Separating the wheat from the chaff

Just a couple of articles that caught my eye today.....

• The summer joys of fresh tomatoes and the work needed to farm them is described in a great article in today's Boston Globe.
• A rare site, the Christian Science Monitor has a very good, non-partisan report on McCain & Obama's energy plans as contrasted to the city of Austin, TX energy plan. A well written piece that is more than just a mouthpiece for campaign talking points (that's a rarity).
• And lastly, in the midst of a summer heat wave, check out a brief history of the bikini slideshow on Slate.com
