We are also looking into the possibility of making the bookmarks available to those who order from local bookstores, and will make further information available. Thank you for asking.

On the other hand, I did not even notice that Evan put the link to RozCast in the upper right corner of your blog page. Sometimes, the obvious is difficult to see ... the eye just looks past it.<br /><br />Hope your cloud conditions permit a glimpse. Odd are you won't see the crescent as early as even a half hour before sunset with a pitching boat. It takes steady focus and scanning so you are at a definite disadvantage if you are rowing and focused on an undulating sea. Depending on the clouds and whether you stay on deck past sunset, you may get a nice view of the crescent. Please tell us the time and cloud condition.<br /><br />Your course is looking great, Roz.UncaDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877671645697493385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-5168191748990903652009-07-25T05:08:37.909+00:002009-07-25T05:08:37.909+00:00I'm somewhat in the mode of thought as Stormcl...I'm somewhat in the mode of thought as Stormcloud - the planet is a big thing. are we really damaging it all that much with anything we do? i wonder what kind of "pollutants" get naturally emitted into the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions? or naturally occuring fires, which i'm willing to bet have been "naturally occurring" for thousands of years. i recently came across a blog post from 2002 at this address: http://contenderministries.org/UN/gaia.php<br />Roz, i know you cannot hit links, so FYI, this link essentially says the "green religion" and Al Gore and the whole "environmental movement" is pagan earth worship and is as old as time itself. it is anti-christian and puts blame on christians. <br /><br />now, all that being said - i'm all for conserving resources, not being wasteful (for common sense and economic reasons) and for exploring renewable energy sources (wind and solar in particular). But my motivations are purely logical - given the high cost of oil and the whole political and economic cost of maintaining the cost of oil (whether you believe there is a conspiracy to keep it high, or keep it lower than it otherwise would be), the current options for wind power are ECONOMICAL in certain places. A comparatively MODEST government subsidy - one time 30% credit - makes the math work for investors. <br /><br />But that doesn't mean I'm worshiping mother earth, or anti-christian. <br /><br />I guess my point is let's not get carried away and re-use plastic plates until they break down and we end up ingesting them (think of the potential effect on our own health in that case!), and let's be sensible and conserve safely and invest in sustainable developments. It doesn't mean we worship earth and turn from God, it just means we're not abusive and irresponsible.pannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12184703009012500966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-65983227449513187662009-07-25T03:39:16.305+00:002009-07-25T03:39:16.305+00:00A thank you for your blog is at http://reactionsto...A thank you for your blog is at http://reactionstoreading.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/i-keep-coming-back-for-more/Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-18949118198873964292009-07-25T03:10:37.298+00:002009-07-25T03:10:37.298+00:00Roz, I have been following you faithfully since yo...Roz, I have been following you faithfully since you left SF in May, and I am in awe of this journey that you are on!

So, I thought I would stop lurking and just send you an email. You are in my thoughts a lot, and every day I check your blog and tracker to see how you are doing.

I'd like to pre-order at my local bookstore to spare the plastic shipping packaging. If not, I can make a small exception. Also, if I emailed an acknowledgment of my pre-order from my local bookstore, as opposed to amazon.com, would I still be eligible to win a Larabar bookmark?<br />Thank you,<br />Jonathan GrimaldiJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406127137865554941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-45597180318230779732009-07-25T00:48:49.168+00:002009-07-25T00:48:49.168+00:00Sad to say that today you still can't get to r...Sad to say that today you still can't get to rozsavage.com <br />if you row using Internet Explorer.<br />You can if you row with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. <br />I know I can fix it but don't know how to contact the technical team.

I've been told that humans are a scourge on the planet, we're so evil and uncaring, and stuff like that--but, aren't we part of nature, too? Isn't everything we do a part of Mother Nature's plan, plastic and all? Don't get me wrong, I do believe we should do everything to take care of the planet . . . but are we really taking care of it? Or are we just making it better for ourselves? I'm sure life would learn to exist on a planet with a sick atmosphere, and some plants might die from cleaner air. Who knows. These thoughts and stuff have been kind of confusing me for a long while, but I've never been able to ask anyone about it. So, what's your take on this? I don't know if it's a too complicated question or not, because I honestly don't know that much about enviromental, er, stuff (good thing I've found your blog, no?) so, answer at your own leisure!<br /><br />I think the motive for me is like you pointed out a few blog posts ago. I'd like to breathe cleaner air and have less human disease. And I feel the world is going to change with or without me (it is its own entity, after all), and all I can do is prepare myself for the change, and hopefully take as many animals with me through the change as I can :3 (I would hate to live without elephants! I love elephants!)<br /><br />Hope I explained myself okay . . .Brittney Mattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912945761211018438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-90339642808142333462009-07-24T15:36:18.357+00:002009-07-24T15:36:18.357+00:00Good news! 4:48 AM breadcrumb appeared 5 miles due...Good news! 4:48 AM breadcrumb appeared 5 miles <b><i>due south</i></b> of where last night's blog was posted.<br /><br />Drifting [hopefully sleeping soundly] Roz just crossed 04'30"N.
