided Thursday, April 19 2007 is the day to air dry your clean laundry!

I love this idea! I personally can not hang my laundry outside...living on the 11th floor of an apartment building makes it impossible. I do however, use a clothing rack to dry over half of our cloths. This saves heaps of energy not to mention loonies! If we ever are able to buy a home, I will be hanging our cloths on a cloth line, that is if the community we end up in allows it. Yup that is right, in some of the newer communities, you are not allowed to do so...

The Tymkehl Fishbowl

Life in the tymkehl fishbowl has been uber busy this past month…I am getting double the work load in my lab and do not have enough hours in the day to do it all. Who really wants to hear all boring details? No one I know.

El nino is still messing with the northern hemisphere. We are never really sure if spring has sprung, although the moisture is needed. Easter came and went; the long week end did not seem long enough. The only thing I have to say for myself is that Blarg and I, amongst our super busy grown up type stuff that has been going on, have found time for some much needed comic relief... we have watch five season of Scrubs in a mere 3 weeks. We are currently half way through season 6…we are quite proud of this fact...right Carol?

That is it for now! Sorry Homie Bear that I have not been on the ball and updating the Fishbowl, but I have some ideas floating around for future posts! And Rubber Ducky, wiki-fix posts coming your way soon!

I leave you with a picture…a picture that feels like me at work…to many bananas, not enough monkeys, and people laughing and pointing at you…but really can there ever be enough monkeys?
