Gun class
My father, who’s a hunter and fisherman, lectured the kids on gun safety today and then showed them several types of rifles and pistols while discussing the history of each one.
We later had the opportunity to fire his 22 at various targets such as milk jugs and plastic ducks. The kids really enjoyed the experience, and I admit so did I. We are hoping to practice shooting again tomorrow to improve our skills. There are a few more days of vacation before we get back into academics so I’m trying to maximize our exposure to new things.
Devastation, global warming, the election
Sitting here late at night watching CNN and seeing the devastation that the east coast suffered, particularly our home state of Jersey and neighboring NY. Our power was restored this morning. I had friends from the south asking me how things were up here, and I didn’t know because I hadn’t seen anything on tv. Seeing it now is humbling. I kept teaching through the powerless hours, but I’m thinking we need to completely stop academics for now and find out where we can help. More to follow on that..
Well, election day is approaching. Hope you get out there and cast your vote!
