It’s Summer road trip geography trivia time. I’ll go first.
Minnesota calls itself “the land of 10,000 lakes.” But it has nearly 12,000. Also, it ranks third for total number of lakes. Second-ranked Wisconsin has roughly 15,000.

In first place: Alaska with over 3 million.

I like to think of this as “My friend is being faithful. Since she rightly orders her love, I am NOT first place.”

Do unto others - are you always able to text back right away? No. Of course not. Never assume the worst about your own friends, or you may soon find yourself to be friendless.

I think about this a lot.

Most of my kids have learned to read with a toddler…sometimes a toddler and a preschooler…doing high energy reps on all sides of them.

Our homeschool isn’t just producing readers, but people who can function and be productive in HIGH STRESS SITUATIONS.

(For the record, I did not receive such an education. 😉😜😅)

if a toddler puts a sticker on you, that’s a sign of great respect in their culture

@bethanyshondark Yes! Let's do this.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

In 1999, a wildlife reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was offered a herd of elephants that no one wanted.

They had repeatedly escaped enclosures and had developed a reputation as troublemakers. If another home could not be found, they were likely to be killed.

Lawrence Anthony, who ran the Thula Thula reserve, had never planned to keep elephants. Common sense told him to say no. He said yes anyway.

What followed took months. The elephants repeatedly tested the fences, and Anthony repeatedly brought them back. He spent long hours near their enclosure, talking to them and learning to read their behavior. The key was Nana, the matriarch. If he could earn her trust, the herd would follow. Slowly, she accepted his presence, and the escapes stopped.

Anthony spent the next 13 years with those elephants. The herd grew. He wrote a book about the experience and, somewhat to his embarrassment, became known as the Elephant Whisperer.

He died of a heart attack on March 2, 2012.

According to his family and staff at Thula Thula, something remarkable happened a few days later. Two groups of elephants that had not visited the main house in many months began moving toward it through the Zululand bush. By some accounts, they traveled roughly twelve miles.

The first group arrived one day, the second the next. Together, they stood near the house for about two days before turning and walking back into the bush.

Nobody had attempted to summon them. Exactly why they came remains unknown.

Elephants are known to mourn their own dead. They have been observed lingering around fallen herd members, investigating bones, and returning to places associated with lost companions. What they do not often do is gather outside a human's home.

Whether the elephants understood that Lawrence Anthony was gone, no one can say. But according to those who witnessed it, they came, they stayed, and then they quietly returned to the wild.

Agreed.

Two approaches to homeschool:

1. “My kid does homeschool 2 hours per day and is on par with the average public school kid.”

2. “My kid does homeschool 8 hours per day and is 10x smarter than the average public school kid.”

Nothing against the OP here, both approaches work.

@eurocompel Fake, unscientific, incoherent, plus it excludes pro-choice people from humanity

[Peter Bringe @BringePeter]

This is disappointing. I don’t think such a committee is a good idea to begin with, but then shrinking it to 5 (instead of 9), with such an imbalance… (It would be more balanced if 1, 2, or 4 stepped down and 6 was able to join.)
