    Checking into the purchase of a smallish hybrid 4x4, it looks like the RAV 4 is a good one for us in the future.

    Bird Fest Sunday, teaching the Sense of Place, we all had reusable water bottles, rather than brining plastic bottles. That is 13 people (13 bottles kept out of the recycling), very impressive.
