Subj : Millikan's was: Wegman's To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Oct 27 2019 09:30:00 Hi Nancy! BM>>> Possibly. At this point depends more on the need -- science project BM>>> with Autumn? (That'll be several years.) NB>>> Gives you a little time to get around to looking for it..... ;) BM>> But First I need to clean the Electronics Workbench area so there's BM>> room to build a project -- whichever gets decided upon: doesn't have to BM>> be an electronics one. She's too young to be assigned a science fair BM>> project. NB>> Give her just a couple years...... ;) BM> Right. At this point she's very interested in animals - not just cats BM> and dogs but birds, butterflies, insects.... More the veterinarian BM> side of things than the common house pet side. We'll see how that BM> progresses; encourage but not push. NB> Could be interesting... :) As you say, one doesn't want to NB> push, but there are certainly ways to encourage... :) Right: encouraging (IMO) is a much better way -- explore and maybe find something you didn't know you liked. I even sort of encourage doing things the wrong way (up to a point!): I know from experience it's going to come out wrong but she doesn't, and for sometimes personal experience is the best teacher. Also sometimes can be used to emphasize I/we know so go by what we say. NB>>>> He's been back since... and while you were gone, did post quite the NB>>>> treatise on thunderstorms.... I saved it to a textfile for reference NB>>>> later, although it didn't exactly answer our wonderings... :) NB> (snip) BM>>> NB>>> As I did... BM>> And glad you did! NB>> And for once, saved to its own file, to make it easier to NB>> locate... also made it easier to forward back to you... ;) BM> And that's how I ran low on hard drive space over the years: this BM> looks interesting, this is worthwhile to have handy.... NB> Yup... a little file here, a slightly larger one there... sooner NB> or later, they all add up... :) And thus the need for multi-terabyte drives! NB>>>> As I said... it was quite the treatise.... BM>>> Yes, though simplified in a way average person could understand. NB>>> Pretty much... :) Even if it didn't really speak to what we were NB>>> wondering about.... BM>> Maybe Daryl is working on it! NB>> Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it..... ;) BM> And now Daryl has additional Arkansas Square Dancing duties.... NB> Mostly only himself to blame... ;) Not a bad thing to keep busy, NB> though.... :) I don't think I'd use 'blame'. :) Keeping busy is a good thing! And something enjoyable even better. BM>> ... We specialize in precision guesswork. NB>> I've seen some projects that looked to exemplify that method.... ;) BM> When were you here??!! NB> Never.... ....you mean that tag was from personal NB> experience...?? Umm, no? ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
