Sarah is between jobs and I worked half a
day, so we took the crisp autumnal afternoon to
indulge some civic-minded activities. First, we
went to Fremont Baptist Church and voted in local
elections. This meant filling in circles on a
paper ballot and then selecting some baked goods
from a table near the exit. What a
country--freedom of choice and chocolate chip
cookies! Then we went to the library. Boy, there
sure do seem to be a lot of stinker books out
there. Our branch is quite small
and I didn't see anything worth reading, except
maybe Mad Magazine, which has
changed a lot since I read it as a kid. It's slick
and colorful now with a lot of ads. What kind of
person creates ads to influence children? Seems
pretty dirty to me.... |
