So yeah, I haven't been LJing much lately, and that makes me kinda sad. I really should have while I was in Canada, but I really just didn't want to spend too much time on the internet while I was there.
I had such a great time in Canada! I don't have much time to write about it now but I'm gunna post all about it tomorrow. Right now I'm in Wilton, NH at Rose's house one last time. It was crazy, I went to Lydia's house like 2 days before Canada, went to Canada for a week, then stayed at Rose's, Lydia's, and her friend Ross's house I think for the next few days, then was planning on staying at Rose's house ONE night on Wednesday but decided to stay one more, then my car broke down right outside Rose's house last Friday. I was then planning on leaving Monday when it was done, but ended up giving in and staying until now. I stayed a few nights at her house in Rindge, one here in Wilton, and one in Lempster at Ross's. It's been a crazy and enlightening week.
I really need to write more about my life lately. It's changed so much, and almost completely for the better. I feel like every time I think for more than five minutes I get a crazy epiphany about life itself, and what I want to do with the limited amount of time I have on this earth.
So yeah, I'll write more about all that and all my crazy adventures tomorrow. Right now I'm just gunna curl up with Rose and watch Angel until we fall asleep.
Good night, t00bz!

This is a letter from my dad, David Roosa, to the Block Island Times. Over 15 months, he cleaned the beaches of the perimeter of the island, about 19 miles, single-handedly.
( Here's the article )
Let me emphasize that he received almost NOTHING for this. He was telling me about how some people have been saying that they assumed he was doing this to get money for the recyclables, but that's just rediculous. He worked out how much he was making in recycling compared to the amount of hours he's done this annd it turned out to be less than one dollar per hour. Would YOU haul hundreds of bags of trash in the middle of the summer for $1/hour? Probably not. I'm sure that if he wasn't getting anything at all he would still be doing it. He is doing this strictly for Mother Nature and for Block Island, and as a message to boaters everywhere to KEEP YOUR TRASH ONBOARD. The ocean may SEEM vast and it may be hard to imagine that you're making an effect, but you do.
From my own personal experience, I went on a trip to the Florida Keys to learn about this kind of thing. I went to a turtle hospital where they rehabilitate turtles who have swallowed things that are shown overboard. I'm very confident that if any boater who throws their trash overboard went to this place, they'd never do it again. They had actual articles that they'd removed from the stomaches of turtles, and to be blunt, it made me sort of ashamed of us. Keeping on your trash is onboard SO easy, and it saves millions of lives.
Please spread the word, feel free to send this article to anyone you know to spread awareness. here's a link to the article:

My mother and I are on a trip to Canada, the central purpose of which is to see Hamlet in Stratford, but we're doing other stuff too. Here's what we've been up to so far:

So I'm about to get on a little plane where the security was the woman at the desk saying "Make sure you don't have any liquids"... Oh well, who the hell terrorizes a flight to Greenland?
We leave at 10:10 and get there at like 10:08 haha cuzza the time difference. I'll be closer to US time, hours ahead.
Well, hope to see you in Kulusuk! Like I said, no security. I'vw waited my whole damn life to take this flight, so when the plane crashes down... (Take it, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) primroseburrows) Oh, irony...
