Nice!
Of course, here in Philly, Earth Day just hasn’t been the same since our local guru of all things counter-cultural, Ira Einhorn, organizer of the first Earth Day (1970), killed his girlfriend, Holly Maddox, and stuffed her body into a trunk on his porch to mummify.
Earth First!! We’ll strip mine the other planets later!
d&r…
I have a marvelous T-shirt from Earth Day 1990. It has Bart Simpson on the back saying “Save My Planet Man.” Since I only wear it one week a year, it’s still good.
Earth Day killed my cat because he died on Earth Day. (Yes I know that doesn’t make any sense but Shut Up!)
I go out of my way to destroy the earth on this particular day, at least whenever I’m reminded that it’s earth day.
twickster, isn’t Ira Einhorn the Zodiac/Unicorn killer guy?
**
Unicorn, yes, Zodiac, no (the latter was a serial killer in SF whom they never caught, IIRC).
Our boy Ira fled to Europe and hooked up with another rich blonde, this one willing to support him in the style to which he thought he was entitled to become accustomed. He was tried and sentenced here in absentia. When they finally found him living in the south of France, they had to work out a deal with the French authorities, because it was a capital case and Penna. has the death penalty, so France didn’t want to extradite. He has been returned to the States and re-tried and – surprise, surprise – found guilty again, despite his claims that the CIA did it and framed him in an effort to discredit him.
/hijack.
Happy Earth Day, all! 
My boss had to build a display here about the creation of earth day. I told him he might want to leave out all the stuff about Einhorn - boss didn’t know about any of that!!
