I just read that Rosa Parks has moved on and will no longer grace the earth with her uncommon presence. If there ever was a person who inspired belief in the spirit of self-respect and respect for fellow human beings, it was she. Farewell and sweet dreams.

In an earlier post I discussed how living on an island helps a person to appreciate the little things. One example used was Kraft’s macaroni and cheese. Little did I know, until today that is, that the regular version of the product is almost an obsolete item in the lives of the new generation. Or at least that’s how it was presented in an article in one of my favorite food review sites Taquitos.net. Sometimes a person never realizes how much of a bubble one is living in until something seemingly insignificant pops in front of their eyes.

For the past twenty-four hours I’ve been having trouble with the site. But it’s back online and seems to be working now , so keep you’re fingers crossed. If there ever is another situation where you can’t get into the site, try this site. I will keep it for emergencies like this past day.
