Rocks Made of Plastic Found on Hawaiian Beach

Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Good morning, Happy Wednesday
Good morning, Happy Hump Day. Today is a nice morning after the storm. A bit chilly but not that cold. The snow has been cleared from the sidewalks and the roads are fine. Walked down to the express bus this morning.
Yesterday’s snow storm was seriously downgraded but ultimately in the suburbs we got 6-7 inches of snow. Wish it was more but at least everything was cleaned up quickly.
Dug out my truck and the bus stop last night, so I’m ready to go on Saturday with the truck when I want to head out. We might get a little more snow before then, but it shouldn’t be much more then a dusting based on the current forecast.
