 -- Quote of the Day --  Re: Writing Schedules:   “ I must behave rather as dogs do when the  retire with a bone,  they depart in a secretive manner  and then you do not see them again for an odd half hour.  They return self-consciously  with mud on their noses.  I do much the same. ”   ~ Agatha Christi This is kind of how I feel today, in fact. I just completed a blog interview piece that will be published later in the month and some of the behind-the-scenes set-up for a radio interview later this week... and once I've completed a form for my publisher I'm off to work on Book #2 of the Trash Talk - It's Easy To Be Green series.  Sometimes I wake up in the office from the daze I am in and realize the real world is a bit hazy and out of focus. A little shake of the head, some sunshine and fresh air and I feel a little more "human", and able to function with the rest of you! lol -- Conscious Discussions Talk R...

(She laughs) …Cats, dogs, gerbils and other animals will just love unconditionally and we all crave that, and can never get enough of it. If you crave love, just go and find a furry friend to take care of and you will find a lot of love. …Visiting Humane organizations and rescue organizations will help you learn about how to take care of feral colonies… start by feeding and getting to know them, …you really need to get right on the trapping and neutering right away – the most effective way of reducing the issues the colony will face.” Rosie Sorenson ~ July 20 2010  Today's quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show interview that aired back on July 20, 2010 titled: Kitty Rescue & Colony Aide   Check it out by clicking on the hyper-linked show title, or locate recently aired Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episodes v...

The trial project allowed the industry to test out the logistics of changing over to electric power and the financial impact of switching over the entire fleet. This exciting test project may just influence the world's leading taxi services to switch over to electric powered vehicles ...
