When there are threats of violence, I'd say the whole thing becomes pretty clear. Cyber bullying isn't going to be an easy area- some people will, obviously, claim things are about them when they aren't, and some people will make real bullying look transparent- but all society can do is try to catch the egregious stuff, and I'm glad people are trying.

My daughter's Irn-Bru came today! 3 quite large boxes. Poor UPS guy- I'm glad he wears a back brace- I hope they work.

I am always in awe of the delivery system in this country. We live in a time of fabulous riches- I don't see how it can possibly last, seeing as how we make almost nothing, and our country is sinking in debt, but it's our duty to enjoy the party while it lasts.

I was shoping for produce and I was just overcome, as i sometimes am, but how far some of that produce journeyed just to be in my supermarket- and how MUCH of it there is. Huge piles of perfect oranges, a rainbow of different varieties of apples, all the fruits of the tropics- and I think of my mother telling me about the orange she used to get in her stocking at Christmas. Oranges weren't a common thing in the slums of chicago in the 20's and 30's- or so my mother told me. The abundance all around us is truly amazing.
