Meteor showers and shooting stars...

What's the difference between Meteors and shooting stars? Nothing! They're the same thing!

Oh, yeah, we watched shooting stars late Wednesday night.

Uh-huh. But why do people call meteors shooting stars?

Maybe because they look like stars shooting through the sky.

What do you think?

Camping trips....and horse farms?

Hehe....On Tuesday me, my dad, and Jacob and Zachary went camping! So were does the horse farm come in? My dad's crazy ideas.....

So were does the idea come out? In the pool, of all places. Not while by the campfire, or even during the long half an hour it takes to get there. In the pool. We were talking about 4H, however that came up, and the matter of horse farms came up. He asked how they "grew horses". Then he came up with the crazy idea that they planted manure. But I told him they didn't, but he didn't listen. So now he carries the crazy idea that they plant manure....But I think that he knows how they do it really. As in horses give birth to foals, they might sell them or keep them, and so on......

Nuts man.....

What Really Happened that night....

Imagine this night, the next day, the day the revolution began. Imagine it all.

Paul Revere rode through the night toward Lexington and Concord. He needed to be careful; regulars (Redcoats) were on the roads that night. The eighteenth of April. After an encounter with the redcoats, he galloped into Lexington. Then he went to the house where John Hancock an Samuel Adams. He warned them. There was another rider also, William Dawes. He galloped in soon after Paul Revere's going inside the house to warn the Patriot leaders.

Two riders. Fas-in-at-ing, right? See, that poem isn't historically accurate!

This will actually be a series of posts, really. So the first post is done. There will be more soone, though.

Why are schools neglecting history?

What is she talking about, You think, schools neglecting history?

Well it's true, or at least in my opinion.

Why? I was just at one of my mothers friends houses, and one of her relatives walks in. The girl is in(Or just got out of) High school. I'm in fifth going into sixth.

So I asked her when the Revolutionary war started. She had no idea.(!)

What the heck???????

Are schools neglecting teaching kids that tidbit of history? The day when our country began?

Yikes! Do schools at least teach that poem anymore? The first verse of it goes like this:

Listen my children and you shall hear

of the midnight ride of Paul revere

on the eightienth of April seventy-five

Hardly a man is still alive who remembers that famous day and year.

That does have tons of Historical errors, but it tells the date.
