Memorial Day Weekend and Number 7 bottles

Had a great weekend. Worked at UAS Community Day on Saturday, split the shift with Deana. It was actually pretty fun. We gave away a lot of leftover T-shirts, but did not give away our leftover water bottles because the sustainability people in the booth next to us said we could not give away toxic number 7 bottles (and then she walked away and lit a cigarette). Some articles:

• Is your nalgene bottle toxic? http://www.goodcleantech.com/2008/04/is_your_nalgene_bottle_toxic.php
• BPA and Nalgene http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/technical/bpaInfo.html

Other than that it was a good day.

Then on Sunday we invited people over to have turkey, yes turkey. Here in Juneau we are in the midst of an electrical energy crisis, and we are doing everything we can to conserve electricity to help keep our bills down. We wanted to turn off our extra freezer but in order to do so had to empty it out somewhat. Among other things in our freezer was a 20# turkey. We deep fried it outside and had a potluck. It was delicious, but took longer than we had expected to get ready.

Today we slept in pretty late, then David worked in the yard and I did a little work inside the house. We went to stupidtown (walmart) and then to Superbear and bought a hanging basket to put on the hook that hangs from the awning over our hot tub (and right outside our kitchen window) and then McDonalds. Then we came home and Tyler had a guitar lesson, while I stayed home and sunbathed (with baby oil----- I know, bad) and now I'm just doodling around on my computer.
