Day of climate action (with bonus: polar bear hot-or-not)

What impressed me most about the various climate change actions across the San Francisco Bay Area today was the variety, the creativity, and the energy.  I biked across the Golden Gate Bridge with a group of people who'd ridden 350 miles down from Arcata to San Francisco (I didn't quite make it 350 miles myself, but I did ride at least 3.50 miles three to five times).  A different group of 350 riders rode along San Francisco's potential future coastline wearing masks, snorkels, floaty-gear, and so on.  The guy who somehow managed to pedal around the city with 18-inch fins on his feet has my eternal admiration.

What did you do today?  Any interesting actions in your area?  Share!

I also saw two polar bears at the San Francisco rally:

I have to say that bear number 2's costume was unbelievable—just look at the claws (and you can see that the toenails were the same here).  This bear actually had to be led around by a helper, since the fur was so fluffy there was hardly any visibility through it.  Pretty darned impressive.

But bear number 1 had a better sign, wiped imaginary sweat from its brow, and was unquestionably the jauntier of the two.

So: bear number 1 or bear number 2?

A guy at Courthouse Square drove an SUV, with air conditioning running, even though its only 60 degrees, threw a McDonald's bag out the windows, lit up a cirgarette and pulled out a guitar and sang, "All they do is complain" from that Tim Robbins movie.

and they had an Earth Day Celebration thie year at a Mall, where my dad's farm used to be...sorry, I am very angry over this bs cap and trade and the cowardly as hell "public option" they are passing....

Bear number 1 or bear number 2? Why do I have to choose? Is this a trick question, like the 2008 Presidential elections?

I agree, I can't choose. They each have their own charm. I vote both!

Why do I have to choose?

Because I asked so nicely.

gfod, I'm with you—both bears are hot!

Like Ikeya in Kore-eda's After Life, I won't choose. Even if you ask nicely. I know the electric shocks and attack dogs come after the niceness.
