Child tobacco workers

"Sell tobacco to minors and you are breaking the law, but put kids to work harvesting it in America's farmlands and you are on sound legal ground.  Yet an extensive new report from Human Rights Watch reveals that kids working in tobacco fields suffer from illness and injury at an alarming rate" says Eliza Krigman -- a Washington, D.C.-based journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post.  She writes about politics, business and lifestyle issues."

... early spring greens! .. park view.

I don't know about you, but I loooove the fresh, vibrant greens we can enjoy during early springs!  I know.  It might be a bit too late to be talking about "early spring" -- we are in May! -- but spring has arrived a bit late to Montreal (Quebec)!

No se vos, pero a mi me encantan los verdes -- frescos y vibrantes -- de la temprana primavera!  Y se que es un poco tarde para hablar de "temprana primavera" -- estando en Mayo! -- pero la primavera ha llegado un poquito tarde a Montreal (Quebec) este año!

Here's a small example of what I am referring to.

Aca hay un pequeño ejemplo de lo que me refiero.
