an education

this week was the halfway point thru my first semester, plus it totally monsooned on Monday which, together, made it really seem like Fall. big sigh.

not to mention, a couple weeks ago we went to visit friends in Redwood City and they had the garden of Eden in their backyard, from which I came away with a bucket of figs straight from the tree and deez apples.


So on Sunday I put on a pot of apple butter and wrote my memo for Politics.

for this assignment, I had to pretend I worked for a German petrochemical corporation and I was proposing a strategy to evade an EU-wide carbon tax.



i learned its so much easier to be the bad guy because you have more options, like, totally having no scruples about screwing the environment.


thanks, berkeley.
