Investing in our future?

OK, so Bush won. I have a hard time not putting won in quotes though. I'm not a conspiracy nut by any means, my brain just latches on to any possible explanation of how this could have happened. I still...

Some time shortly after arriving in Eugene we decided that since there were no ATM's for our bank in Oregon, it would be wise for us get an account some place local. (Side note, months later when I finally got...

Hype
