Current Events In the Fifth Grade

The Never-Ending Project: Completed!

Picking the Bones At An Estate Sale

Heartbreaking Photos From the Congo
You simply must see these images. It’s a pictorial of “life” in the “Democratic” Republic of Congo. As in many African countries, long-running civil wars between enemy tribes take an almost unbelievable human toll. The photos in this pictorial show … Continue reading
Reminders of Chloe
Chloe’s been gone for three days now and I keep getting hit by reminders of her. I keep walking into various rooms of the house, expecting her to be there and then realizing that she can’t be. I look out … Continue reading

Bloody Hell, the Snail Died
I was wrong about Pokey the snail. He died today. I ran ammonia and Ph tests on the tank water and was shocked by the results. The ammonia test was off the charts. The Ph was also out of whack. … Continue reading
Another Day, Another Fish Funeral
As I mentioned two days ago, we had a goldfish die, buried him at sea, and then bought another fish and a snail to keep the remaining fish company. As Tuesday wore on, the new fish, Speedy, wasn’t looking so … Continue reading
Fish Funeral
For Christmas, my sister-in-law gave my son two goldfish. Without asking us. Needless to say I was not happy about this, but he had them before we knew what was going on. Anyway, he’s been very happy with the fish … Continue reading
