I was given this shirt for volunteering for the World Environment Day event up in San Francisco, June 2nd '05.



This is an excerpt from my credit card bill. I'm fairly sure the Toronto I got a CD from is in Canada. I remember visiting the place in Mountain View, California. To add to the comedy the thing followed by NV, which I take to mean "Nevada", looks like a San Francisco, CA phone number.

  

The Laura Love CD sampler talks about her experience growing up in Nebraska. I picked up that and the Religion magnet at the WED event where I got the above shirt. I listened to it a few times and then mailed it off to New Zealand. The religion magnet is still on my filing cabinet.



The woman who gave me these coasters is a California Government Employee. I told her I wouldn't take any of her coasters unless she took a sticker, explaining that "customers stretch out behind me like a long stream of forgotten faces." When she had taken it, I had her read a NJ quarter and told her "we need a totally nonviolent revolution, the kind where the pun is mightier than the gun". She said "I'm with you there" or something like that.
