With the wildfires recently, the cub learned that sometimes the air is too stinky to go out. Around the same time, we went to a park across the river from some big oil refineries, and he saw the tall smokestacks feeding white plumes and flickers of fire into the sky.

Now he is convinced that factories make all clouds, and whenever it's overcast it's because the smokestacks are running.

Not quite sure that's how it works, kiddo.  :P

Should it be "translation", "conversion" or "transformation"? This speaker is hung up on semantics.

They cut down a big tree at the end of my street bit by bit using a crane to take the big pieces away so they would not his the nearby houses

I went to Prep School with Basil Flowers.  I used to copy French off him.  I think he joined the Clergy.
Ever got that feeling that you're trying to teach a dog a card trick?

We went from 400-something cases per day to 600-something cases per day. We skipped the 500's altogether!
It's always fun seeing what tally the next day brings.

Took a drive up to NH White Mountains on the highway.  It just reinforced my amazement at the stuff people leave lying by the side of the road, shoes, hats, towels, clothes, etc.  If I took a van and traveled all over the highways around the state and in nearby Maine........I could open a thrift store with all the stuff I see.   :o

Now we've skipped the 700's and jumped straight up to 800 cases per day.
