days_unfoldingI finally brought stuff over to Goodwill today. Go me. And I brought more books to the charity bin.
I registered for my class this summer, and I'm appalled by how much it's going to cost, but I'll make it work. I did find that I can rent my textbook from Barnes and Noble for a lot cheaper than getting the book elsewhere. It pays to shop around.
I'm on the patch today and not smoking, and I've felt really tired all day. So I think that I'm going to crash after feeding the hordes. My Internet access is weird tonight too. S-L-O-W. Fie on Comcast (although it might be my router). No, it seems to be the Opera browser. I disabled the ad-blocker on one site, and now it's hanging. Sigh.
The cost of my class is providing extra incentive to not smoke because I can't afford to do both.
Oh, and I've been following the French elections. Interesting that the same type of thing is happening there as in the US and UK: centrists (globalists) in cities, far-right in rural areas. When I was in college, I came up with a story about a divide between computer-literate people (the "haves") and not-computer-literate (the "have-nots"). I never wrote it, but I wasn't far off.

It looks like there's some hope for France, but it looked like there was hope for the UK and for the US, too. Gah. Politics.
