How Do You Spell That?

That was a song I had going through my head this evening, as I strolled through Border's with three of my kids waiting for the latest installment of Harry Potter.

I understand dressing up as your favorite character (although I don't think I ever did that past age seven...can someone explain age fifty-something?). Borders had the worse crowds and system to purchase books, so bad where I went over to Wal-Mart and 15 minutes later, I had two copies of the book.

Going to bed, both girls can't read the books yet, they already decided that chasing boys was more important than listening to mom and dad.

So, re-education camps "weren't pretty" in Vietnam. I think the Vietnamese who died/survived those camps may want to use a different adjective.

Remember this picture? Now, there's been a new addition to the menu.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Live rats are being trucked from central China, suffering a plague of a reported 2 billion rodents displaced by a flooded lake, to the south to end up in restaurant dishes, Chinese media reported.

Rats had been doing a roaring trade thanks to strong supply over the last two weeks, the China News Service quoted vendors as saying.

"Recently there have been a lot of rats... Guangzhou people are rich and like to eat exotic things, so business is very good," it quoted a vendor as saying, referring to the capital of Guangdong province, where people are reputed to eat anything that moves.

God, I hope this isn't the place where the "rat banquets" are taking place....

And remember, Guangdong province is a "rich" part of China...
