Chocolate is good for you

We need more studies like this.

But remember the disclaimer: Chocolate can have benefits IF combined with otherwise healthy eating and exercise.

I think I’ll ride over to Logli this afternoon so I can buy something to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Do you think they’ll get the money?

It looks like Gov. Rod Blagojevich has decided to release money that was promised to Illinois’ soil and water conservation districts, the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service offices and other ag-related groups.

Folks in the comptroller’s office said they’d write the checks as soon as they had authorization. As of late Wednesday, they were still waiting.

The gov got a lot of flack for holding back the money. As unpopular as he is  right now, he had to do something to deflect criticism.

But if I were involved with one of the agencies that’s waiting for money, I wouldn’t celebrate until I got the check or maybe not until the check cleared.
