Aug. 3rd, 2010 19:29Monday July 2, 2010 First, errands. The Wedge coop, Minneapolis Central Library, Spire credit union.
Then the big event: Temple Israel's annual garage sale. It's held in the basement, not in a garage. (I think one could get a motorcycle in there, but not a car.)
The sale begins on Sunday, $5 entrance fee. Monday is full price; Tuesday half price with books $5 a bag; Wednesday bag sale.
I've developed a set of rules for Temple Israel sales. If I would be disappointed if an item isn't there on half-price day, I buy it. (Nothing more than a dollar this time.) Half-price day: if I would be disappointed not to find it still there on bag day, I buy it. Last year, I didn't go to the bag sale.
On to Aldi, where I bought some fruit.

When memory-related region of brain is damaged, other areas compensate, study finds
Many neuroscientists believe the loss of the brain region known as the amygdala would result in the brain's inability to form new memories with emotional content. New UCLA research indicates this is not so, and suggests that when one brain region is damaged, other brain regions can compensate. The research is published in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
