I was cruisin' on Regretsy the other day and saw a post from a nurse in Joplin, MO. Cunningham Park, which was located next to St. Johns', was completely destroyed by the tornado. The park is now part of a contest sponsored by Coca-Cola; the park with the most votes gets $100,000. As the poster on Regretsy pointed out, the other parks in the running probably haven't been destroyed by a natural disaster. You can vote as many times as you want, and you don't even have to give any personal information. Check it out!

Today was a Point/Counterpoint day -- minus the jabs at my integrity. Point -- I donated my old collection of classroom books to a worthy place. Eight years of books equals a lot of boxes. Counterpoint -- I live on the second floor. My car is on the first floor. A lot of boxes of books had to get from the second floor to the first floor. Point -- I went on a walk and found an abandoned license plate by the side of the road and turned it into the police department to be returned to its rightful owner. Counterpoint -- It was really hot today. Why did I go on a walk? Point -- The police officer who collected the plate from me was appreciative. Counterpoint -- He was probably more appreciative that he was done...
