 Where? Surely in non sNOw afllicted areas it can be. :)

 bk>  Busy doing what? Watching the leaves change?

 Course not! You'd have a trained pig and go looking for $160,000
 truffles.
          
 bk>  Ok, just kidding. I know what you mean.

 I figured you did. :) BUt to be fair some folks can't meld with
nature and get a natural high. They'd rather drink beers inf ront of the
tube four hours at a time sucking cheddar dipped pretzels.

 Nod.. some of the hyperconvenience folks rationalize that well if
it's not pastic going into the ladnfill it's detergent... What they
don't know is there are bio safe cleaning products.

It'll be cute when doing things the hard way becomes a hobby..  oh
wait! It already is! The same way "eathing healthy food" is something
you do just for uh.. say.. Lent.... or respect the Erath on one day ay
year in June or is it May...  These one day a  year rspoectful
observances are  Suppsed to 'cleanse' the conscience.... and or give a
good reason to party! (With all the cute conveient wasteful party
items included.


I don't want to sound bitter but isn't it kinda "FUNNY" (not) when you
see Ads for safe the earth done up in Glossy nonbiodeagradable
magazines ... by the millions....

 Well loves y'all know who bats last and when humans finally drive
themselves after driving all othe ranimal life forms , to
extinction...  there's still be weeds and cockroaches.
