I was cracking open a new roll of toilet paper, purchased at the discount store, and feeling guilty because I’d usually buy recycled paper products only right now, I have no time. No doubt it was made with new forest “materials” (that would be trees).

I remembered being in Alaska with Ruth, doing some TV work in the early 90’s, and interviewing a logger on the train who was snortingly angry about environmentalists coming up and protesting his livelihood. I mean, he said, You can’t wipe your ass with a spotted owl.
