  There are ways to write to Verizon W also. It just boggles my mind that people are insistent climate change is a hoax and the evidence has been slowly, steadily, accumulating for decades. I'm not saying any one particular model/set of predictions is right. I'm just saying that there's significant existing evidence of change in the past century(based on my reading of the journals, mostly in the 1990s and intermittently in the '00s; I tend to not rely on the news media/press release versions), and definite increasing understanding of interconnections and synergistic feedback, and what we seem to understand at the moment leads to some pretty serious outcomes (even the "mild" ones), even when we change our choices and lighten our individual, corporate, and aggregate effects.

  I'm not a very confident cook. I don't enjoy cooking meat (one of the reasons is the ecological costs I'm causing without necessarily bearing). However, that aside, apparently I am occasionally competent at both. Yay!
