Carbon Foot Print - People-powered SMs
 
Always trying to be eco-friendly by using my vintage people-powered sewing machines, I was looking behind me as I walked, to see how my carbon foot-print was looking, and tripped over a handcrank sewing machine setting on the floor.

Now, after this test, my “carbon foot-print” looks more like the foot-prints of a competitor at the Track & Field Triple-Jump competition. One foot...a hop...then the other foot....jump...two feet....a skip...two feet again...one foot...a hand print (probably not allowed in the Triple Jump)....knee print (not sure which knee, and also probably not allowed, I’m breaking all of the rules now)....a hand print....another hand print...a really good forehead print....and a “roll in the sand” final full-body sprawled-out print on a hardwood floor.

Well...now I that I know what my carbon footprint looks like, should I be concerned?

Yowsers! I hope you're okay. I'll just assume my carbon footprint looks the same as yours, I don't want try to look behind me as I walk forward because I think my outcome would be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

You Oakies are so funny! What a great sense of humor even while hurting and what a way with words.

I think you pretty much got it down pat, CD! Not laughing at 'cha...but rather, with you!

There was an old man in Oklahoma
Who tripped over a machine in his home ah...
Concern for the carbon foot print
was not his intent
but to keep himself out of a coma...
