Daily Thoughts 03/11/2013

I am on the last chapter of Al Gore, The Future.  He is writing about the consequences of climate change; rising sea levels, drought, disease, extreme weather, and conflicts over weather and displaced people.

This morning, I checked the displays and the gift books.  I also spent some time checking order records.
