...but it matters where you live
On NPR last night , the show was ' This American Life ' which dealt w/ the inequality in housing , education and race.
The first was the comparison of Akron the city w/ Copley Fairlawn , the suburb. In education criteria Akron met 5 of 24 and CF was 24 for 24.
The story revolved around one family that sent their 2 school aged offspring to grandpa's who lived in CF.
The children were asked revealing questions about the differences in the two scenarios.
The tax base is not available in Akron.
There was a comparison of two men apartment shopping one black and the other white - totally different experiences.
A comparison between NYC and New Orleans and the subtle discrimination in the Big Apple.
Weather : damp and raw ,o/vcast and pregnant w/ rain. None fell and it didn't matter b/c it was still damp
The Honey Do list.

" How many bloggers does it take to change a light bulb ? "
