One crazy morning

One crazy afternoon I decided to help in the fight for global warming. I decided to become a LEED certified architect.

I dashed out of bed and found a place to register for the tests and pick up my study materials. After feeding the dogs and eating a quick breakfast, I jumped into the car and to my suprise found out the car was broken. I only had a few hours before the registration office closed and I need to fix the car quickly.

I searched for phoenix auto repair shops in the phone book but soon realized it was much quicker and easier to just jumb online and Google it. I found a place that looked reliable and well priced so I called them and they arranged the towing and offered a shuttle to come pick my up.It worked out great because I figured I could pick up my registration and study materials and go to a coffee shop with my laptop and begin my figh against the globall warming crisis.

However, when the shuttle dropped me off I realized I left my laptop bag at home. Well, maybe it was better because this way I coud just study and not have to worry about searching the internet and getting distracted. the car took most of the day to get fixed because I had them install a converter that made my engine get 50 mile per gallon.

So what an afternoon! Not only did I start the process to get LEED certified, I also made my car “greener”. To reward myself I went home and turned the AC on full blast!
