ReplyDeleteI agree, they are all great. The top ten finalists have already won a guaranteed $500; they are now competing for the $10K.
ReplyDelete$500 doesn't seem like a lot, but every little bit helps. Just ask my daughter, who is $100K in the hole, and is still applying for (and sometimes getting) tiny scholarships to help her through this last year.
My bank account is a constant reminder that I'm safe from identity theft. But more to the point, scrambled eggs mixed with cut up wieners for supper. Also pasteurized process american cheese. -shudder- 🤮

ReplyDeleteJennifer Mason’s article on Alice Roosevelt was interesting although it gives the impression her hijinks were attributed to her high spirit and lack of parental guidance. I think it rests squarely on wealth. It was well written except for “baited” breath. LoL
ReplyDeleteThat huge mural in Rio looks like they were using a grid of squares to guide them but didn’t show the grid put on over the base coat.
The Webb telescope helped contribute to the technology of designing / deploying space gear and give us better information about the universe and earth history. However, could the $10 Billion dollars have been better spent improving the future of the Earth (us) in ways we already know we can?
I find it helpful to think of dollars as seconds...
1 Million seconds = 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes.
1 Billion seconds = 32 years.
1 Trillion seconds = 31,688 years.
You need a go-fund-me for the girl.
