Baby Beth War
I was in grade school when the Baby Beth war broke out. I was at my next door neighbor's house and found my Baby Beth doll in her basement. I knew it was mine because years earlier I had powdered Baby Beth's face and it was still caked in her nostrils. I remember being sick to my stomach when I realized that I had to confront my neighbor and tell her that this was my doll. This was a very violatile person, my next door neighbor, and she proved it once again by denying me my baby doll and screaming at me to leave. Minutes later her mother called mine. Her mother was even more foreboding--she may have even threatened to sue (she did that). My mother did not know how to respond--I mean, HOW do you respond?! I can't remember all that occured, but it turned out that my next door neighbor had the exact same doll and she thought it was hers. After they found her doll, they colored her Baby Beth's nostrils with pencil lead.

Ages of You
Postcard stowaway within
Pristine indigo without
Banded ottoman as such
Sofa seated one too much
All along the range sha-la-la-la-la-la all along the range sha-la-la-la-la
Ages of you
Ages of you
Ages of you
Train pulls over hanging bridge
Conductor looks up, thinks
Out and down, hands stuck to the left
To the right, you should fall,
The horses just don't gossip anymore
Ages of you
Ages of you
Ages of you
Lyrics by Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe (R.E.M.) from the album, Dead Letter Office. Listen to this album--it's great! I love the first song: "My head is shaking and my arms are shaking and my feet are shaking cuz the earth is quakin!"
Peace out. ~Andi

Eat Your Lawn
The White House should get back to its roots and plant food on its lawns. Check out this great idea: http://www.ondayone.org/node/661?page=1
My dream is that we would all have a vegetable/fruit garden on our own lawns and supplement our grocery store diet. Or even better, be completely sustainable. I know, I know, a little at a time (I'm too much of an idealist). The bigger issue here is transportation and the fuel that enables it. Too much of our dietary intake comes from far away places. We need to start locally and cut out our dependency on oil by growing our own food on our own property.
Stepping down from my Soap Box, Andi
