Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places.

In preparation for my house hunting trip that we embark on tomorrow, I have been reading "Guide to Greater Columbia, South Carolina." It is quite the relocation manual, chock-full of maps and shopping guides and voter registration laws. It also has a thorough section on public schools including a list of the "Hall of Fame" alumni from Richland School District One - a doctor who was awarded a Nobel Prize for inventing the polymerase chain reaction, the youngest Miss America to ever wear the crown (1993), and the commander of the 1994 flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery. How impressive - I was starting to feel guilty for all my complaining about the abysmal high school drop out rate, until I read:

Timmermand School regularly triumphs as Spelling Bee Champions at the regional competition, their success due to their strong phonics progarm.
Outstanding.

I also leaned that the average high December through February is 58 degrees and the average low never falls below freezing. As a Midwest girl, that sounds stifling. What am I going to do with all my fluffy scarves and gloves?
Columbia does have a "Top Ten in America" zoo. That should be nifty.
Gamecocks vs. Bulldogs 09/09/2006
Theatre - Golf:The Musical and The Lion King of Mali (I'm sure Disney is thrilled)

If you're ever on Jeopardy - The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

- catch the vibes, catch the vibes cause it's lada with the lid off
