A Boxman Photo and a Couple of Movies

Items of note:

-a picture from Boxman of several kids and a merchant saving on energy consumption. Note the open air store front, the kids doubling and tripling up on transportation needs, and the time of year.

-two movies from Netflix the last two days, both worth watching: Or, My Treasure, the story of an Israeli teen ager who is caring for her aging prostitute mother without much success and something of a tragic ending; and Beyond Belief, a documentary of what two widows of the 911 disaster (their husbands were on the plane from Boston) have done with their lives whose focus for several years has been the helping of Afghani widows who have suffered from disaster and tragedy galore over the past decade.
