Pick o' the Week: Renegade Lunch Lady
Video of the Week: Bill Moyers Journals' excellent coverage of
middle-class, suburban Coloradans suffering in the current economy.
Nice to see, especially after discouraging disconnect
(rightly noted by Mark Jurkowitz)
between public's interest in economy and mainstream media's lack of coverage.

• It's Time to Plant Fall Vegetables (GoSanAngelo.com, 23 August 2008) Throwing this in as a reminder to my fellow Texans. Also, seeing as this is the third regional columnist I've read in the last week comment on what a poor yield this year's gardens have had across the board, am feeling a bit better about the disappointing summer harvest here at home. We started off late but were looking great, then it just slid into dismal. Thought it was me...maybe not. Too dry and windy seems to be the consensus. But the new fall garden looks good...pics and story later in the week!
