Tracey and I continued our back yard cleanup yesterday. We cleaned up at least a dozen large garbage bags of rubber pond liner, carpet padding, etc. We loaded them up on our trailer and I hauled it out near the garbage bin. We plan to drag a few bags a week over for pickup because I know they wouldnt want to take all of that at once. Slowly but surely we are getting the remnant of the old pond cleared away. There is still a lot of raking to even things out and some rocks to collect before I can start mowing back there.

Home-schooling parents concerned about possible pressure to teach their children using #CommonCore standards:
I find it interesting that these workers are so important and the nation depends upon them so much that the President must step in to assure the trains run yet these all important people have to go on strike to get the wages they want. Sounds to me like they are of more value than the bankers and CEOs the nation bailed out? Oddly enough the people we really rely on to keep the country running have to rely on special emergency bargaining boards to get wages that are astronomically minuscule in comparison to the trillions in bail outs to the fat cats who not only dont have to bargain for those huge rewards but fracked the world economy in the process. Bizzaro world indeed.
