May we direct your attention...




... to Jaxonia's newest addition, our 'favorite blogs' section? Chock-a-block full of goodies it is, but the real coup is the Obama favorite. It's true, and the site has become required reading for the West Wing. You'll just have to click on it to discover what it is, but here's even more incentive -- it's got the BEST right-hand column on the internet!

Time for a re-read




Healthcare is on the table, and there's so much misinformation floating around, the average citizen has a hard time making sense of any of it. Click on the headline to go back to what Jaxonia originally said about this problem. It's really a simple situation. We have lousy health care. There's a bill before Congress to make it better. This isn't brain surgery!

Nuna 5 crashes, Eleanor fades, longshot from Japan wins Aussie Solar Challenge

Japan's Tokai Challenger won this year's Adelaide, Australia Solar Challenge and despite an horrendous crash, the four-time Netherlands' Delft University team, 'Nuna 5', still managed a second-place finish.



The much-vaunted MIT entrant, Eleanor, faded to fifth place, but the U.S. was well represented by a third-place finish from a University of Michigan team. Sunswift IV, a homey from New South Wales, finished fourth.


All the entrants are powered only by the sun, and the Tokai Challenger averaged over 100 km per hour to win the 3000 km Darwin-to-Adelaide race.

The Demise of Real Bread


Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when men were men and a plain old loaf of white bread was BREAD -- wholesome, nutritious, even tasty!

The stuff the supermarkets stock today, no matter how many daffodils are painted on the wrapper, no matter what picturesque 'farm' houses the bakery, no matter what Pennsylvania Dutch sect is responsible, all those modern loaves are creepy -- they have a shelf life of MONTHS, they actually get softer for the first few days, and they taste like aerated styrofoam.


Do yourself a big favor:

Run to your nearest bakery and buy a loaf of plain white bread (They've got it in the back room somewhere, behind the streuzels) Order it UNSLICED. Now you're back in control of your bread destiny... thin slices for toast, thick slabs for sandwiches, and an actual bread touch, feel and smell!


Click on the headline, and read the horror story of modern bread -- you'll never go back!
