My bad for not posting this yesterday. For some reason I have it stuck in my head that Earth Day was usually in May and usually fell on a Sunday. Am I misremembering this? Yeah, a quick search of my favorite source, Wikipedia, indicates that I have indeed misremembered the fact behind Earth Day and that it’s always celebrated on April 22. Yikes. Well, good on ya, you small wet pebble (as Jupiter, one of the characters in the skit says before downing a slug of beer from a giant bottle). Enjoy.
