Cancer Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 "Over there!" he said, pointing to the little island in the middle of the lava lake. EDIT: feh. The image is the one at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA00320 The lake is pretty big, actually. But you can find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where are the Pluto haters? Pluto is not a planet. Pluto can never be a planet--if Pluto is a planet, everything is a planet. All else is folly.

Pariah Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Okay, I did NOT foresee this turn of events. PS: There are 8 planets and at least 5 dwarf planets in our solar system. 6 if you count Farout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 For the first time in my 10 years in this district, school has been canceled due to inclement weather. Naturally I was already on the bus on the way to school when the notification came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Exam ended a bit less than an hour back. I have the impression the students were demoralized at the end. EDIT: As much they might say otherwise, students do not like "which one of two, or same" type questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I missed two days of school (my birthday and my brother's birthday, as it turned out) my freshman year in high school due to a blizzard. It was legit; we had no electricity at our house for nearly a week. Our situation was worse than most. Some people in town were only without power for two or three days. Did I mention that my birthday is in the middle of May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Three pages graded, one to go. That last will have to wait until after the dentist appointment, because it will take whiskey and I have to drive myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
