I have been geeking out on this list all morning. It breaks my geeky heart to see Tolkien at the top. I mean seriously, good story but it's like reading the King James version of the Bible because you like the syntax...which btw is my favorite version. Surprisingly I have only read about a third of this list but with brilliant, funny, smart fast paced sci-fi like "Snow Crash" - which comes in at 26 - makes me wonder who actually voted...besides me?

Shouldn't that mean that Obama will win by 80%? Also look at th 2.9million number. McCain lowers their taxes and Obama taxes them more. Those that have should help those that don't. BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS Here's how the average tax bill could change in 2009 if either John McCain's or Barack Obama's tax proposals were fully in place. MCCAIN OBAMA Income Avg. tax bill Avg. tax bill Over $2.9M -$269,364 +$701,885 $603K and up -$45,361 +$115,974 $227K-$603K -$7,871 +$12 $161K-$227K -$4,380 -$2,789 $112K-$161K -$2,614 -$2,204 $66K-$112K -$1,009 -$1,290 $38K-$66K -$319 -$1,042 $19K-$38K -$113 -$892 Under $19K -$19 -$567

Sunday..the day before Monday

Sometimes Sunday really does feel like the day before Monday..especially late in the afternoon right before dinner, when your hanging in that middle zone as the days activities wind down and the dinner/bath/bed crush has yet to kick in. Then it's Sunday the day before Monday and work and lists and all the things you didn't quite finish last week. Sometimes, I will admit the thought creeps in and I think yeah, can't wait to get back at it...'cause this week I'm gonna....but other times it's like, quick, deflect...through up the wall..duck! Ok but this blog is supposed to be about the Things You Can Do..to make this life more livable for all...sustainable for the planet ..and generally just better, nicer,cleaner and safer for us all.
