Ever heard of slugging?
I wrote about worms, but I never heard about slugs.
What is Slugging?
Slugging is a term used to describe a unique form of commuting found in the Washington, DC area sometimes referred to as “Instant Carpooling” or “Casual Carpooling”.
Check out their website. Or check out this map with slug lines.
The website says taht slugging is only used in Northern VA or DC.
In July I started a worm composter. In Vancouver 45 percent of the garbage is organic material. So if we can compost we can significantly reduce the garbage in our dumps. I started the composter because I wanted to do something beneficial for the enviornment. However, it all changed just a few weeks ago when I harvested some of the vermicompost (the soil created by the compost). It was amazing for me to see all the different stages of the worms’ life. I saw the little eggs, then I saw some worms that has just hatched and some teen worms and adult worms. It was beautiful. I don’t know how to describe it. It blew me away to see how this rotting fruit can become the very soil for nuturing life. What a beautiful picture of life.
On on another topic I was in Eugene, OR last week. Alex and I got to see Ice Cube’s School of Rap. I really liked the way he interacted with kids. I think I would see it more often. It was cool to see how Ice Cube can encourage those kids that are a little insecure and need a little push. It seems like a lot of performing arts is about being confident in yourself. That is a hard step to take for kids that are talented but are very shy. I only saw part of the show. Sadly in Canada we don’t get this show. Maybe when I move back to the states I can see it.
