Check out this Google thing! (SketchUp.Google.com) (I still cannot figure out how to put a link here. Someday...) This is amazing! If I had time, I could SketchUp my house, plan a garden, and figure out how much sun it would get so I could figure out what kinds of plants would work best where. AMAZING! AND THEN... Oh, sometimes, I wish there were more time! ON ANOTHER NOTE...I've received TWO emails about this...A WHOLE 'NOTHER KIND OF WOWEEE!! Harvard University has announced that from now on undergraduate students
from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement,
Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said,"When only 10 percent of the
students in Elite higher education come from families in lower half of the
income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in
bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income
distribution. "
If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor
student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay
the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on
undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free
.. no tuition and no student loans! In addition, Harvard announce reduced
fees for students from families with incomes between $60,000 and $80,000.
To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making
less than $60,000 a year visit Harvard's financial aid website

or call the school's financial aid office at (617) 495-1581. I did go read the article in the Harvard Gazette...and wow. I'm grateful that the lower income families and students are being given a break. And even some of the middle people...I wonder if extenuating circumstances would be taken into consideration...
