semi-concrete documentation

you know that feeling of disbelief you get when you actually start doing something you always said that you'd do but never really started? well i'm swimming around in that very feeling right now.

as it turns out, my initial email to the guy at the sierra club didn't pan out all to well. the response can be paraphrased as "sounds like you have a lot of enthusiasm, but i'm afraid i don't have what you're looking for. you should probably contact your city councilor. are any of your ideas directly related to our current campaigns?"

but i wasn't deterred. i actually sat down and wrote out the details of what it is i'm going to do here and sent them all out his way. 3 out of 4 of them are related to what the sierra club is doing here so we'll see how that works out, and in the mean time, i now have a written copy detailing all my plans here. next up, i'm going to detail this stuff out a little more, even make a printed (what kind of environmentalist kills trees? suggestions please) copy and then setup a meeting with my local councillor.

at the very least, this should be exciting...
