Bake sales are an inherently flawed method of fundraising. They depend on people who don't have money and time to donate both to making baked goods that cost as much or more as they are sold for by children who nag people to buy this stuff in the name of "raising money"-- and the clientele get fat. Plus, there's all this dubious sanitation on the part of the cook and the people who cut and wrap. So instead of contributing to a bake sale, the organizers and their associates should just skip all the intermediate steps, donate the cost of a sheet cake to the deserving organization, and everyone involved would do a lot better.
It was golden when I woke up, with morning light pouring through my windows. But by the time I got out of the shower, there was only a thick mist of fine snow. There's still some snow, and you can see a fleeting glimpse of blue behind the clouds at times. Not much in the way of sun, though. It was 80 degrees yesterday, so this is a rude and unwelcome change for most. As for me, I wish it had been enough to close school because good GOD, I need a few days to catch up on grading.
Yes, I should be grading right now. And aren't you a keen observer of detail.
