Hello all,
This here post is regarding this past Thursday, a half, but rewarding, day. With projected highs of 110 degrees, it seemed like a pretty daunting task to de-bark, carry, set and fill our remaining 7 (someone correct that number if I'm wrong) check-steps - but we overcame the heat and found the light at the end of the tunnel. We had completed our third and final project! What a relief that was, seeing as working into the afternoon would have been straight up dangerous. At any rate, we finished our trail and headed down the road to Lauren's house, where we immediately cooled down by the pool - taking hose showers and dipping our heads and feet into the refreshing water, ahhhh, rejoice. We spent the rest of our day writing letters to Exxon and participating in an Environmental Ed. activity in which the Mud Puppies assumed the roles of various individuals affected positively and negatively by climate change and conversed with each other, sharing stories of greedy oil tycoons, worrisome snow-leopard conservationists and apple farmers from Oregon. This activity allowed all of us to understand just how serious climate change is and how each and every one of us is affected by it. Continuing on the subject of climate change, we then lightened the mood a little and finished off our day by watching the wonderful movie, Ice Age. All in all, a very rewarding day for Team Swamp Dog.
Stay cool, all.
Zach
