The new turquoise license plates here can clash with some car colors, but on this VW it was really beautiful. And there was another beautiful blue car between me and there. And it had a cool lizard.

"pretty good for an unschooler"?
Thinking and thinking, after ten days of meeting with and talking to other unschoolers, I have a couple of things to save for future use.
One is that my kids didn't do well for unschoolers. They're doing well for anyone. They're doing well as people. I think 'Pretty good, for an unschooler' is kind of an insulting thought.

There's the photo I took with my phone, and immediately mailed it to Holly, who responded
When you said 'light change,' I thought you meant traffic light lol!!
Then a few days later I was walking around "south Philly" with a special secret-route map Amy Childs gave me, and saw this:
