Pack a lunch and walk or bike over to the nearest park with the kids.  Clean the house.  Just do not do anything that requires the use of fuel.  Do not drive anywhere.  Do not drive to work or use public transportation.  Stay home and enjoy the day.

This is the only way to really say “Hey W, STOP buying oil on the open market to fill up the SPR, which is already 97% full.”  Or, “Hey W, ethanol madates!?  Hmm. Looks like that is a bad idea.”  Or, “Hey Saudi Arabian mysoginists, you will have to wait another day to sell us those 8 million barrels of oil.”  Or, “Hey idiots in Congress, maybe we ought to start looking to see what energy resources we have off the coasts or in Alaska.”

So make the decision to stay home, and pass the idea along to your friends.  People CAN make a difference.

We also went into the city to check out the Affordable Art Fair on the west side. My brother-in-law had some pieces in the show. Stayed at the Roosevelt. Had to cross the street to avoid the big funeral of the giant’s owner, cannot remember his name, Wellington? Checked out the Putnam County horse farm. Good trip.
