A Small Step We Can All Take

End World Hunger. Sounds Easy. It may be. Please, if you have a spare 10 minutes a day, Please visit www.FreeRice.org and play to end this insidious epidemic of world neglect.

FreeRice has two goals:

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
3. This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you.

Aftermath of Tropical Storm Noel

Not to be outdone, this storm moved through quickly yet delivered a big blow (excuse the pun) to Cape Cod. The Winds gusted to over 70 MPH and downed trees from Dennis to Chatham and out to the outer Cape. I lost 2 very old oak trees that just seemed to bend with ease. They just snapped in two. These same trees withstood Hurricane Bob, the No Name storm, and the powerful winter of 2005.
