E-Day Minus Two

July 1st is "E-Day" for me, the opening salvo in my light-hearted skirmish against petroleum-based transportation.

I had considered other names. "D-Day," though appealing to a history teacher, smacks of hyperbole. "B-Day" (for "Bike Day") might prompt confusion and unsolicited singing in restaurants. "G-Day" (for "Green Day") would conjure up either Australian folksiness in its abbreviated form or over-produced punk rock in its extended version.

So "E-Day" it is. "E" for "Energy." And, since I'll be blogging about the experience, "E" for "Electronic."

Today's forecast is thunderstorms. I'm preparing for a wet month.
