Two centuries after Lincoln's birth the nation is still in formation. As the United States has grown and expanded, one cost of that growth has been a splintering of many parts of our society. Competing values, interests and beliefs have complicated Lincoln's goal to find unity in our diversity.
The Bicentennial commemoration of his life and legacy will be a bright beacon to compelting our nation's "unfinished work."

Pricing Out Car Repairs, Before the Repairs
New York Times
Remember to always get an estimate before getting major auto repair. In Wisconsin, car repair shops must call you with an estimate before starting the work--if you ask for an estimate. Check with consumer protection for complaints about the repair shop. Call 1-800-422-7128. You might also check court records.

Reverend Ike, Who Preached Riches, Dies at 74
New York Times
A lot of Wisconsin consumers told me they received mailings and prayer cloths (a little square of fabric) from Rev. Ike promising riches from lotteries if you would send him some cash. He's the only one I know that got rich.
