Wednesday August 13, 2014 Berlin Wall anniversary

Night the Wall went up, I was listening to Radio Moscow news.  But it was next day before I found out what had happened.

The newscaster kept explaining Why This Step Was Necessary.  And I kept waiting to find out what that step was.

***"Turn of the century charm," real estate ad in a neighborhood paper.  Someone hadn't noticed the 20th century is over. 

***To Waite House for monthly NAPS (Nutritional Assistance Package for Seniors), and for twice-monthly produce giveaway.

The produce giveaway is preceded by a presentation.  This time, on sugar in bottled drinks.  You might be surprised to learn that sodas and energy drinks have unhealthy amounts of sugar.

We were urged to sign up for a "sodacation."  Refrain from drinking sodas with sugar between August 17th and September 2nd.  Participants to get a choice of free items at the end; with drawing for a grand prize the following week.

I signed up.
