Rainbow
"Red sky at night/sailor's delight/Red sky in the morning/sailor take warning"
Can't remember the rhyme for rainbow. Maybe it was this:
Up above the streets and houses,
Rainbow climbing high,
Everyone can see it smiling
Over the sky.
Paint the whole world with a rainbow.
Or maybe it was: "pete gets soaked walking to work"
The US Defense Department is to hold a Q and A session on a $1 million contest to build a lightweight, wearable battery power system for US forces. Wage war and save the environment. Cool.
Make cities mobile: Severing car dependency
More silly environmental news: Surfers fear smaller swell as Atlantic wave farm approved. Tough.

Just Do It
Rock stars (particularly Any Winehouse): do drugs, please or you'll end up like Chris Bloody Martin:
"...every culture needs a totemic figure who is prepared to go into the wilder terrain of substance usage, a place where the rest of us don't want to or don't need to go."
Don't write off the internal combustion engine, just yet:
"The use of solar power for cars will stay marginal until 2020-2025"
Higher river levels as more CO2 makes plants less thirsty. So I don't feel guilty about not watering the tomatoes.

Splash
I had to wear a wet suit to work this morning.
It was a dry suit when I left home.
