@tisaiahcho ... downloading this for later.

@PrudyRay I'm sure they'd love to know what he thinks of them...

Update for those who have been following/supporting Mrs. Irvin's 3rd-5th grade gifted class in Calera, AL and their adventures in parasitology/ecology: thanks to your generous support, 80 students went to Aldridge Gardens for environmental education lessons. Thank you!!

🎵When you’re down and low, lower than the floor/ And you think that you ain’t got a chance/ Hop 3 times like a kangaroo/ side step twice just like the crabs do/ 3 steps forward 1 step back/ and that’s the Paper Accepted Dance.🎵

Have to tie up all loose ends before Everything becomes Nothing at last...

Anyway, that's over now, and hopefully soon so am I. Now go away.
