Adult Illiteracy

I was surprised when I heard this news in yesterday’s nightly news. Jay Leno mentioned about this in his monologue. Check news @ yahoo for more information.

“About one in 20 adults in the U.S. is not literate in English, meaning 11 million people lack the skills to handle many everyday tasks, a federal study shows.”

"So even as more people get a formal education, the literacy rate is not rising. Federal officials say this trend is puzzling and worthy of research."

It was very cold in the morning. I felt the chill even through my layered clothing. Nevertheless a cop car was looking for runners at the stop sign intersection of Bullock and El Camino Real.
