@MarkArum what I remember from living in Japan, some buildings there have no “4th’ floor -one of the words for 4 is a synonym for “die, dead, death”, so considered unlucky. Check that with Maya, maybe? Other cultures may have a number not used for high rise building floors.

Majestic aquamarine crystal captures the beauty of the ocean. What do you feel when you see this natural wonder?

@curiosityonx Is that Orion above?
On the bucket list… finish the climb to the top.

[iikoto @iikoto]

@Oort_Port It certainly has its moments!!

@Oort_Port Take that, Mets!
One of the best games ever! And to see Glavin, Smoltz and Chipper join Francoeur for the broadcast, with Maddox calling in, wow… so much fun!!!! ⚾️

Fourth grade was practicing drawing music symbols and I had them try and create a picture with them. This student’s talent amazed me! Even used symbols for a name! Crescendo/Decrescendo for ears, bass clef for eyebrows, quarter note nose….just awesome!

Second and Third grade doing music centers this week! Color by note, rhythm dice with instruments, rhythm kaboom game, and of course some book time!

Playing some rumble ball in fourth grade! @HendricksEsGA

Yes, it’s been warm. Yes, the snow is melting. But, if you think we’re even close to done melting the snowpack, think again. 3 more months of melting at least

@Oort_Port @Weather_West .@Oort_Port Thanks. I have not been following except for hearing from family traveling out west. Had heard about lots of snow this year. Very interesting. Will read up on it when I get time. Spring break next week might help. Thanks for the info!

[iikoto @iikoto]

@Oort_Port Love a good metaphor 😊

@Oort_Port .@Oort_Port went to Macon cherry blossom festival about 20 years ago or so. Bought a stick of a seedling for $5 and planted it in my mother’s backyard. Big now, needs some shaping, but still pretty every spring. If you ever get to Japan, try for Sakura time! So much fun!!🌸

[iikoto @iikoto]

@Oort_Port Absolutely!!!!

[iikoto @iikoto]

@Oort_Port .@Oort_Port bet you’ve seen some amazing skies of every kind from peaceful to raging! Most stars I ever saw was from about halfway up Mt Fuji at 4am. No way I could have found constellations, but remember lots of meteors shooting by. Didn’t finish the climb, must go back someday

[iikoto @iikoto]

Don’t know when I will retire, but I’ve heard it said that when that time comes, having a plan in place for things you want to do is a must. Bing photos this spectacular make it easy to build my “someday I’m going there!” list! Wow - literally ‘awe’some https://t.co/udqZ5H2oVB
