Shannon (Boone's sister, not Ireland)

Now that the sodding University took out the Torero Grille, there are very few options for lunch and dinner (on the law school side). Because I had already eaten in the Deli for lunch, I decided to drive down to good ol' Santanas for a California burrito. To my dismay, the prices have again increased. I remember in 2001 when a California burrito was $4.00. Now it is $5.00. I didn't realize inflation was growing that fast.

So my energy law and policy class is incredibly boring. Which sucks because I was really excited for it. All the professors have done in the first three weeks is talk about the history of the electricity and natural gas markets. BORING. Get to the good stuff.

But it did get me thinking about paper topics. Actually I keep hearing about the largest transfer of wealth - our consumption of oil. Thus, we are funding our enemies - the 'terrorists.' But did people forget about how the 'terrorists' are funded in Afghanistan? POPPY PLANTS. What about our addiction to opium? How about you give up that morphine or codeine?

Santanas should take into consideration recent cheese prices:
Cheese Prices
·Cheese block prices have also plummeted recently as result of lower expectations for milk cow contraction. That is a positive for CEC.
·We noted this earlier, but pullback has continued. In the last week, cheese block prices fell 26 cents, or 13%, to $1.71/lb and in the last 2 weeks the price is off nearly 17% from $2.05/lb. This is near the lowest level in 15 months and down 11% from a year ago.
