question
I saw an ad for these the other day. Does the world really need disposable cutting boards? In addition to the disposable storage containers, mops, plates, utensiles and cups? How much more trash can we possibly create to save a few minutes of washing? Earth ain't disposable, baby.

rambling
The government is really fond of the "trickle-down" concept lately, isn't it? Take away the volunteers who help the nonprofits, which try to pick up the government's slack in working with the under-served. Sounds like a plan. And why? The NYTimes reports that "the budget shortfall was most likely a result of negligence, not malfeasance, the officials said." Well. Thank goodness it wasn't malfeasance.

not good
AmeriCorps has stopped hiring new volunteers because they've run out of money. How is this possible? I don't know. Glad I took this gig when I did.

buffalo things
My mom laughed when I told her we only got six inches of snow last week. ("I thought it was a storm!" she said.) Deanna posted a list of Buffalo-related notes the other day. Read it and find out more about us native Buffalo folk.

lollipop culture
A Colorado high school group recently made news when it sold t-shirts spoofing their team's "Fighting Reds" mascot and ended up raising a lot of money. The Washington Redskins' name has been up for debate for a while. But did you know that there's a cultural awareness issue over Tootsie Pop wrappers? (Thanks to Deanna for letting me know about this magazine.)

Abandoned NYC subway stations. Complete with photos, maps and history. And semi-relatedly, workers are ready to abandon the whole transit system altogether.

to read
Anne Lamott says: This is how it happens. You think all is lost. You pray. And something begins to work, even better than it did before. A funny, beautiful essay to read when stuff goes wrong.
