I read the article on why conservatives etc. I went to the conservative blog he suggested as the alternative to Daily Kos. If you subscribe to their site, they will send you a book by Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter! I don’t care to read conservative sites, not because I want to insulate myself, but because so many of them are little more than vicious name calling excuses for non rational argument.
I’m done ranting. Thanks Allie.

I am definitely going to try out a wine cask room at some point in my life. Although I kind of wish they still had wine in them…

Tip of the Day

If It Doesn’t Smell, Don’t Wash It

According to Real Simple, if every American made an effort to launder less — cutting out just one load of laundry a week per household — we’d save enough water to fill seven million swimming pools each year.

So if it looks clean, and it smells clean, call it clean and wear it again. Consider hanging worn clothes out on your clothesline to freshen them up between wearings.
