.....probably a kayaking class. Not everybody lives in Hawaii! He leaned back too late..........

I had to take a canoeing class when I first worked for the EPA because I was doing river sampling. The early classes were in a very large pool because it was still so cold. That's where we learned to raise sunk canoes from the bottom, and other tasks. Then we did it it a lake. Then we did it in a river. Probably the most fun class I've had in my life - and the most exhausting.

Ahhhh......now, it makes sense. I thought it was some kind of prank. Thanks, Lisa and...hi!! :)

Are you an environmental science person? That's my son's major. :)

Yes. It's my second career. I was an accountant for just a few years and went back to school because I was bored out of my skull. Tell him for me that he has made a great choice - if he loves it. Also - since it's not an env. engineering degree, I would advise a dual degree with chemistry or at least a chemistry minor. That will help him get places if he doesn't want or doesn't have the env. engineering option.

That part is good to have and definitely a foot in the door where he's interning!

Yeah, his major is a little different and he has a ton of opportunities. He's been interning at the big M since June and they just signed him up for this summer. He actually is kinda specializing in chemical security threats.

Ooooooooo...... that wasn't around so much when I was starting out. How things have changed! It used to be all about accidental spill/release containment. Now we have to worry about all the crazies out there, too! :laugh:

But that's fun, Di!!!!!!!!!!! I get it! Think of the water supplies........... same thing.

I'll bet there's some game out there that involves this stuff!

If not, someone should get rich developing it! He also helps prepare for severe weather threats like hurricanes. He's been busy. :ohmy:
