2013 and earlier Lexus RX 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
jpzy3 Posts: 11mar1an1 at least you are or still were in the running for an 09 RX350 this week. i've called around all week and i'm just told they are sold out in the northeast or given some crazy price of $39k. so i've given up too.
what features does the MDX have over the rx350? maybe i should start looking at the MDX as well... -
brianbjg Posts: 5Purchased a 2010 LX350 AWD, with Premium,Comfort, Navigation, Towing, Leather/Wood, wheel locks, remote start, glass breakage packages, mats, roof rack crossbars (everything but 16 speaker radio and rear DVD screens) today at Lexus of Watertown, MA.
Paid 5 percent over dealer invoice, which saved around $3250 off of the sticker. -
rparis Posts: 368Thank you. If you don't mind my asking did you ask for a greater discount and agreed at 5% over invoice. Without negotiating they had offered me about $2500 off on a car with a few less of the smaller options . I am still debating if I want to trade an older RX. With the economy so bad I wonder if Lexus will provide some marketing support in the reasonable near future.
Thanks again -

anthonyerco Posts: 1Well, I just puchased my 2009 Lexus RX350 at North Park Lexus @ San Antonio with the level 3 Premuim Plus package which includes navigation and the mark levingston sound system for $37,000. I had to work them pretty hard and I called their bluff a few times but I finally got the deal I wanted. I purchased the car from Bill Williamson. He will work with you and he will give you what you want for your trade... Hope this helps

mar1an1 Posts: 38If you are still in the market for the RX350 and happened to be in NJ, try calling Prestige lexus. If they still have the cars, then bargain with them. Seriously, they've had these cars with NAV for weeks ever since I started talking to them. And you're right, they also wanted $39k for each one of them. Tsk... tsk... tsk..
The thing about 09 MDX that I like the most is the SH-AWD. It's one of the best. From what I read, RX350 has tons of problems with it's F/AWD (late production of 2009 and even get carried over to the 2010. I will post the posting that I found regarding this). Besides, MDX has one of the best Navigation system, and third row seating available. Many will try to say that the 3rd row seating is totally useless (for child and pets only), but it's better to have it then not.
The interior and exterior of RX350 have not been redesigned for years. It still has the tape deck audio system. And when I asked the salesperson why the tape deck and not the IPod, he said that because it was going to cost too much to redesign when the cars have been ordered for manufacturing years ago. Not sure if this is true or not, but I just feel that if I want to dump that much money for a car, it better be perfect and not outdated!
For the price around $38k, you can get a fully loaded MDX (Tech Package which include NAV + backup camera, reliable SH-AWD, redesigned exterior/interior in the color combo that you want, and not settle for whatever the Lexus dealership has). That's the way I look at it... It's a bit more if you want the one with the Sport Package. You should really test drive the car to see the difference between them two. I made a mistake of not doing enough research the last time I bought a car (06 Subaru Legacy Turbo 2.5GT Limited) and realized that I was had by the salesperson!!!! :mad: So, I will take my sweet time this time around to get something that I really want on my terms too.... The way that the economy is going, it's a buyer's market -
mar1an1 Posts: 38RE: Posting on 2010 RX350 F/AWD. In my humble opinion, Acura SH-AWD is one of the best at the moment. The same system was first rolled out in 05 RL (we own the 05 RL, thus far, no complaint).
>> The 2010 RX350 (and the Toyota Venza) F/awd system was adopted from the Ford Escape/Mariner/Tribute design and is WORSE than the previous RX F/awd system by a WIDE measure.
>> The new 2010 RX350 F/awd system, like the Ford Escape, uses direct drive from the transaxle output to the rear driveshaft. At the end of the rear driveshaft a "linear" electric clutch is used to modulate, modify, the level of engine torque, 0-50%, delivered to the rear diff'l.
The functionality of Braking, ABS, VSC, EBD, etc, depends on the rear driveline being INSTANTLY decoupled upon activation of any of these "features", and that is the Lexus procedure.
The way I read the information the only time(s) the rear drive line will be automatically "coupled" is under HARD acceleration or with front wheelspin/slip arising from too much engine torque being used for road surface conditions. There is an intimation that OAT, COLD OAT will play a part in the level of torque automatically delivered to the rear drive line.
If the clutch is fully locked, as it can be up to 18MPH under driver pushbutton control, the driveline and tires will be forced to "absorb" any stress due to high roadbed traction. If the clutch is only partially closed/engaged then the clutch itself will be forced to absorb any undue driveline stresses, stressing.
The Ford manual WARNS that in this circumstance, linear clutch overheating, the system may go to FULL engagement or be disabled altogether and advises the driver that should this happen the procedure to follow is to pull over long enough for the rear linear clutch to cool off.
Toyota and Lexus have been notoriously lax with this type of advice so I suspect we will not see this CAUTION note in any Toyota or Lexus owners manual until maybe 2013.
While I am NOT a strong fan of the current RX's F/awd it can be made more functional than the new one. The current model uses a fully OPEN center diff'l that will allocate the engine drive torque 50/50 F/R just as long as both "ends" have equal, roughly equal, traction with the road surface.
The "secret" to making use of the current system is to assure that F/R roadbed traction is ALWAYS roughly EQUAL. I do that by installing all four tire chains in times of need.
The only option with the new system would be to "wire" the rear clutch fully closed and disable one of the front drive halfshafts. You would then have a RWD vehicle, ultimately more safe than the new F/awd RX350.
I have been seriously considering the purchase of a Mercury Mariner hybrid (now with VSC) and should I do so it would go immediately into the shop for a REMCO front halfshaft modification and I would "hot-wire" the rear clutch fully closed.
RWD but with part-time 4WD capability via manually engaging the REMCO halfshaft coupling device. -
jpzy3 Posts: 11yes, i'm in NJ and I think got the $39k quote from Prestige too. they'll probably wait til the last day of the promo and if no one bites at the high price, they'll sell it to their friends at the low price.
i guess i should go test drive the MDX. i've heard many good things, but acuras never really did anything for me. however, if it drives well, it maybe enough to convince me b/c I've already had my share of impulsive car shopping and i'm done - although i had lots of fun with those 2 impulsive buys.
i test drove the volvo XC90 this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. i actually test drove it to confirm i should cross it off my list, but instead it's back on the list.
also test drove the BMW X5 and was hoping i wouldn't like it soo much(i am biased towards bmw) and now that's definitely on the top of my list. can't beat that bmw-handling. but I can't see spending that much money on a new car so i may go used.
i did cross the cayenne off my list. test drove a cayenne base although the one I drove might've had issues. i guess i was looking for anything to cross it off my list - the maintenance is too costly.
i'm looking for a good quality vehicle at a very discounted price in this economy. a co-worker is also looking for a new subaru, but even subaru is not budging on price. i thought it was a buyer's car market too - what's the deal?! or should i say where are the deals in NJ?
i was actually in the market for a used vehicle and this lexus marketing support through me for a loop b/c of the big discount. unfortunately, i found out about it too late. warnock said they were sold out of the 09 RXs a couple weeks ago and didn't have to go anywhere near $11k under list.
i'll let you know how i like the MDX. maybe we can go in together and get a deal for two. thanks for posting that info on AWD. -
jpzy3 Posts: 11Does maintenance come with a new lexus purchase?
I'm more familiar with BMWs and maintenance is included for first 4yrs/50,000mi. I thought it was included with a Lexus purchase as well, but from what I gathered from the service forum it isn't. Someone mentioned they pre-paid for maintenance... anyone recommend what a good price is and for how long are the contracts? -

mar1an1 Posts: 38Check out the Acura MDX forum Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences. There are several of us who're holding back together in NJ!!
They too have good incentives. And if you happen to like MDX, the best price around North Jersey is supposedly Acura of Ramsey. Somebody in the Acura forum was able to get a deal at $38500 (09 MDX with Tech Package) with 2.9 or 3.9% APR for 5 yrs. If you like the X5, you will be pleasantly surprised with the MDX. MDX rides totally differently than Lexus or BMW though. In my humble opinion, it's more sporty and rugged. Performance wise, it blows Lexus and BMW. And their electronic gadgets also blow their competitors. In terms of services, this is where I'm not too happy about. We went to several Acura dealerships to service our RL and they rarely have any loaners available. You have to make an appointment like at least 3 days in advance. HQ Customer Services follow up dilligently with most complaints though. A colleague owns a Lexus and he told me that Lexus' HQ Customer Care never follows up on complaints. Only on praises.... that's why they have "over the chart" customer satisfaction... hehehe....
Subaru isn't going to budge their prices. While other car manufacturers suffer, Hyundai and Subaru are actually doing very well in comparison. Please tell your coworker to stay away from Ramsey Subaru or any other Ramsey Auto Group (Acura of Ramsey is not a part of this group). They got sued and lost due to their unethical business practices, and still they scam at every possible opportunity. We got scammed and I would never forgive/forget it. Will find out the name of the salesperson and post it on ripoff.com. That should teach him a lesson... Subaru itself is not a bad car. It's a high performance car (at least mine is). But the electronic gadget is sooooo outdated.... HQ Customer care is somewhat descent, though you really have to make your case with them.
Anyway just my 2 cents. I'll never consider cayenne.... it's too much hassle, and not enough ROI. My Subaru has the same boxer engine... not sure how long it will last as this is the first time ever I own a subaru, but crossing my finger. :shades: -

md_outback Posts: 185Hey soonercat,
Are you sure about that 59% residual? That's actually a very favorable 3 year figure as most vehicles are now listed in the low 50% to high 40% range for 3-year residuals (typically based on 10K or 12K miles per year). Many manufacturers were bitten pretty hard with lease returns that had a market value well under the buyout price, so they reacted by reducing the residuals. A residual of 59% could save you about $80/month compared to a 52% residual for a new RX (using their standard .00275 money factor and guessing at a typical price). Then again, it is a 2010 model and it is still early 2009 on my calendar, so maybe that's figured into the 59% figure.

Facts about Speranza
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
My name is Speranza!
Speranza's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Speranza means lucky in Italian and this guy is. Found in the road between lanes of traffic, Speranza had obviously been hit by a car. Moved off the road by a Cincinnati Cats volunteer and taken to hospital, the outcome of this story was not certain. Mostly feral and suffering from a seriously broken pelvis Speranza had a lot to overcome. In addition to his injuries, his fear of humans added to the difficulty of treating him. With time, he has learned to trust the humans around him and actually enjoys their company. What Speranza really wants, however, is the company of other cats.
Only those who have experience working with semi-feral cats will be considered for adopting Speranza. He has become very affectionate and sleeps in bed with his people now, but still retains some feral tendencies that will take time to ease. There are some physical limitations from his injuries and he will require close monitoring for the rest of his life. email@example.com

Of course, Barrett is primarily known for the years he spent with Bob Marley, and that's as it should be; practically no one outside of Kingston, Jamaica, had heard Marley's name until his vocal trio (featuring Bunny "Wailer" Livingstone and Peter Tosh) hooked up with Barrett's band. But Barrett claims that this famous team might never have come together had he been blessed with better pipes.
"That was my first general approach to music--I wanted to sing," Barrett reveals from his Jamaican home. But his voice, which, as he laughingly demonstrates, resembles the squawk of a tortured parrot, was not up to the challenge. "I guess I find that area of the music taken care of, you know?" he says. "So I take a different curve."
Before long, Barrett gravitated toward the bass guitar. He taught himself to play as a child, and by immersing himself in soul, funk and jazz, he learned how to convey subtle nuances on his ax of choice. He subsequently formed a makeshift band with his brother Carlton and friend Max Romeo, who went on to fame as a singer. "We were just flexin' as youths, just playin' music," he recalls. The group was so informal, in fact, that it didn't even have a name when the players were discovered. "There was a manager for a hotel called the Flamingo that was looking for a resident band to play there in the times that they got tourists in and things like that," Barrett explains. "Someone who worked there was passing by and heard us rehearsing and come in and look at us and say, 'Look dem youth. Dem look like musicians, not bad boys. Just different; down to earth.' He liked the way we sound. He say we sound the way we look."
This talent scout arranged an audition, and for the tryout, the three nascent performers chose to play the ska music that was then all the rage. Their efforts went so well that they were hired immediately--as long as they came up with a suitable moniker, that is. Fortunately, the hotel manager came to the rescue. "The manager see how we look and hear us play and she say, 'You guys remind me of the hippies.' So we ended up being the Hippie Boys."
The appellation wasn't chosen at random. Since most of the tourists who vacationed in Jamaica during the early Sixties were from the United States, the musicians who played the circuit did whatever they could to Americanize themselves. Ska helped them do so: It was derived from the so-called Jamaican boogie of the late Fifties, but it caught on with U.S. visitors because of its kinship with jazz and swing music.
Unfortunately for the Hippie Boys, Jamaica's tourist industry began to dry up after the country won its independence, in 1962. But around the same time, an indigenous recording industry sprang up to provide other employment opportunities. Barrett and company quickly became session men working under some of the island's premier producers.
"We do a lot of session gigs in the studio for Lee Perry, who was another kind of revolutionary-type people, and him love the sound that he hear from us," Barrett notes. "We work with Bruce Ruffing, Derrick Morgan, Burning Spear, Justin Hines, Delroy Wilson, John Holt, Slim Smith of the Uniques, and many, many others."
In those days, producers tried to set themselves apart from their competitors via studio bands that worked for them exclusively. Barrett, however, didn't want to limit himself to performing for only one label, so he came up with a plan to rechristen his combo for every new producer who hired it. "For Perry, we called ourselves the Upsetters," he says. "For Joe Gibbs, we added a singer and called ourselves the Reggae Boys. The last name that we work under before we join with the Wailers was called Youths Professional, because I figured that is what we are. So we had some distinguished names, I tell you."
Barrett's scheme came to an end--not because he ran out of good handles, but because the band landed a gig so good that it didn't need any others. Perry, whose relatively diminutive stature stood in direct contrast to his power as a starmaker, paired his foremost vocal group, the Wailers, with the Upsetters, and the combination became an immediate smash. After scoring with blockbusters like "The Return of Django," Barrett says, "we decided to swing with the small guy."

I have a 1/2 hp Sears Craftsman garage door opener that will open with any of the devices, such as the wall mounted controller, the key pad, as well as the standard remotes and my homelink button in our Trailblazer. The problem I have, is it will only close with the wall mount controller and the key pad. However even with these you must hold the button until it is closed completely. The standar remotes including the homelink, will enage it, but it stops as soon as you hit the button and the light blinks. Holdong the button on any of these devices does not help. Also when it is open, the light remains on, until it is closed, which may be a few hours later. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Mon, May 5, 08 at 18:34
If when you try to close it with the remotes the main light flashes 10 times and the door reverses to the open position it is a problem with the door sensors. Most commonly these get bumped and misaligned. They must be pointing at one another to work properly. They each have a small light and when properly aligned the lights will be lit and not flickering. Tweak them a bit. |
Thank you very much. It turned out that one of the sensors was pointing slightly upward. I lowered it and the garage door works fine. That save me $230 on buying a new opener. Again thank you. |

Guest comment by Neal Carter
Neal Carter has worked around the globe as a bioresource engineer for ~30 years, and through this experience became convinced of the value of agricultural biotechnology. This led him to found Okanagan Specialty Fruits and the road to commercialization for their flagship product, nonbrowning Arctic® apples, has become a polarizing issue.
U.S. response to Arctic apples provides insights on biotech debate
By Neal Carter
Neal Carter"A great innovative product for the consumer, which cannot in the wildest imagination be less healthy than conventional apples" vs. "No genetically modified foods…EVER!!" The U.S. public comment period on Arctic apples came to a close on September 11, with the above comments providing telling examples of the polarized response that Okanagan Specialty Fruits' (OSF) biotech-enhanced nonbrowning apple generated.
Crops produced through biotechnology have been widely consumed in the United States for over 15 years and around 70-80% of processed foods contain them, yet it remains an emotionally charged topic. Even though OSF uses apple genes in their transformation process and the fruit contains no new proteins (unlike many products on the market today), Arctic apples have become a lightning rod for the biotech debate.
When the U.S. Department of Agriculture opened up the 60-day comment period on July 13, 2012 Arctic apples were just one of twelve biotech crops whose petitions were simultaneously released for public review and comment. Two months later, its petition generated 1,939 comments, far more than any of the eleven other petitions. This includes petitions from Monsanto, the giant in the industry, but all four of their petitions combined generated just 1/4 as many comments as OSF's single petition.
Since apples are seen as one of the most wholesome foods in existence, a more emotional response than canola or soybeans is predictable, and that's exactly what occurred. Even so, a clear trend is evident when you look at the petition's comments. The positive comments are largely from well-credentialed scientists and members of the agriculture or biotechnology industries who are very familiar with the science and safety of biotech-enhanced crops. The negative comments are largely based off fear of all biotechnology and incorrectly suggest that any genetically engineered food is dangerous.

differential equation
differential equation
Mathematical statement that contains one or more derivatives. It states a relationship involving the rates of change of continuously changing quantities modeled by functions. Differential equations are very common in physics, engineering, and all fields involving quantitative study of change. They are used whenever a rate of change is known but the process giving rise to it is not. The solution of a differential equation is generally a function whose derivatives satisfy the equation. Differential equations are classified into several broad categories. The most important are ordinary differential equations (ODEs), in which change depends on a single variable, and partial differential equations (PDEs), in which change depends on several variables. See also differentiation.

Quench Hydrating Serum has the distinction of being Somerville's best-selling product, and is said to be a red-carpet favorite. That's great marketing copy, because if a celebrity is doing it, then it must be good, right? (However, there are hundreds of celebrities and they are not all using the same products.)
Press claims aside, this is one of the better products Somerville sells. It has a beautifully smooth, silicone-based texture that makes skin feel like silk, and it provides potent cell-communicating ingredients and antioxidants, including retinol, all in stable packaging. Quench Hydrating Serum is fragrance- and preservative-free (preservatives are not required because the product is non-aqueous) and assuredly one of the better serums out there. Now this would be money well spent, though you can find less expensive, equally well formulated serums with retinol, including Paula's Choice RESIST Intensitve Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum which, on balance, offers more benefits than Somerville's option.
This advanced complex is designed to pull essential moisture in deep and lock it there.
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Ethylhexy Stearate, Cyclomethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Ethylhexyl Cocoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Water, Retinol, Sodium Ascorbate, Tocopherol, Lecithin, Glycolipids, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylyl Glycol
The woman behind this line is a Los Angeles–based aesthetician who owns her own clinic, which specializes not only in aesthetic services but also in cosmetic corrective procedures involving injections (dermal fillers), lasers, Botox, and the like. The clinic is staffed with a doctor and nurses, which is definitely what you want if you're considering services beyond a facial or a massage.
The selling points of this line are Somerville's years of experience in the aesthetics industry and her allegedly devoted celebrity clientele. As such, her products and famous clientele get press in the pages of fashion magazines, which explains why we routinely get asked about this skin-care line. Somerville herself is every bit as attractive as her star clients, and the information on her Web site is presented in such a way that you sincerely believe she has your skin's best interests in mind. And wouldn't you want to trust your skin's needs to a professional who also tends to celebrities?
Knowing all these details, we were anticipating that most of the products bearing Somerville's name would be state-of-the-art slam dunks. Alas, many of them are far afield from that level of formulation. When it comes to giving skin what it needs to function as healthily and normally as possible (and, at these prices, that's what you should expect), this line is, unfortunately, hit or miss. What Somerville knows about giving an amazing facial is one thing, but she clearly missed the research that proves how problematic several of the plant oils that she uses can be. A professional concerned with the health of her clients' skin shouldn't be formulating products with cinnamon, grapefruit, and lavender oils, among others.
If we were one of Somerville's clients, we'd certainly take her to task for that oversight, but we'd also want to know why she offers only one sunscreen and doesn't offer any effective AHA or BHA exfoliants. A discussion of advanced skin science and state-of-the-art ingredients is not sufficient if your product line has gaps: limited sun protection options, no reliable exfoliants, no non-drying cleansers, and a complete lack of options to treat skin discolorations (pigment irregularities, unlike blackheads, cannot be manually extracted, which makes the absence of a skin lightening product an issue).
This product line may not be the one you want to build your skin-care routine around, but there are some exceptional products. Of all the aesthetician-backed lines we've reviewed, none come as close to providing the level of formulary excellence of many of Somerville's moisturizers and serums. They're pricey, but if you're going to spend in excess for skin-care products, you should be doing so on products that stand a very good chance of markedly improving your skin's appearance. We are curious to see how this product line will expand and (hopefully) improve over the years. The current mishmash of awesome and awful products makes it risky to shop this line blindly (or on the sole rationale of a celebrity endorsement), but with careful consideration to avoid irritants you can find some products of value. Hopefully, she will expand the line to fill in the current gaps (especially for sun protection) and eliminate the irritants.

Every time I try a product that celebs "love," I wind up with greasy skin and acne. All I can say is all of that professional makeup and lighting must be super drying for celebs to have such dry skin. As far as this serum goes, now matter how much you apply, it does not absorb into the skin. It is extremely heavy and feels like pure silicone. I only use it under extreme circumstances, such as when skiing otherwise I'm certain that I would also be here searching reviews for acne products.
I used to use KS products before I found PC skin care. Like many of KS products they are effective but pricey so I could not keep them stocked on my vanity. I liked this skin care line but I LOVE PC! Paula's Choice's retinol product is much more elegant to use AND half the cost. And my skin looks much smoother. Now I make sure I never run out.
Purchased this based upon Paula's review. This is a very heavy serum with an awful sensory experience. When I put it on, it is so slick that it felt like I was putting on baby oil. I kept trying to rub it in but it wouldn't absorb. Eventually, it did dry but left an oily film on my skin. There was no silkiness. Read reviews on some other sites and it breaks many people out. Will be returning this!
Tried this serum for my dry skin and it made it feel like silk! Texture is similar to Paula's Choice Restist Antioxidant serum, but I feel Paula's was a little thicker. It is pricey, but if that doesn't bother you then try this one for dry skin.

Betsy Stiefvater
Clerk of Session
Hello! My name is Betsy Stiefvater and I am the Clerk of Session. I have been a member of RPC for 4 years and find this church to be full of wonderful, fun, and friendly people, who have helped me progress and grow in my faith. I am excited to be a part of RPC's leadership at this time in our history. We are always learning and trying new things, discerning where God wants our church to be involved in our community and the world.
As the Clerk of the Session, I am responsible for making sure that the actions of the Church are well-documented and consistent with Presbytery policies of a well-run Church. As such, we maintain records of governance and committee meetings that meet the expectations of the congregation and our governing bodies. We are subject to annual audits and it is my responsibility to make sure that our records and operations meet high standards.
I have been married to my husband, Joe Draetta, for 12 years, and we have 3 young children. We also are the proud "parents" of 2 cats, a dog and various fish. I am a veterinarian (part- time), so I have to have animals around!

Visible surface of the Sun, about 250 mi (400 km) thick. It emits most of the Sun's light that reaches Earth directly. Temperatures range from about 18,000 °F (10,000 °C) at the bottom to 8,000 °F (4,000 °C) at the top; its density is about 1/1,000 that of air at the surface of Earth. Sunspots are photospheric phenomena. The photosphere has a granular structure. Each grain (cell), a mass of hot gas several hundred miles in diameter, rises from inside the Sun, radiates energy, and sinks back within minutes to be replaced by others in a constantly changing pattern.

It's Read Across America Day. I thought I'd share a Beginning Reader Idea.
I hope this is not too Off Topic for you. If anyone feels that I'm branching out too much - if the posts are not closely enough aligned with this forum - don't hesitate to tell me.
This is a book I created over 5 years ago for my first grandchild when she entered kindergarten. It's based on the Dick and Jane series. Sample pages from the book can be found here. |
Follow-Up Postings:
OA, love your book! I can see from this that you are not only a Super GMa but must of been an awesome teacher also. What an inspiration to teach your GKids to read. For you to take the time to make a book is something more than wonderful. So glad you shared another great idea on your bolg. Punk |

Ohhh, OA, you ARE absolutely driving me 'nuts!' ...with your artistic abilities & fun pics! You certainly replicated the Dick & Jane series w/love added! What blessings for your Gr-kids at that time & for those now reading the book! You were way before the time of creating photo books online! RAMM (Read Across America Day) IS a HOLIDAY (in my book, anyway! (pun intended) Schools around here have begun the RAMM (Read a Million Minutes) & I'm sure there are lots of 'famous' people out today (mayors, police chiefs, athletes, principals, on & on ...out reading Dr Seuss or their fav author in the classrooms!) Thanks for the memories! Keep sharin! Loving it! Jeanne S. |
