Interesting, the shape was defined before the TV and pop-culture phase of Batman.

Huh. I remember always hearing that gas is at all time lows when you account for inflation. Seems that isn't true any more.

Here is one silly graphic...

... and I dispute any idea that Spokane is a happier place
to live than any other place in Washington or Oregon.
It's more likely there is just one or two very happy guys in Spokane
with computers and nothing else to do than Tweet all day and night.

... and Boulder CO, maybe, but Ft Collins ???
... likewise, San Clemente and Simi Valley, CA ???

It's all about the fees. They kill you with them.

Lots of poor kids in the schools now.

The article points out that this is a chart of the percent of kids who get a free or reduced price school lunch because they meet the federal income level for that.

The meals program run by the Department of Agriculture is a rough proxy for poverty, because a family of four could earn no more than $40,793 a year to qualify in 2011.

It's amazing how parents get caught up in these name trends. But if you ask them, they will deny trends have anything to do with it.

My friend gave her daughter the number one girls' name. I tried to tell her she would regret it. I tried to tell her that, as the owner of THE number one name of the entire 1980s, I knew firsthand how much her daughter also would regret their choice. She wouldn't listen.
