"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a coal-mouse asked a wild dove.
"Nothing more than nothing," was the answer. "In that case, I must tell you a marvelous story," the coal-mouse said... "I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk, when began to snow – not heavily, not in a raging blizzard – no, just like in a dream, without a wound, and without any violence. Since I did not have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles on my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952. When the 3,741,953rd dropped on to the branch, nothing more than nothing, as you say, the branch broke off." Having said that, the coal-mouse flew away. The dove, an authority on the matter since Noah's time, thought about the story for a while and finally said to herself, "Perhaps there is only one person’s voice lacking for peace to come to the world."

I have $2 a week trickling out to AVAAZ and a few to Greenpeace, and a few for forests and oceans. Money talks apparently, but mine only ever whispers.

Pimp My Attitude
You need to know, right now, this is all about me. I'm not educated. I don't have any (non-driving related) qualifications therefore, I'm not about to tell you what you should do - I know my place.
And here you are. At my place. So - welcome. If you're here for 10 seconds, I won't even know so I won't be offended that you left early. If you're here for hours and keep coming back, I will consider you a friend because the only thing my diverse yet loyal friends have in common, and what I appreciate most about them, is that they just keep coming back..
