This is a fun little test. Take it, and let me know who you are: Pooh, Tigger, Eyeore.

Can you guess who I am? That's right. Pooh.

ANSWER TO THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY AND EARTH-FRIENDLY FRIDAY

ANSWER TO THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY: It's in Dillon, Colorado: The Arapahoe Basin, with a summit elevation of 13,050 feet.

NOW FOR EARTH FRIENDLY-FRIDAY: I thought I'd start a post with links to other sites that have some great information about living green. Here's one and here's another: who wouldn't love Eco-Women: Protectors of the Planet?

Please add some more links to my COMMENTS section so I can add a sidebar with linkage love.

Thanks to all who participate.

Portland, Oregon (Is it P.O. or BO 'cause that just stinks)

Thought for Thursday: What ski area is the highest in the United States?

Come back tomorrow to find out the answer. But first, take a guess.


And now, this is one of those things that makes you say, "HUH?"

I told you all how Portland is one of the top ten places in the country where you can walk around the city, well now they say Portland is the unhappiest place on Earth, according to Business Week. Huh???

How can this be? We have the riverwalk, the Esplanade. Portland is beautiful, an hour to the snow covered mountain, Mt. Hood, one and a half hours to the beach, 2 and a half hours to the desert, and we are smack-dab in the valley, with the Gorge being famous for windsurfing. How can anyone be unhappy here?

Answer to Word for Wednesday

ANSWER: Entropy is the dispersal of energy. Read all about it here. One of the ideas involved in the concept of entropy is that nature tends from order to disorder.

The second law of "thermodynamics" (therme=heat + dunamis=power) is the science of the power or energy contained in heat. Entropy is wasted energy.

Poetry Northwest and Word for Wednesday

My friend Jacqueline, me and my husband went to Happy Hour at the Blue Monk to meet up with loyal listeners (readers) of Poetry Northwest.

The Blue Monk has open mic poetry readings on Wednesday nights and the food is good too - which is always a plus in my chubby little brain. So we went to feed our minds with a little literature and our bellies with beer, wine and other libations.

It was a fun night out. If you're interested in subscribing to the magazine you can do that on-line or at Poetry Northwest, 4232 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR 97215

WORD: Entropy

Take a guess. I know there are a few of you who know what it is. Come back around 3:00 and I'll tell you.
