GE is running a new series of ads for "ecomagination." I don't so much care what it is, but they have a new ad out that I think is just fabulous. Set to the song "Singin' in the Rain," it's a little elephant dancing around in rain puddles in a tropical forest. It's honestly the cutest damn thing I've ever seen. You have to see it on TV to get the full effect, but you can also check it out on their website.

It's a beautiful day in Florida: the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the tree frogs are barking, and because of the nice breeze and relatively cool temperatures (the high for today is "only" 86!), we've got the windows open and the fans on. Unfortunately, the backyard neighbor is gardening with manure. So the smell of cow shit is wafting through my office window as I work. Ahhh, nature.
