Sunrise and sunset in Nice - France
This is an easy way to check on sunrise and sunset on Mont Boron, especially during the "shoulder" periods when Mont Boron and the US make daylight savings changes on different dates.

"Les prix des produits alimentaires ont flambé entre novembre et janvier" - Lemonde.fr
This is not good news. Le Monde reports a huge increase in prices for basic food during the last three months - more than 5%.

Garbage
Garbage
One of the great sevices here on Mt Boron are the various garbage collection services. "Regular" garbage is picked up 5 nights every week (Saturday and Wednesday are the exceptions). Recycling, more than we are able to do in North Carolina, is picked up every Wednesday night. We can take newspapers, magazines and all matter of glass to a collection center which is only a 10 minute walk from our home. The only item we normally recycle in North Carolina that seems not to have a home here are plastic bags. The net result of all this is that in the last three weeks living here, I have had to put out no "regular" garbage and the garbage can now has one small plastic bag in it. Oh yes, we compost all the compostable items in our garden.
