It was 17 years ago that Leeann and I had our first big date (in 1992). Wow! But I'm a little under the weather tonight, so we're delaying the celebration until later.
It was 20 years ago that the Berlin wall came down. I was a college student watching it on a little black and white tv in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Check out this link w/ a photo of an outdoor comics installation at the site of the future Berlin Wall Memorial (via Anne Elizabeth Moore):

Susie Cagle [possibly related] also documented the event.

Adopted From Korea and in Search of Identity
By RON NIXON
As a child, Kim Eun Mi Young hated being different.
When her father brought home toys, a record and a picture book on South Korea, the country from which she was adopted in 1961, she ignored them.
Growing up in Georgia, Kansas and Hawaii, in a military family, she would date only white teenagers, even when Asian boys were around.
“At no time did I consider myself anything other than white,” said Ms. Young, 48, who lives in San Antonio. “I had no sense of any identity as a Korean woman. Dating an Asian man would have forced me to accept who I was.”
It was not until she was in her 30s that she began to explore her Korean heritage. One night, after going out to celebrate with her husband at the time, she says she broke down and began crying uncontrollably.
“I remember sitting there thinking, where is my mother? Why did she leave me? Why couldn’t she struggle to keep me?” she said. “That was the beginning of my journey to find out who I am.”

>>Data from the Hurricane Hunters this afternoon indicates that Ida has not weakened, and remains near hurricane strength. AT 3 pm EST, an Air Force airplane reported that the pressure had fallen to 991 mb, and a small area of hurricane force winds of 75 - 80 mph had developed in the outflow from a intense burst of thunderstorm activity on the southwest side of the eye.<<
>>Tropical Storm Ida is pounding the coasts of southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle with high winds, huge waves, and heavy rain.<<

I am cofuzzled by my pending move to Ypsilanti because I have been so long so spoiled by cheap Detroit real estate and cannot handle the stress of wanting to live in a town that is merely "cheap" as a opposed to "a town where property and old cars are so cheap that people push trucks out of 4th story windows for shits n' giggles.
Potential new apartment has all sorts of fancy doohickies like ceramic tile and granite countertops and a washer-dryer but will cost 33% of my monthly take-home pay.
So here is my informal internet poll:
What do you feel is an appropriate percentage of your income to pay towards rent? Optional: what percentage of your income to you now pay towards rent?
How much higher of a percentage would you hypothetical be willing to pay to reduce your commute to 50 feet instead of xxx miles?

Re: investigative journalism & media ethics. Why do we so often see reporters being filmed knocking on the front doors of homes? Some guy was accused of child porn so every reporter knocks, some showing the address. What about the others who live there, where’s their right to privacy and presumed innocence.
Someday, not too far off, some nut job is going to make the network news by firing a shotgun through the door. is that what we want?

Another blog? That’s like saying does the world need another conversation? Hell yeah. The more smart people we get talking via this relatively new online communication device — and that’s all it really is — the better.
Happy to have you blogging with us, and I’m looking forward to reading more from you. And don’t be shy about calling out the TU when you think we deserve it. Oh never mind, you already did!
