			A few quick articles One about nighttime care for patients with Alzheimer's, who are often more active at night. The idea seems like a good one, but the text of the article veers into condescension often - referring to your elders as being "like a kindergartener" is never a good thing.( Read more...Collapse )An article on the Amish, religious freedom, and septic codes. It seems to me that your religious freedom ends right about when other people have to drink the water too. Blech.( Read more...Collapse )An editorial on same-sex marriage. This politician was shocked - shocked, I say! - to find out that gay people don't want to force homophobic churches to marry them. Uh, duh?( Read more...Collapse )An article on girl's sports teams in cities.It comes with a slideshow( Read more...Collapse )And finally, the Stray Shopping Cart Project.

That's a problem with a lot of tourist-potential spots on SI, they're badly run or badly managed, or simply badly designed, because people figure "nobody's heading out here anyway", and so there's nothing for people to head out here for, and there could be!)( Read more...Collapse )One on the much-touted official double dutch teams in NYC public schools. (Interesting fact about me, I can't jump rope.)( Read more...Collapse )And one about a cop, and a bicyclist, and a collision, and a heck of a lot of videos of the event. It's possible the cop isn't actually lying, just that his memory is seriously flawed. I guess.( Read more...Collapse ) Tags: articles, bikes, education, nyc, sports, staten islandI'm feeling: awake
