TMI (too much information)? Best blogs for military or veterans are reviewed at “Best of the Web” here: http://blogs.botw.org/Society/Military/Veterans/ Because too much information/opinion can be overwhelming, choose a few that you like to bookmark. You can also create your own ‘news aggregator’ at: http://paper.li/ - this is like having an assistant scour through your selected sources to deliver only the topics you are interested in! You just choose your topics, either pick your sources or choose ‘all’ and your e-mailed news comes to you, for free!
Is higher education ‘worth it?’ Here’s a PBS article on the financial aspects of higher education (although there are other reasons to keep learning): http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/will-your-college-degree-pay-for-itself-in-20-years/ Disclaimer: Note that those who attend community colleges pay significantly less for their tuition and there’s no mention of Student Veterans who receive Educational Benefits, so that is likely to make that ‘investment’ much smaller and the ‘payback’ much higher/quicker. Check this tool out to see if Yavapai College might be a better return on your investment of time and money: http://www.yc.edu/webtools/forms/netpricecalc/
Looking for a fun outdoor family event this weekend? Check out the Verde Valley Birding Festival at: http://birdyverde.org/ with free exhibits, and pre-registration/fees for guided birding walks. This popular event is held annually at Dead Horse Ranch State Park (http://azstateparks.com/Parks/DEHO/) Not sure what is going on in your area? Bookmark your local newspaper, city, or Chamber of Commerce Facebook or websites to stay informed.
