elecciones fabulosas (fabulous choices)

Those empanadas !! Makes me hungry !

Teenage Economics ….

Wise choice.

Plot twist: they actually picked the first option. xD

Empanadas! De lengua! :-p

I had a moment of wondering why today’s kids would want to see a 1995 Kevin Costner film.

Free always wins!

They are gone in the last panel, but you cannot tell where they went. They should be shown inside, playing video games.

The empanadas aren’t free; you have to “pay” Tía with effusive praise! :)

Here in New Braunfels, Texas, home of The Schlitterbahn water park, locals buy season tickets and return as often as they want. It’s the tourists that pay full price for a single visit.

When I was a kid my mom would take us to a township owned beach. Terrible – skin burned from sun, skin burned from salt in water.

But on Wednesdays! We would go food shopping and to the library. I would return the books I took out the week before and take out as many new ones as I could. The library would have a summer reading program – one was suppose to read either 10 or 12 books (forget which) over the summer. By the third trip to the library I would be finished, some years the by the second trip. I would then end up arguing with the librarian. There were spots to fill in for fiction and spots to fill in for non-fiction books. I always read almost all non-fiction and would argue that they were better and more important than fiction as one learns from non-fiction. (Biographies were a particular favorite.)

Once I got into college I went to same during the summer also. finished a year early. Just because it is hot is no reason to waste the time.
