Tikki Tikki Tembo, a long since seen bit, was refreshing. I remember the old film strip version I saw in class so many decades ago. It is still interesting. I saw for the first time, Penguin Cinderella. It was odd, surely, but not unwatchable.

Human Body for Children: All About Bones & Muscles , Schlessinger Science Library. This is fairly informative with vidoe and graphics. It is posted as being appropriate for K-4, an assessment with which I agree. It would be a neat addition to an educators handbag for science introduction the human body. There are others in the series, I have watched only this one.

Okay, that's just stupid! Democrats are lobbying to remove voter ID requirement for voting. How in the heck is this a burden? If you don't drive, you can get a state ID. I believe often, you can present your ss card which bears your signature, matching that of your voter registration card. So ... this attempt to remove the ID requirement is all bad. How many people has it really excluded? I actually think that the whole voting should be by fingerprint only. That way there is one voter, one vote. If you're a con, then you don't vote. It's that simple. It removes the ID process by requiring you to have fingerprint on file. Generally, those worried about that are those who are more likely to commit crime.

Prayer available during school time -- unconstitional? She even mentioned that it was OPTIONAL. Hey, flake, get the [blank] out of Dodge! So, you don't want your child attending, okay, so s/he doesn't have to attend. Instead, they have more time to read, complete work, or what have you. That's a bad thing? Go away. Go far away, flake!

I got a call back from a company in Indy. I had to do some number crunching to see how much weekly rates are for hotels there. I weighed that against the projected payrate. I could only get the weekly rate from one hotel. Most other hotels are so full of illogic, that I couldn't get a weekly rate. When a hotel's online serice notes that more than one month rate cannot be calculated and I did it twice 30 days and 28 days. How is that not a month? Anyway, so far, the payrate minus the weekly rate that may or may not stay static, isn't so good. It far exceeds an apartment which might be more inclined if I were to have a paystub showing that I'm working there, ya know?

I just got soured on online hotel reservations that tout weekly rates, when you can't get them to disclose the rates. Pains in the ass!
