the Haps

Well it is hummingbird star wars time again. We have 4 feeders this year. Made 8 cups of sugar water on Sunday and it is pretty much gone today. Rescued 3 hummingbirds out of the garage yesterday. Usually I can get them to land on the bristles of a broom and then carry them out. I think they get attracted to the red pull that is the emergency release for our garage doors. Anyway they are zooming around like crazy. Can't even count how many we have this year at one time. Reading the World is Flat right now. I am still in the preface or forward but I am really enjoying the book and it is suprisingly easy reading. Should be required reading for every educator I think. Unless we change our education standards we are going to be left behind in the economic world (the book is about economics at least so far, not education, but the kinds of jobs most folks are able to do are being easily outsourced... Americans need to hold onto the critical thinking and analysis type jobs.... as well as customer service/people facing jobs)
