Today’s Good Health is, Well, Priceless
In the NY Times today, columnist David Leonhardt makes valid points about health care. His point is that good health is priceless, and we’re all lucky to have it in spite of the fact that it is taking more and more of our paychecks. He compares today with the 1950s. […]
Subway Scenes on the Way to JFK
I found that taking various methods of mass transit to JFK airport made a lot of sense. Tallying up the total, so far I’ve spent about $60, including a round trip ticket on a Peter Pan bus. It was as Sam would say, inspiring to spend about half of what […]

Uruguay Is the Next India
Thomas Friedman is on a roll. He’s just plain right about using sugar cane ethanol (and rolling back our prohibitive tax) and now finds something to celebrate about Uruguay.
