While I don't want to encourage this discussion , I'll have to admit that the votes are coming from far and wideeven one from Tove Skutnabb-Kangas while she was in Africa. While your impassioned votes might not count, I'll reluctantly share the result of this international vote when I see a sign go up over there near the truck wash-out.  \nNotes from the Real World  \nA snapshot of my February commute from Turlock, CA to Howes, SD.  \nSat., noon , 2/17 to Mon. evening 2/18  \nThe trip has changed during the years in a couple of ways: Now , there is even Starbucks in Nevada and Wyoming , and free wireless access seems to be available if I park near any casino , bar, or even in some rest areas.  \nI drove the first day to Winnemucca , NV. While driving , I listened to A 1000 Splendid Suns by Khaled Hooseini ,  ISBN-10: 1594489505 , the achingly brutal and beautiful story of 2 women's lives, who live lives of desperation and yet are still able to find daily moments of joy. When this story became too painful to continue , I took little breaks with two all-time Saturday NPR favorites, Sylvia Poggioli and Lakshmi Singh.  \nBy the time I hit the Salt Lake flats, I had moved to Shirley McCain's, Sage-ing While Ageing.  ISBN-10: 1416550410  \nI was amazed at her research on the great mysteries of life: Is there life in other galaxies? What happens after we die? I suspect that only right brain people will enjoy this book.  \n[http://www.joanwink.com/scheditems/rt-left_brain_descriptors.pdf](http://www.joanwink.com/scheditems/rt-left_brain_descriptors.pdf)  \n[For more fun with right/left brain activities](For more fun with right/left brain activities), try  \n[http://science-community.sciam.com/blog-entry/Editors-Blog/Left-Brain-Right-Brain](http://science-community.sciam.com/blog-entry/Editors-Blog/Left-Brain-Right-Brain)  \nNaked/300001077?start= 15&  \nor  \n[http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php?p=27](http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php?p=27)  \nWhile driving in WYO, I saw the largest herd of elk I have ever seen  \n[http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=elk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8](http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=elk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)  \n[I saw a pair of Golden Eagles near Casper](I saw a pair of Golden Eagles near Casper), Wyoming.  \n[http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Golden_Eagle.html](http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Golden_Eagle.html)  \n[We also have a pair of Golden Eagles now living on the ranch.
