So tired...

[netmouse]

Have not been getting enough sleep. I feel like I could sleep for days. Have begun shopping for a new mattress, which should help with the rest thing. Recommendations of stores or brands are welcome.

In other news, 60% of black kids in the U.S. can't swim and they suffer a much higher rate of drowning than white kids.

Uh, if anyone knows someone with black kids who don't know how to swim I'd be happy to give free lessons. I nearly drowned when I was a kid, but I have always loved swimming. I believe it would be best if every child were taught how to swim. I wonder how many public swimming pools there are in Detroit, compared to other cities, all of a sudden...

Oh... and I have a king-size SpringAir with a foam wrap around the outer sides. Love it, love it, love it. I can't tell you what model it is... except it's one level down from the individually wrapped coils, which seemed pointless.

I can second the whole SpringAir matress. We love ours!

All stores model names are different by chain, even though the mattress may be made identically. We got the Queen-size "Brasswood" model from US-Matress.com. They have a demonstration showroom up in Plymouth 453-1300. We paid ~$2,100 for the whole shebang with tax. No flip, no rotate..
