CBC News:Martha Stewart charged in insider trading case

Today is Clean Air Day according to Translink and to thank us for our “clean commute” they were handing out buttons on a cardboard (didn’t a tree die for this?) with information on Clean Air Day and how if I wear my button for the next week I just may win stuff. This actually seems like a positive after some thought and a bit of an anti-corporation rant in my head. I know Translink is just trying to get more people on transit so they have more money to spend stupidly, but transit is a good idea anyway. Driving into Vancouver during rush hour on any given day is enough to drive anyone to be willing to sit next to a farty old woman on an uncomfortably undersized bus seat.

Randomly selected customers who are wearing the Clean Air Day button from June 4 to June 11 will be eligible to win one of many prizes, including:

• Monthly three-zone transit passes
• $250 toward the use of a Cooperative Auto Network vehicle
• A free month of Jack Bell Foundation vanpooling/carpooling
• Vancouver Aquarium tickets
• Movie tickets
• Tickets to various sporting events

Kind of cool. I just may wear the stupid button. I can always handle free stuff. PLus I do take the train everyday. I guess we are actually doing our part for the environment.

Clean Air day is sponsored by Co-Operative Auto Network, Jack Bell Ride Share and Translink.

No beer required. I feel woozy.

Thanks to Ken R for the picture.

Check out these yoga videos for you and your cat. Great for cat nuts. This guy’s cat is named Ovaria. Weird. Ovaria does not appear very happy.

Muhahahhahaha! Paul will love this one.
