Some Surprising Information

I make microloans through Kiva. I started doing this after reading _Half the Sky_. While we were in Peru, our trip leader dug out some interesting information that makes me very glad I loan.

Gross National Income Per Capita in US Dollars:

USA - $33,070

Mexico - $5,778

Peru - $1,898

Guatemala - $1,629

Bolivia - $911

Otherwise, I got 2 classes of supplies cleaned out, sorted and organized in my studio today: coloring agents and paper. Since it's after midnight and I'm tired, you won't get any more information out of me than that. I also got my desk significantly cleaned off of stuff I don't need every day to make stuff. Shasta Sue Latte and Stuart Little provided personal assistance.

We went out for lunch at Fig. They had just made fresh pasta. I had mine "alfredo" with some seriously garlicky garlic bread. Oh yum. Lots of leftovers for dinner. God bless leftovers.
