    I doubt we'd want to consume WD-40, but antioxidants from food are good -- preventing cancer, I hear.

    Trit, I like the colored carrots, especially the purple ones. I wonder if the difference in color makes the nutrition differ. Do you know? I tutored today. The older boy is still away visiting his aunt. The girl read some boring (her word for it) definitions of words she's unlikely to know...

    Bill & I had our outing yesterday. Rave, did you get to the drive-in movie? We headed for Syracuse, but we made a couple of stops along the way, and it took a bit longer than calculated, so we were just outside Syracuse at the time the movie started. We had planned to see the movie first, then...

    That is so funny and weird! Is Sabbath short for Black Sabbath?

    Better him than me! Were there any safety features in case he lost his grip? There must have been.

    That looks like an adventure film, too, not the traditional IMAX documentary. I guess that's the latest thing, if Bill can be believed.

    What was it, and where did you see it?

    Speaking of IMAX, how many of you have seen a film in this format? It's really compelling. The first one I saw was To Fly, which makes you really feel as if you are in the plane. I remember a scene of going over green-clad mountains and hoping we didn't hit them, we came so close! That was at...

    Yes, memories! I think I've seen one every once in a while, driving somewhere way out in the country. I guess they keep a few going for the retro chic. Sunday, Bill & I plan to see an IMAX adventure movie. He saw on a TV somewhere that it's the latest thing. This one looks like it'll suit Bill...

    There are really cute. I think my favorite is the dark one. Your posts remind me of a time when I was a kid, and it was around Easter. I don't remember what kind of store it was now, but in the store window were a bunch of eggs hatching into chicks, and I watched while they came out of their...

    Hi, Rave. I'm so glad you're back. Your photos are wonderful, as usual. I especially loved the one of the lake.

    I hadn't heard of this, so I Googled it. Hitch-Hiking Robot Who Relied On Strangers' Kindness Was 'Damaged Beyond Repair' In Philadelphia What a shame that people have to be so senselessly destructive!

    I have good news. For a while, the older boy I tutor has had an attitude. I've spoken to him about it, sometimes sharply, sometimes asking him what we should do to make it better. When I ask, I get a sulky answer, "I don't know." I've racked my brains to figure out what's going wrong. I think...

    Ducky, I'm sorry you lost the chick. Awsum, I'm glad to hear Bo is recovering. We get power outages a lot here, though never a pop like you heard. We don't have a generator, so we just wait and the power comes on in an hour or less, most times.

    Thanks, Terry. I'll be looking forward to hearing from her.

    I'm glad he's home. I think he missed you, too. I think he will heal faster where he feels safe and comfortable. Still sending vibes.

    That's good answer. Meanwhile, the boy is on a safer topic. After reading about volcanoes, now he wants to know about earthquakes. I lived through the 1980s Loma Prieta quake just outside of San Francisco (in Pacifica), while Bill was driving in SF, and told him about his and my experiences...

    I have an interesting problem. I tutored today, and the girl read about how mammals, including humans, give milk to feed their babies. She can hardly believe it's so. She and her siblings were bottle-fed. She had never heard of such a thing. I told her I breast-fed my daughter, and we discussed...

    I wonder how Rave is doing. We haven't heard from her in a while, and while I know sometimes she wants to be private, it still worries me a little. Terry, have you heard from her? Is she OK?
