Kevin Kane 5/26/2017 4:17 PMBees are truly awesome creatures. I do not understand how we can put short term profits and greed above the survival of bees, ecosystems and ultimately people. We must rapidly end the use of neonicatinoids. We cannot continue to allow corporations to rule the world. -
Kevin Kane 5/24/2017 8:13 PMOur team has won two daily prizes...Yeah Lori ! -
Kevin Kane 5/22/2017 9:53 PMThere used to be so many bees. One day when I was a kid, I bet my friends I could walk through a clover patch full of bees without getting stung, I had this theory if I held my breath they would not sting me.....I got stung about two feet into the flowers, my foot swelled huge, I could not walk and I had to pay off the bet. Today I could win that bet easily, there are few bees now in those clover patches. We act powerless in stopping a major cause of bee decline---Neonicicatinoids, a poison that messes with their synapses, they can no longer navigate if not outright killed. -
Kevin Kane 5/20/2017 10:26 PMDo be a do bee, don't be a don't bee. Romper Bomper Stomper Boo, tell me tell me tell me who, who do you see at play today ? She never said my name, I thought it was because I did not have a romper ball. -
Kevin Kane 5/19/2017 1:02 AMdaily check in at the bottom of dashboard gets the team 15 points, it seems to be independent of doing your daily challenges, so you can do it, it is an easy daily additional 15 points. -
Kevin Kane 5/18/2017 9:28 PMI am looking to find my Chelan County PUD power use by month, is it available from a database or ...? -
Kevin Kane 5/17/2017 9:46 PMMaybe, this is too obvious, but to do a short shower, I turn the water off and on. On to get wet, off to put soap on me and scrub and wash my hair ( what is left of it) then on to rinse, then off and fine la dulce vita.-
Kevin Kane 5/17/2017 9:47 PMYou will be hating it in winter !

Kevin Kane 5/15/2017 9:16 PMBees, we are doing awesome. I am going in search of challengers now, ten points a referral, just give them your email. Tomorrow I ride the bus to work and then walk a mile, have not ridden much since getting into a grinder with LINK. BTW they never have solved the problem of not enough bike carriers. But I have a car now that runs on electrons, so LINK i do not need you, but I will use you. -
Kevin Kane 5/14/2017 9:40 PMI like it. More one time and daily challenges shouid be considered. Varied points by challenge or time it teakes to do the challenge need to be identified and explained.. -
