We never taught Smith-Corona, or Turbo TS40, or Ford Tempo. We taught, respectively, typing, wood shop, and student driving. We should teach word processing, computer technology, and communications.

A former mailman of ours, now a good friend, has always loved the frog made from spoons, forks and nuts that sits on our porch. He teases he will sneak away with it one day. Tomorrow he goes in for major surgery. I don’t know how to weld (the frog is spot welded) but I did make him this fork cricket for good luck.

I asked an employee at the grocery store where the cereal was. He said, “I’ll see.” and walked off. Waited 10 minutes and he never returned. Exasperated, I found another employee and they too said, “I’ll see.” and just walked off, never to return. I eventually found it myself...

Imagine you like blueberries a lot and buy a kilogram of them every week.

In winter you walk to your local supermarket to get them; shipped 10,000 km away and trucked 1,000 km more.

In summer, you go to a fresh producer’s stand at the farmer’s market.

The energy due to shipping turned out to be exactly the same in both caes!

Assume you and the farmer drive the same distance to the market.

Q: How far did you drive your car to the market each way?
