  1. When you were talking about your cat watching the crickets, I thought about our cat Gohan. When my grand lizards went home, Racket had not eaten all of his crickets. When I went to clean the cage, there were about 10 critters running around and the cat jumped into the cage and cleaned them up. I guess it's protein for him.

  2. Face it, there is no substitute for a teacher in front of the classroom directing the learning activities. Many students are not able to focus and stay on task unless there is a live person there to coordinate. Young people today are so easily distracted. Plus, there goes the social aspect of education.

  3. Eventually we won't need Cargill because of this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3275913/Lab-grown-burgers-menu-2020-Scientists-set-company-make-stem-cell-meat-affordable-reality.html
