If you go to your pantry, I'm going to bet that there is food on the shelves. Perhaps not food you want to eat, or will ever eat at that matter, but food. So many people don't have this luxury.
Sometimes society is all wrong.
Kids should have two parents (of any sex) and they should be married. People should not have babies they can't feed and there should not be incentives for having more kids. Teenagers should be taught where babies come from and be given condoms if they still want to have sex. Kids should have books so they can learn to read and they should have teachers who want to teach and are given all the tools they need to do so. People should not sleep on the streets. That homeless person sleeping on the street is someones kid, mother, uncle or brother. We should take care of them.
If you have food in your pantry, find someone who doesn't and help.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. - Gandhi

I see London, I see France...
Ok, actually I only see France... as in Paris.
Yep, that's right. I'm going to Paris. I've never been to Paris. I'm very excited to eat a lot of baguettes and chocolate and see the Eiffel Tower and practice my horrible, awful, probably with a Utah accent, French.
And, as an added bonus, there will most likely be a train ride to Brussels involved.
HOORAY

A tree grows in NE
There are lots of things that drive me nuts about DC. First, the people from Virginia who drive on my roads but don't pay for them, the fact that DC gives out parking tickets to DC residents for parking in front of No Parking signs which are not at all legible, the fact that the schools suck.
But it does no good to kvetch all the time, so I decided to write a positive note about the landscaping on 295. 295 off of East Capitol is how I head to Maryland. They have been doing road construction on 295 for about 4 years now. But I think they are finally winding up and they have put shrubs and grasses in the median. It looks quite nice!
I went on the DC web page and wrote a comment. I didn't really expect a response, and I'm sure the Mayor didn't actually write it, but was happy to read a personalized response less than 3 days after I posted my comments.
Who knew.
Dear Ms. Bunny:
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback with regards to the landscaping on 295 N of the East Capitol exit. I truly appreciate your comments and I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing.
Sincerely,
Adrian M. Fenty, Mayor
