  3. I'm thinking that was supposed to be Kate, but it could be a clever ruse.

  4. Answer to #2: blowing bubbles and watching them float away (just a little dish soap and water required); fly a kite in the park; go for a hike on a trail and see where it leads

  5. Question #1: No, I would not vote to raise the federal debt limit. We as individuals, as communities as a nation should strive to live within our means and our budget. As in question #2 sometimes I think maybe we need to reflect on our childhood. Saying that, whether it be blowing bubbles, flying kites, playing capture the flag until nightfall; or spending our allowance on candy and ice cream. If we wanted more candy and ice cream before the week was out, or wanted to save for something bigger, we had to budget and spend within our means. Is it really so different now? Should we not try to live within our means? Is it OK to spend what you don't have?

  6. Terri's analogy would be more accurate if the child had already eaten the candy and was deciding whether or not to pay for it. Defaulting on the debt would be a disaster for the U.S. economy and suggesting otherwise is naive.

  7. Re Question 2: a noncorporeal getaway is always cheap and fast, though fraught with peril, as Mose Allison will explain in this timeless video:
