About once a year we get weather cold enough at night to make ice on the fountain.
This is that time this year. 28 degrees last night. Headed for 25 degrees tonight! Then the next night, the end of the polar vortex, it should be about 50.
Feed the dogs in the morning. If one piece of kibble spills out onto the kitchen counter, Jesse knows. She can’t see the countertop from where she is on the floor, but her nose knows. After she eats, she’ll stand in the kitchen and moan. Go there and ask what’s wrong and she’ll run to the closest spot to the counter and look up. Even if you can’t see it at first, keep looking. There will be a piece of kibble there.
If there are two pieces of kibble there and you only give her one and walk away; it’s not over till it’s over. She knows.
Like rush-hour in the air. Gulls and skimmers. Ducks on the water.
Just skimmers.
At the federal level it hasn’t been a core school requirement since 2010. Less than half the states require it in school at all. It seems irrelevant in these times of laptops, smart phones, and tablets. Who needs to write by hand anymore?
That brings a question to my mind. Every legal document we sign has those two lines: Print your name here. Your signature here. If a kid doesn’t know how to write in cursive, as an adult how are they going to sign a document? Are the print line and signature line going to look exactly the same?
