Kindell shares a story of how a friend's decision changed her life.

Music vibrated throughout the car creating a bubble of sound, much like a snow globe. The wind was catching our hair and creating a foreign dance only found in the far and desolate civilizations of the world. This isn't one of my best moments or one of my worst but it holds a place dear in my heart. Something as simple as riding in the car with one of my best friends fills me to the brim with happiness. Somehow it seems more significant than it really is, even though we've done it a million times. Maybe even a billion and one.

We pulled up with Heather's beaten down ten year-old car ready for adventure. The only thing that would make us more adventure-ready is if we had Indiana Jones to guide us in our mission. This particular time Heather had taken time off from her college and got her lazy butt up to drive to Texas, camera in hand. We got out of the car and made our way to the entrance, almost as if it was heaven itself; complete with a halo dancing over the door's head. It was one in the morning and almost completely empty except for one lone man vacuuming. We headed for my favorite isle: the ice cream isle.

Eric5675 reports on Whyville's latest additions.

Wow. I'm absolutely amazed at the changes going on in Whyville. From WhyTunes, to Pearls, to Pets, and more! It seems like the opportunities are endless! Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? No? Well then, let's take a look at some of the major changes coming to Whyville, but before we do, I'd like to congratulate and thank all of the City Workers for winning Whyville the Gold Award in the National Parenting Publications (NAPPA) Children's Products competition! It's awesome to see how our little community (which really isn't that little anymore . . .) impacts society.

So, back to changes. Let's groove to WhyTunes.

Now, this has been out for a little while, so I'm sure many of you have had a chance to explore the system. I can remember a system like iTunes for Scions being talked about for a long time, and now we finally have our own WhyTunes.
