A new pet peeve. Every morning during the week I drop Noah off at daycare. (I’ve expressed before how much I hate having to do this, but we’re not yet capable of making the lifestyle changes that not doing this would require as yet.) Every day I seem to see at least one parent who is dropping off their child—leaving their car running. To be clear: No child, person, nor pet. (And no accounting for the safety of that strategy.) No reason at all to leave the engine running. I’m not sure who it is, and I’m considering whether I should say something or not, but you’d think in this day of $3+ gas prices that out of sheer self interest folks would shut down their engine at every opportunity.

How about the environmental impact… which affects us all, and whose damage is not limited to the finances of an individual family?

What a waste…
