I already have my journal, which is full of serious environmental stuff, but I thought I'd start a 'fun' blog also. The thing is, a lot of funny stuff happens to you if you're Al Gore.
For example, Tipper and I still laugh about the time a couple years ago when our cleaning lady showed up to work driving a new Hummer H2. I mean, hello, can you say public relations nightmare? We got into this huge debate about what to do with it. Obviously we didn't want our maid driving a Hummer, but we also didn't want to sell the thing, or even give it away, because we didn't want someone else out there driving this monstrosity!!
We even tried calling Bill to ask for suggestions, but he wasn't much help. He said "I know a few girls who like hummers," and then laughed at his own joke for at least a full minute. Seriously? You can't even make this stuff up.
Finally we came up with a solution that we thought was pretty awesome. We took out the engine and gave the Hummer to our maid's brother so he could start a business giving horse-drawn Hummer rides around downtown. It pretty much seemed like a win-win for everyone! Unfortunately that guy later got busted for running a cock-fighting ring... I'm telling you, it's always something.
