News like this just irks the hell out of me. This country is headed in the wrong direction and the knowledge of it tears at me constantly. A friend recently sent me a letter comparing our personalities and said this:

I’m digging my RssReader v1.0.88.0. The trouble with it though is that it has an endless capacity to provide me with the depressing news of the day.

The girls and I spent the day at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. Very nice little zoo. Not many places to sit and eat, but otherwise very fun.
Emily had a great time and her Mom and Dad did too.
