Notes:
What a great day in 6S! We did good work during research, moved forward on our essays and got inspired by the question "Is the community a utopia?" while planning for a debate next week. It was nice to see how thoughtful 6S is about our book. We've got some great ideas about the community.

Joke:

A motorist, after being bogged down in a muddy road, paid a passing farmer five dollars to pull him out with his tractor.
After he was back on dry ground he said to the farmer, "At those prices, I should think you would be pulling people out of the mud night and day."
"Can't", replied the farmer. "At night I haul water for the hole."
