Random!

My kids are gud. The oldest one is in Alabama looking for cotton fields to blow up, the middle is in the middle of hosting a concert for ostriches with amazing soprano voices, and the youngest is stuck in a tree rescuing her grandmother from a mob of dangerous, abominable snowpeople. It's pandemonium here in the house right now!

Summer Stretch Journalism students were required to make a blog about all the journalism stuffs that they were writing about. The layouts on Wordpress are prettier than Blogspot, but you can't change the font color or size or alot of stuff. The formatting is a bit harder to control. Anyways, my blog is, at the moment, private, but I wanted to post the "story" here. I thought it was supposed to be 200-300 words at first, but then I was notified that it was actually 100-200 words, so that explains any parts I might be lacking in detail or whatnot...it's still 210 words, but it's better than the 299 before.

When it comes to environmental issues facing Washington State today, locals who spend time in the University District have reached a general consensus that global warming is the most pertinent factor at hand.
Reporters in the University of Washington interviewed several subjects yesterday, July 1st, on the topic of Washington’s environment. Ruth Beardsley, a secretary at the University of Washington School of Law, admitted she worries about warnings and predictions scientists have made that are believed to be caused by global warming, such as “the green of Ireland turning to sand, the polar bears losing their habitat…earthquakes, tsunamis…,” all of which she fears are happening “because of imbalances.”
Similarly, students at the University of Washington have concluded that global warming is the most distressing concern affecting Washington’s environment. Jenifer Afalla, a student, noted the “hectic” weather Washingtonians have experienced lately, such as last year’s erratic snowfall and the spontaneously changing temperatures presently. When asked about what they has been doing to help limit the spread of global warming, student Nicole-An Gino has said that she separates recycling and waste and Yen Lym (student), said she tries to carpool “as much as [she] can.”
With these opinions, it’s clear global warming is currently thought the most prominent environmental problem in Washington.

So that's it. You don't hafta read it, it's just a kinda superficial report. It's easy to digest though, nothing political or complex.

This is bunny. Bunny says that wordpress is very limited and therefore not as great as blogger. Also it has really low bandwidth
