  • The Future of Food

    For anyone interested in knowing more about where our food comes from and what’s in the products we eat, I highly recommend watching this documentary: http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food It’s about an hour and a half and even if you watch only the first 20 minutes you will definitely be shocked. This is also quite relevant to our local area seeing as many of the companies and products mentioned are grown and sprayed all around us everyday.

  • Our part in Iran

    Very interesting snippet in an automatically generated email I received from VOA (Voice of America): 2. BLOCKED FROM OUR SITE? If you are denied access, you can try to enter our site through a proxy server.

    Alexandria needs more bike lanes: This community was not designed for bicyclists (or pedestrians).

Our quality of life would take a quantum leap forward by changing that, and some of us might even lose a few more pounds.
