I'll be printing this out.

Now I am off to check out the artist's website for more education related cartoons.

This and that on a gloomy Friday (weather wise)

I am not a big fan of summer but I am ready for a few days of sunny and in the 80s. Today highs in the 50s, damp, and overcast AGAIN! Using the heater in late May is getting old.

I find myself changing behavior in response to rising prices: This morning is a good example of how rising prices are affecting me. I need to go to the post office and the hardware store. I want to go to the farmer's market tomorrow so I am forcing myself to wait on the PO and hardware store even though they are both less than a mile from my house. Walking not an option because of what I need to take to and bring home. I am only going to campus to work when I absolutely must and working the rest of the time from home. An overreaction? Probably but I have feeling that changing how I think and live will require being extreme to establish habits and then moderating from there.

I have been playing with my Wordpress blogs more -- mostly doing more with Kaleidescope Living as a place to participate in the Independence Day Challenge and Eat Local Summer.

Anyone have experience with Ecobunga (a guide to green giveaways and deals)?
