Tremendous perspective on just how far "out there" the Artemis astronauts will be as they circle the Moon.
Earth and Moon are not as near to one another as it feels from where we observe it everyday.
These radios are unbelievably good for $5 each! I loved playing with these things outside as kids.
Durable, simple, screen-free units from a brand well known by hobbyists for quality, low cost radios.
Great reception up to a mile around our wooded neighborhood. Instead of a phone or smart watch, give these to kids to keep in touch with home base..
Give everybody a call sign and learn how to say "10-4" or "Hey Lumberjack, ya got a copy!?"
Way more fun!!
The 2-pack is under $10 on Amazon but the 6-pack comes with a sweet charging station and belt clips.

Found a fun handheld puzzle game for the kids and grownups!
Has a small digital screen that guides your puzzle choice -- really scratches the itch for the little screen addicts. Planning to try more of their products. https://t.co/8Nso7Tbnpt
Not an ad... just sharing a great product!
@WISN12News This is a misleading and even inaccurate misrepresentation of the situation for our district. Busing has been a problem for awhile and the district is executing on the plan. Note we reduced pay to ride from 2 miles to 1 mile, and no more mid-route bus swaps 🥳 Thank you, HLSD!
Here is the statement I gave at last night's Hartland-Lakeside School Board Meeting. Full live recording linked below. I was very encouraged to hear about progress on topics related to nutrition, bus programs, and tech education. Thank you for having me!

Hi, my name is Kristopher Evans, but my friends call me Kpher.
I am a candidate for the HLSD School Board seat up for election on April 7th, and I wanted to briefly introduce myself.
I've been a Hartland community member since 2018, and I have three kids in school here at HLSD… 4K, first grade, and third grade.
I've never run for any office before. I'm a dad, I'm involved in this community, and I started asking questions about our schools… and I just kept going. So here I am to provide you an idea of me as a school board member.
My focus would be simple: kids have to be safe first. That's non-negotiable. Right behind that: they have to be healthy. Because if we're sending them to school and something in that building is working against their mind or their body, that's a problem worth asking questions about.
Are our lunch menus keeping up with the improved nutrition recommendations?
Are we treating recess as a reward, or as the biological need we all know it is?
Is our tech education evolving with technology, driving curiosity while reinforcing -- not working against -- boundaries at home?
And after health it's all the facilities and operations and people that make it all possible.
We've made big strides at improving our busing, beating state requirements, and I'm excited to see us eliminating the mid route swap this upcoming school year that our 4K kids navigate today.
Can we make busing more accessible? Are we getting a good deal from Dousman Transport?
All of this has to live inside a balanced budget. Your budget is your priorities, and mine are straightforward:
1. Safety,
2. Health, and
3. The operations that make everything else possible.
Get those right, and THEN we can teach.
I hope that gives you a little insight about me as a board member.
I'd be honored to earn your vote on April 7th.

I’m at Beer Snobs on March 12th from 6 to 8 PM. Just a chance for us to talk schools and me to answer your questions directly. Hope to see you there. #kpher4hlsd

Per an ESPN source, Curt Cignetti has agreed to a new deal at Indiana that pushes his annual salary up to $13.2 million. The deal will go through 2033. Hoosiers have been the ultimate aggressors in keeping Cignetti.
Today is the 40th anniversary of the Challenger disaster.
As we prepare for our Artemis missions to and around the Moon, it's important that we honor members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery.
"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
We tend to only think about the first part of that statement; the latter feels essential and obvious yet incredibly insightful.
No hidden meaning or agenda!

Under President Trump’s leadership, common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability have been restored to federal food and health policy.
For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans.
That ends today.
The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.
