Beaches on Lake ErieYou don't have to crross the border to find free beaches on Lake Erie. Today (e:mike) , (e:terry) , (e:matthew) [inlink]matthew,366[/inlink] and I visited Bennett Beach

Human Enslavement Sony StyleThis is taken directly from Boing Boing News rss feed but I thought it was important to talk about. I fell like these people should be jailed and not just fined. This type of behavior is one of the reasons I enjoy living in a poorer city.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court ordered James J. Jackson, vice president of legal affairs at Sony Pictures Entertainment, and his wife, Elizabeth, to pay 825,000 dollars to 60-year-old Nena Ruiz, who says she was kept as an indentured servant in the couple's home.
[Ruiz claims she was] emotionally and physically abused and forced to work 18 hours a day at virtually no pay for a year ... she said that Elizabeth Jackson had frequently slapped her and pulled her hair. During her year at the Jacksons' home, Ruiz said she slept in a sleeping bag on a "dog's bed" on the living room floor and ate days-old food, while she prepared fresh food for her employers' pets.

Summer DaysI am eating the first popsicle of the summer. It actually seems kind of disgusting. It is not very sweet and tastes like plastic. It's especially weird to think it's made out of oil. Did we fight a war for popsicles?
Maybe it tastes bad because it's old. It probably has been there, on the shelf all summer, if not since last year because I really can't remember that many hot days where people wanted popsicles.
On another note, I found this really messed up picture of (e:matthew) 's white ice fish that died. I didn't know it was there till now. Someone must have used it while playing with the paint program on my phone. He was a cool looking fish but the other fish hated him and beat him up till he died. It was sad to watch as he didn't fit in and they scared him so much that he dug a little hole and would never come out.
