Meg talks about her brother dismantling things in his youth. I have memories of my brother dismantling things too, although it was never computers (we only had Etch-a-Sketch back then).

Unlike Meg, however, I don’t possess many fixing skills, so inevitably rely on big brother or dad to fix stuff.

today is World AIDS Awareness Day.

In parts of Africa, teachers and doctors are dying from AIDS faster than new ones are being trained, and entire generations have been wiped out or are orphaned.
Everyone can do something to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS – wander here for some useful “tips”.
