Even more reasons to Cocoon

The advent of air conditioning and television have encouraged us to just stay home. Why go to the mall? Why fight the traffic? I'll just stay home and "cocoon." I can shop for just about anything online.

While exploring the local library (internet version of course), I came across resources that make it possible to exert even less energy. Not only can I avoid leaving the house, now I can just stay in my chair. No need to get up and go to the bookshelves. The library now houses my college annuals and newspapers. See for yourself: ACU publications.

The Sun is Riz the Sun is Set

There's an old story about traveling across Texas by rail. The passenger described it: "The sun is riz, the sun is set and here we is in Texas, yet." And it is a long way across Texas. But I think this also describes any endeavor that's more than microwave quick.
