Bugs, Self-Promotion, $700 Billion
 
My children have a sudden new addiction: Insects. They’re busy collecting them in every free moment and trapping them in a “bug catcher,” a plastic jug-like device with a snap lid that doubles as a magnifier. To my delight, the boys are trying to be nice to the bugs they’ve caught, and are trying to provide them with food. This involves research, and has sent Boy Number One scurrying to his bookshelves for info, possibly for the first time ever. And it didn’t involve Google, which is better yet. My rules for bug collecting: Don’t bring the bug catcher inside. Don’t bring the bug catcher in the car. All insects must be let go within three days to prevent charges of genocide in the World Court. I love Den Haag, but airplane tickets are murder these days. And, in the world of shameless self-promotion, please check out these links! http://scifi.uk.com/2007/04/30/forgotten-worlds-issue-7/ http://www.velcro-city.co.uk/magazine-review-talebones-34-winter-2006/ Food for thought besides my work: How would you have voted this week on the seven billion bailout? Pro or con? Would you vote your conscience or would you vote for “what’s best”? Would you vote as your constituents would like, or as your personal certainties dictate? The Senate must be so relieved…they didn’t have to vote at all! : ) http://scifi.uk.com/2007/04/30/forgotten-worlds-issue-7/http://www.velcro-city.co.uk/magazine-review-talebones-34-winter-2006/shapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
