Check with your county ag society (or local beekeeper group) for what native plants bees like in your area. Plant them. Don't plant non-native stuff -- it generally requires too much care & water. Wildflowers can be cool, too, and are a great family activity [1].

[1] Get a native wildflower seed blend (they are cheap!). Replace a large portion of your lawn with native flowers. Some are perennials. Don't let your children read the container for what seeds were in the blend -- as the flowers sprout, grow, and flower, you can catalog them with your family. Check out reference books from the library to identify plants as a family project over the summer. In late summer and fall, collect seed pods, and plant again in the spring. Share any extra seeds with your neighbors or your children's classes. Some species won't make it next year -- which ones? Out of a blend of 30 seeds, maybe half aren't suited for your environment. Why? Of the plants that do germinate and flower, which do insects appear to be drawn to? What insects can your family identify? Again, books from the library can help here. It's fun, cheap, and replaces ecologically useless grass with a learning experience.

And if you cannot, you should not be driving.

Seriously, more people should stay off the road during inclement weather or ice!

I do wonder how many groups are holding out on 0-days until after support ends.

Kirby: Some studies are linking them to autism

Please link all of these studies.

On the flip side, there is this tragedy from Texas and the horribly broken licensing and board systems: http://www.texasobserver.org/anatomy-tragedy/
