This video clip certainly give one something to think about. I'm sure it could be the starting point for some vigorous debate.

I liked this infographic which I found courtesy of Jamadots. Especially like the inclusion of the downside of technology in #10 being included as a consideration.

Interesting Sign

Autumn Leaves Were Falling Like Snow Today

Improvised Sign

It might be the Minnesota Discovery Center now, but this improvised sign made to collect items they had on loan when they closed says it all; they have a long way to go. And the sign was made by people who provide service to the institution.

If you can't read the teeny tiny print penciled in on the sign, it says "they call it closed" and "not anymore", reflecting the closure and later reopening .

Hard Times in Libraries

Times are really tough in Libraryland these days...or is this the ultimate in recycling? Popcorn fish would beat the shedding fluff that goes everywhere from jiffy bag packing, but probably smell pretty rank by the time it was delivered in any heat.

One of my libraries was looking for this hunger scale graph today. It was kind of interesting to find that if you eat when feeling 6 or higher you may be eating to fill an emotional need, and not because you're really hungry.
