I don't think I could go without a/c...well without a lot of complaining.

I like going to Sonic Drive In during "happy hour" which is 2-4 here and all of the drinks and slushes are 50% off.

Another thing that is starting to happen here is a 4 day work week... maybe I should look into it... naw:p

I just found out that there's an organic co-op here in St. Louis; you buy 1 share of stock for $10.00, put down a $20.00 refundable deposit, and work there for 4 hours a month. I'm not sure what the terms are for taking away food--whether you exchange labor for food or pay a small price, or how much you can take, but it sounds worth looking into. I can see more of these springing up around the country in the near future.
