Glad you’re feeling chipper! And thanks for posting about the Tribute – I donated $50 bucks to the cause. It’s not much, but hopefully it will bring Crunchy closer to her goal.

Beth, you are spot on about Crunchy being a nutty eco wonder woman :) But I have formulated the theory that she is but 4 chickens-in-one, and I am sticking with it!

Hey, did you hear that in Venice (Italy), they are giving every tourist a reusable water bottle and encouraging him or her to fill it at the city's public fountains, which have really good water (plus, just think of what historical or literary figures might have drunk from the same fountains!)

What happens in Italy is that the developed North's garbage gets disposed of in the less-developed southern part of the country by Mafia-controlled companies, and this has recently become a big issue.

Still, the bottles the Venetians are giving out are plastic. They probably don't contain as many chemicals as U.S. bottles, since the EU has much stricter rules on chemicals. Still, why not make them of beautiful Venetian glass? Then tourists would keep them as souvenirs!

Or they should just encourage everyone to drink wine and espresso. With those, who needs water?

After checking out the blogs of Crunchy, Chili, etc., I just realized what happened to all those girls who got A’s in class and contributed all the poetry and stuff to the middle school yearbook while we boys were having fistfights and sneaking cigarettes…they grew up to start blogs!

Great post, Beth. It is so true that Crunchy’s blog creates a community, rather than just readers.
