The premise of “free college” programs popping up around the country in recent years is that bringing the price of higher education down to nearly nothing will spur more students to enroll and earn degrees. But is that what actually happens? David Monaghan, an associate professor of sociology at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, has been digging into that question in a series of recent research studies.

A couple of weeks ago, a coyote climbed the fence into my mother’s backyard and attacked one of her dogs, Cujo. The coyote only stopped its assault when Zoey, the 40+ lbs doberman puppy chased it off. My mother is convinced Zoey was just trying to play. Several weeks ago, her 50lbs collie mix died from internal trauma and now my mother is convinced the injuries were caused by a coyote attack.

I've had an account on Threads for over a year. I've now activated it on my phone again and will be sharing news and thoughts there instead for the foreseeable future.
