← Nobel Laureate in Economics: Iraq to cost U.S. $1-2 TRILLION
God cheers for the Cleveland Indians, loves iced mochas, and has an appendectomy scar →

Great to be home. Really, really great.

Posted on January 17, 2006 by Bob

So I arrive home to find that 2 million gallons of sewage has just been released not far from where I live:

On Monday, an area the size of a baseball field at Manhattan Beach was
covered with dried bits of toilet paper and black scum.

Bondi… wherefore art thou, Bondi?

(PS: yes, I know there’s pollution in Oz.  But this is what the water is currently like here after any winter rain.)

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
