The Richardson ISD Council of PTAs had its annual used book fair last weekend. If you've never been, you don't know what you're missing. There are thousands of books, of all genres, for sale at steep discount prices, a treasure hunt where you never know what you'll find. The book that caught my eye, the book I just had to buy, was the one with the big Confederate flag on the cover. I just had to take this one off the shelf...for review, let's say.

Planning for Active Transportation Plan is Active
The City of Richardson has been creating an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) for most of the last year. It's intended by the City "to elevate the existing bicycle and pedestrian network to better serve non-motorized mobility, create connections to key destinations, and build upon Richardson’s efforts towards being a pedestrian- and bicycle- friendly community." It's nearing completion and a (final?) draft was presented to the City Council February 6, 2023.

POTD: The King of Medieval German Cuteness
From 2022 07 10 Rothenburg and Wurzburg |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Travel show host Rick Steves calls it "Germany's best-preserved walled town. Countless travelers have searched for the elusive "untouristy Rothenburg." There are many contenders, but none holds a candle to the king of medieval German cuteness."

POTD: Käthe Wohlfahrt
From 2022 07 10 Rothenburg and Wurzburg |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. If you're lucky enough to be in Germany in December, you probably have visited one of its town's famous Christmas markets. But even if you aren't in Germany at Christmastime, there's always Käthe Wohlfahrt year-round indoor Christmas store.
