here's a link to my green bumper sticker trifle in today's la times mag. for those who don't know, the superbly done la times mag, WEST, insists the content be CA-based... if you've wondered why my send-ups are always about people who mostly live out here.

i've got some fun pieces in the new issue of mental_floss, as well. they should hit newstands sometime this week. and speaking of the floss, and the green band wagon: check it out, they're giving away a year's worth of FREE gas for one lucky reader!

just to thank all those who've been supportive recently:

the empire folk in london -- thanks for the love from across the pond.

sydney greene, who i met at a fundraiser and thinks i'm into the "green movement" 'cause i drive a hybrid -- thanks for the plug!

c. wayne owens -- thanks for the plug and the BIG book cover reprint.

and faithful hilary, who's been a big fan for over a year now -- thanking, thanking...
