Monday Knowledge

1. The foot blisters at the beginning of July? From the athlete's foot cream. Got them again, dang it! ITCH!

2. The wedding/dance/puzzle hunt on Saturday? Wonderful! And the bride and groom were amazingly beautiful in their tux and dance dress. And advanced squaredancing uses calls I've never heard before that are amazingly precise.

3. Guess what? Guys who are about 3 or 4 say "Guess what?" a lot as a conversational starter. I am working with some youth on bird identification and building The Most Useless Machine.

4. Evidence of termites in house has returned: time to go look for damage.

5. Pennsic, Burning Man, vacation...I want to get a job so I can go on a vacation!

Every day I learn of cool new things.
