Kanopy -- Have You Heard?

Do you have a library card? 
Does your local library subscribe to Kanopy
If so, you really ought to check out this streaming service. 
It's included with your public library membership. 
No cost, but there are limits. 

They give you 12 (in my city) tickets a month to *spend on 72 hour access to what you choose to watch. One of my favorite things, is discovering that many of the children's programming on Kanopy doesn't cost any tickets. AND I was very pleased to see that they carry several of Weston Woods/Scholastic videos, that are based on classic children's books--such as Knuffle Bunny (they've made that book even better with the addition of the actual voices), Chrysanthemum, Where the Wild Things Are, How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food, and so many more. Simply do a search on Kanopy for "weston woods" and they'll all pop up and overwhelm you. ;-)
We've watched fairly new movies, classics and independent films. 
It's awesome.
Really.
No lie.
Love, K

"NO NEW TAXES"

   Recently, I ran across a post promoting a meet and greet for a local candidate headlined with the title of this post. A wealthy supporter had opened up their palatial home for this event-- which reminds me .... why is it always the wealthy who constantly carp and complain about taxes? And put millions of dollars into the campaigns to elect the candidates they desire?  Do they think their gated communities, with private security will be enough to keep them safe and cozy from the rest of the world? While the rest of us (who don't understand that fewer taxes mean less ability for government to govern and provide services) wonder why the police don't patrol enough, why no one is fixing all the potholes, etc. And all the crap about how much money is wasted on lazy employees, "there's too much waste", when the reality is that government is comprised of normal citizens. Citizens who sometimes do wasteful things -- much like the rest of the humans on this planet. 
Yes, I might be ranting a bit and will most likely be back to add and edit.
