Friday was a nice hot day and I needed to get out so I got my bike and leisurely pedaled towards a yard sale R had already been to. She said there was a computer there.

Yesterday we went biking around town to look at yard sales etc. It was a beautiful day though a bit cool and everyone was so friendly. Maybe it's the 3-day weekend or something astrological.

Thing on the Holocaust last night. Saw it a few years ago. Made myself watch it. Why does our government allow this to happen again in Darfur and other places? If we stepped in like we did in Iraq it would end in days. Family values my ass ( Read more... )
