Here’s educator Rebecca Warden on her version of the “Inconvenient Truth” tour, speaking to young people about the importance of subtracting – reducing, taking away, lessening, minusing.

Al Compas De Mis Recuerdos. Why are there always records laying around on the floor?   Check out the groovy portable turntable with the removable speakers. Check out the babe. Check out the dude with the blue stocking socks, the tall cocktail, the cigarette and the far away look of a guy enjoying his groovy portable turntable, his hot babe, his cocktail, cigarette, tight fitting, powder blue stocking socks and albums spread on the floor around his feet. Ahhhh, life IS good.
