Wanna help my favorite city get back on its feet?

Courtesy of National Public Radio's Morning Edition, a link to a new website designed to encourage people around the country to patronize small-to-medium-size businesses in New Orleans, LA and help the city come back from the destruction of Hurricanes Katrina & Rita; listen to the story here. At shopnola.org, set up with help from Shell Oil Co. (which has offices there), you can buy Aunt Sally's pralines, Tabasco's famous hot sauce and other products, fine wines, fine art and much more. You can also donate to local recovery-involved nonprofits. Do some good and your holiday shopping at the same time!

Today's LJ meme, artfully appropriated from daisy_knotwise:

You paid attention during 86% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

Considering I went to Louisiana public schools for most of my elementary and secondary education, I think I did pretty damned well.
