It does not look good for Tibet. There are two stupas and other buildings of the Tibetans Buddhists n the San Luis Valley of Colorado. Land of a Spanish land grant is given to religious groups that will build there. There is also a Zen Center, an ashram and some others. Tsoknyi Rinpoche has 18k followers on Facebook. Have seen him speak in videos. He is good.
@Steve-Miller Yeah. Cunningham! I just don't have a big enough house--unless one is talking about house cleaning, then my house is too big!

Keeping the grass short helps keep tick populations down.

I retired from CPS in 2013, and I haven't kept up much. The political punishment is harsh and swift for those wanting to address these sorts of issues with simmering racial overtones involved. Layer on top of that the lack of national, state and city funding over the years for updating or replacing aging buildings has led to the current situation. The addition of charter schools with performance about the same as public schools has caused its share of student losses as well.
I use Dawn because I'd rather economize than buy what I'd rather have-- something without harsh chemicals.
It makes too many suds, and it's difficult and time consuming to rinse anything you wash with it, imho.
