Reading:
1. Pay for Soup, Build a Fort, Burn That Down by Spencer Dew - This is Spencer's lasted publication on Theives Jargon, and it is a great piece of fiction.
2. Makers of Soda Try a New Pitch: They're Healthy by Andrew Martin - Coke and Pepsi to add vitamins and minerals to pop in an attempt to appear healthy. I'm not surprised, but I am dissapointed because many people will be fooled.
