Blog Action Day – 4

Four days to go. Here is CNN’s site that is devoted to helping people. I picked the page on Poverty to start, but there are many other topics linked to as well. Impact Your World


Blog Action Day — October 15

I have signed up to participate in the Blog Action Day. The theme is Poverty, not sure what I will write, but I’ll come up with something! The date of action is October 15 — that’s next Wednesday…


More about Voting

I followed a link and followed a link. Thanks, Fran, for pointing this out. Here is the original video from myspace.com Don’t Vote! A note to citizens of the United States who have internet access but no fixed address… by the provisions in the United States Constitution you can still vote for president, and in […]


VOTING and registering

In order to vote in elections in the United States, citizens must first register. This helps ensure that only qualified votes (citizens of legal age who have not had this right revoked for legal reasons) are cast. Today, October 4, is the last day Washington state residents (who must also be citizens of the United […]

These books appear to have been compiled by Mrs. L, the woman who used to live in the house between my grandmother’s home and my great-grandmother’s. She had […]


Happy Earth Day

I have a whole slew of webpages that have caught my attention over the last several months. Some of them are about how to minimize your impact on the planet’s resources while maintaining a comfortable life. Some of them have been (or will be) mentioned and linked to in other posts here. This first is […]


Politics

I don’t usually post on politics, but my preferred presidential candidate has stepped down.  I am looking for the “next-best” now…  and reviewing the options that remain. So, let’s talk politics a bit: What makes for a good leader? What is the difference between campaigning and doing the job? What sort of qualifications should one […]
