• I finally figured out that AB 32 is actually supposed to put people out of work.  If you don’t drive to and from work, your carbon emissions are significantly reduced.
• I read an article where local “First 5” Commissions are reducing budgets because they are funded by taxes on cigarette sales, and less people are smoking.  There is a lesson to be learned here – I’m still thinking about what it is.
