Stuff white people like to worry about...

Although this used to be my travel blog, I am going to do a bit of blogging anyway, mostly to maintain my own sanity. I actually could blog about my most recent weekend away, as it had as many ups and downs as some of my travels this fall, and perhaps I will, but first, I wanted to do a slightly different entry.

While on our trip this weekend to Clear Lake, Ca (you should check it out if you like boats, trap shoots, walmart, pretty lakes, warm weather, and general slow pace of life) we decided we needed to start a blog about stuff we worry about.

So, I'm going to start it now and people can maybe add to it. Yes, this may be a copyright infringement on another blog, but I think I'm pretty small-time, so I'm not too worried about it.

1. BPA in water bottles.
This is a very big worry for white people. To the point that we all got rid of our nalgene bottles, bought sigg bottles, and now guess what? REI told me the other day, they stopped carrying the Siggs because they were having issues with the BPA. Nah-ah! So, I guess we're either supposed to go back to Nalgene (clearly marked with BPA-free) or do Klean Canteen. I am still using my Sigg, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time...

2. Arch support in our shoes- our backs hurt, need I say more?

3. Getting brain cancer from your mobile device.
We're supposed to be using our hands-free headsets, right?

4. The carbon footprint of getting the newspaper in paper vs. supporting journalism and paying for what you read.

5. How to eat few pesticides without breaking the bank.

6. Damage to our eyes from sun exposure.

There are lots more...
