Teens to Oil
That's the teen mission group from my church this week. My son is in the upper-lefthand corner. My daughter is in the lower-righthand corner. The mission is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I guess they're in a pretty rough section of town. Abbie and her friends won't go jogging. * * * * * * * Some strong Sowell: "In our times, American democracy is being dismantled, piece by piece, before our very eyes by the current administration in Washington, and few people seem to be concerned about it."

You can use USO or diversify a bit with IXC. * * * * * * * Vacation winds blow ahead. Blogging could be very light some days. * * * * * * * "On a 1/4 acre, you can harvest: 1400 eggs, 50 lbs of wheat, 60 lbs of fruit, 2000 lbs of vegetables, 280 lbs of pork, 75 lbs of nuts." Link. I have about 1/10th of an acre under cultivation. I'll be lucky to see 60 pounds of vegetables this year. * * * * * * * Highly interesting: 50 Statistics About The U.S. Economy That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe.
