so i keep getting emails from national day of service, probably because of my involvement with americorps, and i thought, i can be a good person. so i looked at the kinds of community service. seems like most of it is collecting donations, which seems like, well, who is giving these donations? if everyone's serving, who can be donating? then there are some gardening/building/cleaning things, but i don't feel like getting dirty. some virtual opportunities (those are weird), phonebanking (ugh), walking a red carpet and being in a video (not sure who this helps), writing to soldiers (c'mon, i already donated all my stickers to them!), food prep (seems like too crazy a day to do that) and helping unemployed people prepare for jobs (computer training and mock interviews, but if there are no jobs, not sure how this helps). there aren't even any blood drives that day.
i got my drugstore.com order. apparently lasership doesn't know what it's talking about.
someone just circulated a products liability article written by someone i went to high school with! at least i think so. kinda looks the same, same name, correct years for college. seems like we're all doctors and lawyers now. some engineers, too.
i wouldn't have looked for it if that yahoo article hadn't been so oblique. i think most of these can be answered easily or by the fact of shoddy reporting. i did wonder why there were no more recent pictures of the shooter. i mean, no one's taken a color picture of this guy in the last 3 or so years? not impossible but a little strange.
