Because Love Is… a Renewable Energy

Eugene, Oregon.  Where love rules.

Some call it a green city; other call it the emerald city; and USDA has called it a Tree City USA®  for the last 30 years.

The people here is good peoples.  We tolerate more than most places would.  It’s love.  We’re always looking for ways to improve our relationships with each other…and with our environment. 

So Valentines Day is a shoe in, in a town like Eugene.

I took a walk around the campus area to see how students and townsfolk were planning to turn their Valentines Day…into a Valen-Greens Yay!  Follow me on my quest for true love.

1.  Rapping with some students.
2.  Slumming it with some beatniks on the curb. 
3.  Chatting up club fundraisers who turned an inane gesture into delicious, true meaning. 
4.  Finally buying a joke book from Frog (how many times has he asked by now?).
5.  Exploring Rennie’s Landing, the environmentally friendly bar and restaurant.
6.  Inquiring about public trans schedules, to Lane Transit District officials, much to their chagrin. 

It was a wild ride, but Eugene proved to me today that the love is in the air (within the prescribed parts per million).  Because, after all, love is a renewable energy.
