Thrift stores!

"I went thrift shopping before it was cool. I'm not a hipster; I'm just poor."

Heh; yeah. Almost everything I wear except socks and underwear ('cause, no) comes from the thrift stores.

Still, I do feel kind of cool shopping there and finding good stuff.

This is really cool. Looking at tax info for Kenosha as I continue my research into the history of the house I'm living in, I found that the 1869 tax rolls define property with measurements in rods, chains, and links.

This will be interesting to try to correlate to current property.

I'd like to learn ASL (American Sign Language) over the Summer. Does anyone know if there are classes in the the Kenosha or Chicago area? Free ones would be completely awesome, but I'd consider paying if I can afford it.

(I know, I should be studying. I'm making a lot of progress!)
