Thank you sane friends and family for turning out to BEAT GLEN BECK AND THAT ILLITERATE S.P. WOMAN (whom I would prefer to forget exists in the world.) Though this only concretely proves that we all had more free time this weekend, I like to also think that it shows we're more likely to turn out for something we believe in instead of paying money to have someone else do it.
According to CBS News, 215,000 people showed up for the rally on Saturday...
Canada's CTV, meanwhile, wrote that 250,000 people were estimated to have partaken...
...the Parks Service approximated that "well over 200,000" attended Saturday's rally.

I didn't even know 2 of these existed...
10 Devinely Designed Churches

Had to share, found a picture of Hallgrímskirkja on another blog today (http://theworldwelivein.tumblr.com/) and was intrigued. I don't like religion but they build some amazing structures.

Re: My world crumbled a bit today
So, I wanted to scan and post the letter that I received from Lindt but of course I can't find it.
About 5 days after I sent them the note, you can find it below, we were about to leave for dinner with Kathryn when there was a knock at the door. The UPS guy was standing there with a box... for me... unexpectedly! The best presents are completely unexpected. So I opened it up and there was a lovely letter, very clearly referencing my note to the Lindt customer service, apologizing for changing the recipe for the 70% Excellence but assuring me that their research with consumers shows that the general population prefers the new recipe. There were also two chocolate bars, a 85% and a 90%, full size, no snarky little snack size. A lovely sentiment.
I like Lindt, I understand they're a business... but I'm gonna stop buying their Excellence bars cause the 85% is too bitter for me to snack on regularly, at least by itself. I admit I am not a member of the general population, I'm picky, I speak up, and I like what I like. I don't like the new Excellence 70% recipe, I will stop eating Lindt regularly as soon as my supply has dwindled to nothing. I'm considering applying for a local specialty chocolate store, don't even know if they're hiring.
But... Lindt seems to be a very nice company and their customer service is a delight.
Thanks for the years.
