Other MP3 Alternatives
“Cnet”:http://reviews.cnet.com/Music/2001-6450_7-0.html? has gone through a list of alternatives. None as easy as the iPod, but they can all at least play WMA format which is need for “KCLS”:http://kcls.org content: * “Samsung Yepp YP-Z5”:http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_Yepp_YP_Z5_4GB_silver/4505-6490_7-31644076-2.html?tag=nav.

SanDisk Sansa c100 and c200
DailyTech – SanDisk announces several new flash-based MP3 players. I love our iPods, but King County only does WMA format files for audio books.

Eastside Express
Eric runs this (Marat used to) and they are reliable. The Russian emigrants seem to dominate this, like my cousins do restaurants for instance. In any case, they don’t have the huge humeersines, but basic Lincoln Town Cars. Very reliable though and terrific folks.

Kids loved it

Interesting, but really not worth the price
We went through the Science Fiction Museum and it was OK. As P.M. says, it takes just an hour to through there and it really isn’t super worth it. Nice to see some of the trivia, but seems like they should just throw it in as part of the EMP fees. If you are looking…

Croquet, Stomp Rockets, Pool Toys, Scooters…
Our kids just love that. It is amazing how entertaining it is. Just make sure you get the plastic mallets and not the hard wood ones. Also for that age, I’m assuming you mean summer toys, other things that the kids loved (I’m afraid ours are past that age now!) are: * Stomp rockets. These…
