- Bob in LP MI (in response to Bone Fone, scouting, and Shatner’s world)
HI
I do believe that I still have my bone phone. It is with the rest of my stuff from my youth. How bad do you want it?
Kreg It makes a leader feel good when the boys cross over. I had my son and two others cross over this year. In the winter do your scouts do any kind of Klondike events?
My wife I and I just see Shatner’s world. It was a great show He came out and talked for an 1:45 or so well worth the money.
It was the story of his acting career.
If you get the chance go for it.

Google decided to stop life support for Google Reader. It has only a few more months to live.
Over the years I have learned countless things from the feeds Reader kept an always vigilant eye on for me, never did it complaint: “Why don’t you delete all these dead feeds?” It is as if it knew that I kept them to mourn all those blogs on eternal hiatus. It never mocked me: “Why do you keep reading Unconsumption? You are never going to build a sofa out of a scrapped wooden pallet. You barely manage to recycle your plastic bags!” It was a discreet and helpful friend.
I’m going to miss good ol’ Google Reader.
