* Tonight I will be talking to a bunch of girl scouts about first aid kits so I decided to get some last minute information on the internet. I keyed in hiking-first-aid-kits, tooled around on a few of sites that came up when I saw a tee shirt and remembered I wanted to get a Stewart/Colbert 2008 tee shirt and bumper sticker so I looked up Stewart/Colbert 2008 and tooled around a few sites finding this site; Rationally Speaking . To me just happening on to something is great. To learn something new or be exposed to something unexpected makes life more interesting. Of course everything has a flip side I wasted nearly 3 hours tooling around the net and never did find what I started out looking for ;-)

* Today is a cloudy and cool day on the Outer Banks. Great day for drinking coffee and reading.

* Monet is on exhibit in Raleigh until January. My walking buddy and I are hoping to see it sometime in November another friend of mine has already seen it and she said it is well worth the trip. North Carolina Museum of Art
