UCSD Trees



Just because I watched a wildlife movie - about the Alaskan wilderness, a couple of animal preservationationists, and the bear who ate them -doesn't make me call myself an environmentalist. But I'm not against the environment. What I am against is UCSD cutting down more of the last twenty or so trees that they have left on campus.

I'm exagerrating, but one of the major reasons why this campus appealed to me when I was in high school was because it seemed like the students here went to college in the woods. Unfortunately the insectlike scientists and gladhanders who run this place aren't concerned about the looks of the place. As long as they can clear more land for another windowless structure to run experiments in, these badly dressed geeks are pleased as junebugs. In addition, their piles of chopped-up trees are obstructing my shuttle from transporting me with its usual punctuality. History will judge us.

But I've got to keep an eye on myself in the Mr. Natural department; last night I spent an exorbitant amount of time preparing lentils for stewing and to the detriment of other activities. I even used soy bacon into the crock pot with the lentils for flavoring. Intervention session ahoy.
