What would you save if you rode your bike to school?

Select the type of car you get driven to school in, if you don't walk or bicycle already, and see the savings.

Eeeeeeww, bottled water!

Anyone see all the plastic bottle litter at Valley View? Check this out. It's a great cartoon. You'll learn. It's a little long, about five minutes, but hang in there, it's worth it.

I'm cheering for someone on the shuttle

NASA'S SHUTTLE DISCOVERY HEADS TO STATION AFTER PREDAWN LAUNCH

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Space shuttle Discovery lit up Florida's Space
Coast sky about 45 minutes before sunrise Monday with a 6:21 a.m. EDT
launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The launch began a 13-day
flight to the International Space Station and the second of five
shuttle missions planned for 2010. (Three more shuttle missions until the fleet is retired. ;-(
Bummer.)

Crew members are Commander Alan Poindexter, Pilot Jim Dutton and Mission
Specialists Rick Mastracchio, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, Stephanie
Wilson, Clay Anderson and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
astronaut Naoko Yamazaki.

Lindenburger will be the last of three teachers selected as mission
specialists in the 2004 Educator-Astronaut class to fly on the
shuttle. The educational activities on the STS-131 mission will focus
on robotics and promoting careers in science, technology, engineering
and math. For NASA's teacher and student resources and activities
