Readers are Leaders!
Fun on a Saturday Afternoon
The girl's Best Friend (and next door neighbor) Taylor (holding the box of candy in the back) is selling candy for fundraising at school.
The girls made up a sign - "Candy $1" - and waved it at every car that came down the street for a couple of hours. (That was a total of maybe 5 cars!).
Total money made $4. $2 from selling candy amongst each other and $2 from people stopping.
In the front we have Mary in a Monkey King pose. The littlest one is Taylor's little sister, Madison. Louisa is trying to hold up the sign in the breeze (it was a nice day, but windy. That's why you see jackets and bare feet!). Julia is the cashier.

All My BoingBoings
This morning I woke up to find I had made it onto
boingboing.net (A Directory of Wonderful Things) yet again. Just increasing my Whuffie, I guess.
I first found boingboing in March 2004 from a link sent in a list I am on for an old Science Fiction club I was in during the early 80's (Lexfa - The Lexington [Ky] Science Fiction Association)

Possum on the Back Porch
Marie went out this morning to pull laundry off the clothesline and found an unusual visitor at our bird/squirrel feeder.
It was probably attracted by the stale taco shells we put out there last night.
It stayed still as a.... er.. possum as I took several pictures. Looks like one of its eyes is damaged. I only see a good reflection of the camera flash in one eye.
Time for that great filk song ode to all marsupials - The Song of Marsupial Fandom!
