Mindy and I bought a Prius tonight. Did you guys know that car shopping is the most awful thing ever? It's stressful and hard to make decisions. Also it takes a long time to fill out all that paperwork.
After buying the Prius, I came to the harsh realization that I am becoming a hippie. It's so bad that I am pretty sure I have to dread my hair. I'm not really sure of the hippie protocol. Do I really have to listen to jam bands?
See, we started gardening a few years back. That was step 1. Then we started composting and recycling. That is step 2. Oh and we got a rain a barrel. Step 2.5. A couple of months ago we joined the CSA of a local farm and get all of our meat and eggs from them. ( Don't ever watch any food documentary that shows where the grocery store meats come from. Oh or the ones in fast food. Have I mentioned that I don't eat fast food either now? Those documentaries ruined my life)
And now this Prius has just pushed me over the edge to tree-hugging hippiedom.
But I really don't care, this mutherfuckin' car gets crazy good gas mileage.
It's required by law to dread your hair. Also, you must install low flow nozzles on all sinks and shower heads.
ReplyDeleteI'm down with the low flow nozzles, this dread thing is really going to fuck with me.
Deleteyou have to abide by the 'if it's yellow let it mellow but if it's brown, flash it down'school of philosophy...
ReplyDeleteFlush it down rather
DeleteI don't know if I am mentally prepared for that.
DeleteDreads smell and hurt when someone hits you with one. I am not a fan.
ReplyDeleteHitting people with my dreads sounds kind of fun.
DeleteIf you start smelling like patchouli oil I am staging an intervention. Be warned.
ReplyDeleteI will take note to not wear my patchouli oil around you.
DeleteHow many pieces of tie-dye do you own?
ReplyDeleteThose documentaries frustrate us animal scientists because they are very powerful, but unfortunately, not always accurate, and usually the producers have an agenda before they even begin filming, so naturally they seek out the worst case scenarios. We spend a lot of time educating the public with programs like "From Feedlot to Fork" and "From Pasture to Plate" to explain the process of how your meat gets to the store, but most of our "public" is farmers, so they already know this stuff.....Grrr.
Congrats on the car purchase! That's exciting!
Wow, I have total respect for you. That can't feel good, right?
