The talk was to be broadcast nationwide into schools and generated so much negative press ("it's a political message", "don't want my kids to miss an hour of school, they already know the importance of education") that a number of state boards of education ruled that it would not be presented during the school day (florida, texas, virginia, and minnesota???? (where the hell was AlFranken). So even at home, weirdness prevails.<br /><br />In reading about your microfinance topics and the sad state of educational opportunities in the countyside, maybe there is something at the intersection of the two issues. <br /><br />On the pragmatic side, a stone sifter marketed like a 'vego-matic' kitchen appliance might be a big hit too. I say that with a smile, realizing the irony of a society where there is plenty of spare time, saving time may not have much value.<br /><br />One good Obama thing, he's entertaining the 2009 Stanley Cup champions on thursday night at the White House. All the Penguins are excited.<br /><br />Your blog is great reading. We look forward to updates. However we're glad that "smellovision" never got implemented as an internet protocol. Keep smiling.<br /><br />Best from the 'BurghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171370153810017375.post-916223125705887952009-09-07T00:22:14.192+00:002009-09-07T00:22:14.192+00:00Alyssa, have you ever explained to the laughing pa...Alyssa, have you ever explained to the laughing passersby that your family owns a laundrymat??!!<br />The irony is ridiculous. Does anybody have a clue what a washing machine is? Is there a machine at the PC Training Center in Thies? Please forward to Aunt Cindy directly a photo so she can post it in Belding. No more whining by customers at Wellington Estates once they see your washboard!Sharylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506947538520881474noreply@blogger.com
