A neighbor that I have known ~45 years had a fascinating geology job just as he retired,
a prof. He’s about 80 now The University of Utah had built a new Natural History museum 2008-11. His task was to classify all of the rock collections. Not only those on display at the old museum but those in storage as well. We still see each and say hello when out walking.

We took a little longer than planned, but we finally made it. These kids really missed us, hehe 😊
We taught Primary 4 and some Primary 5 pupils about environmental protection, why it matters, and how to care for our environment.
Then we headed outside for practical learning! The pupils learned how to prepare planting holes, mix manure with soil, and plant trees correctly. We guided them whenever they made mistakes.
Learning today, protecting tomorrow!!

Also, I can't believe that uptalking is still a thing. It's mostly women who do it, and I'm sorry, but it makes them sound like idiots. (Did you ever see the Valley Girl movie?) I sure wish they would listen to themselves and try to fix the problem. This woman uptalked almost every single sentence. It drives me insane.
