Lots 'o Links - With Music

I have not been able to get this lively music out of my head since I heard it this afternoon. It's 

Mountain King:Dance of the Shepherdess, by Hugo Alfven.

Settle in with some interesting reading at Maggie's Farm, Larwyn's Linx, and Betsy's Page!

I'm not sure where I saw this item:  “'It’s like the AIDS crisis; we’ve had people dying for a decade and nobody cared.'”  — Joe Cressy, a member of the Toronto City Council who advocates supervised injection sites to save the lives of heroin users. New York is considering opening up to four such centers."  You're right -- I don't care. I just don't care about people's reckless behavior, lack of personal responsibility, and preventable consequences.
