Cornell's got a new program I heard about on NPR yesterday (some guy I was talking politics with the other day asked me what NPR was. That kind of ended the conversation right there.) looking for kids and the outdoorsy type to collect ladybugs for them. Apparently, the ladybugs that were so prevalent and helpful at controlling aphids and mealybugs in New York have completely disappeared from the area and Cornell wants to know why.

Here's a link that tells you what to do and how to help..and get your kids the heck out of the house in the process..you really can't beat that with a stick!

I heard that too. I thought it was cool. Did you stay tuned in to hear the musician, Ben Sollee? I really liked his music. I'll probably post a song when I get back from OBX tomorrow.

I did..the kid with the cello, right? I liked the song he sang about the government and honesty. I was hoping we'd hear more artists put out music like that.

Thanks for sending this Jamie! In other news, I too HATE when I mention NPR and people give back that blank stare and say that same ignorant "What is that?" Lawd ha mercy! Then I think to myself...why am I friends with these folks???? And then I say..."What? You listen to Commercial Radio??? What is wrong with You?!?!"
