Little Becca and the Science Experiment

Back in 2002, Little Becca participated in a science fair. 

She calculated the Ph level of a bunch of household items using red cabbage.

It was kind of like making potions.

Little Becca is now big Becca, but she is still making potions.

See her potions here.

The Trouble With Tribbles

OK, who remembers the classic Star Trek episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles"? Well apparently this is a real thing because there was a Tribble living in our vacuum cleaner. This is what happens when you live with a bunch of long haired girls. I couldn't figure out why the vacuum wasn't doing its job. Mr. Dyson made me a solemn promise that my vacuum would never lose suction. I don't think his fancy algorithms were any match for the long haired shedding people in my house though. 

Tribbles were first shown in an episode of the second season of the original series, "The Trouble With Tribbles" (1967). They have appeared in several subsequent series, as well as in a number of Star Trek feature films, and in video games such as Star Trek: Armada II.

A tribble

According to Star Trek canon, tribbles are native to the planet Iota Geminorum IV. They appear as small bundles of fur with no other visible features. Their coloring ranges from white and grey to black, as well as speckled brown, yellow and orange. According to Dr. Leonard McCoy's dialogue, their only two purposes in life appear to be to eat and to reproduce, and they perform both of these functions exceptionally well. McCoy concludes that tribbles use over 50% of their metabolism for reproduction and that they are born pregnant.

Disney Discounts

So, I'm always looking for Disney Discounts. Because I like Disney and I like Discounts. It's like chocolate and peanut butter.

I ran across this webpage. It lists the time of year when Disney announced discounts for their parks. I'm posting it here so that I don't forget it. You are welcome to use it too if you want. https://www.mousesavers.com/historical-information-on-walt-disney-world-resort-discounts/#codechart

Also, I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to my favorite vacation planner Mary Mast Travels. If you are interested in getting a free quote for a Disney or Universal Trip, please send her a note. https://www.facebook.com/MaryMastTravels/
