    Bees 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.

    There 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.

    daily 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.

    Maybe, 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.

    Bees, 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.

    The ecochallenge kickoff was this evening, it was cold, not so wet,  it was a good time.  Signed up lots of new challengers.  Filled our team with one more to get to a full team of 15.
