WUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNderful!!!!

I am loving this!

When my daughter was little, I bought her a black Barbie.

She had lots of Barbies. And then, Mattel came out with an international line of Barbies. So we had a Chinese Barbie and a Princess Jasmine Barbie, too. And there were lots of lessons that just automatically got absorbed without needing any lectures or commentary. There were also cultural lessons from the international Barbies - the outfits they came in as well as the countries or parts of the world they "came from". It all worked to widen her outlook. Not all mommies came the same way as the one she was issued. Her mommy worked in a career she loved (gave it up because a couple of "somethings" had come along whom she loved more).

Let's look at the track record so far (Another "Moment of Nerd")

Frankly, now I'm watching to see how quickly the US cases and deaths hit new round numbers: 2.4 million cases, 123-thousand deaths. I have noticed that death rates are slowing, but they're still going up.

But HOLY COW, almost NINE-AND-A-HALF MILLION cases worldwide?
