This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Your neighborhood is pretty safe for a Pirate's Booty run.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go Casper! (Go flea!)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And the weather radar shows snow flurries in the higher mountains. Yup.

If she were going for real pirates' booty and not snack food, I might worry.
How times have changed. I walked four blocks by myself to buy comic books and penny candy when I was 8, and I don't think my mother gave it a second thought. That fact that it really was penny candy gives this post a distinctly archaic air.

So, do you like live over a Whole Foods? I'm not sure where I could go in 7 minutes, but I sure couldn't complete a WF transaction.

I walked to the corner store with a $20 bill myself, at age 8, and lost it somehow along the way. I was devastated (my mother was actually quite understanding; I must have been a hard kid to discipline, because I self-punished so well.) On the plus side, I can now send her to run errands at WF (although it's tricky - how do you ask for a dozen eggs, not the omega-3 fortified or the free-range, just the straight local ones). On the negative side, she may take it into her head to go buy snacks all the time now.
One issue with kids' independence these days is it's so hard to safely walk in a lot of places. We live in an affluent, in-city, "walkable" neighborhood, and there are BIG streets with poorly-sited crosswalks, places with sidewalks that just die, places with no sidewalks...
