We learned that wadis are streams that are running only during rainy season. In 100 Gateway Cities we learned about Almaty (sounds a little like Almighty) It means “father of apples”, the Almighty is the father of apples. It has 28% Christian.
We learned about ear dust.
We only did together stuff today. We learned about DNA it has four chemicals which are in base pairs.

The team was the third added to the NBA. The Sheboygan Red Skins were a poor team team even before they joined. The players were underdeveloped. The stadium was small and cramped. One time a coach was kicked out and he had to sit on the step outside, it was too crowded for him to watch the game.
When the team went to New York to play the Knicks the Knicks’s manager realized he was playing a poor team from nowhere and announced if the Red Skins weren’t out of the league next year he would be. You can guess who stayed around.
Now the only things left of the team are one old player and the stadium which will be demolished next year.

Today Idid not get much school done because we had to go to the chiropractor. I read my book for the entire week. We read three weird Russian folk tales about horses of power and frost kings. They were folk tales not poems like Vella said.
We learned about micro machines in Case for a Creator. We also finished it. In 100 Hundred Gateway Cities we learned about Bishkek. It means “a stick used to whip mare’s milk”.
Vella forgot several times today what airport meant.

People think Las Vegas is the City of Lights, but it is the City of to many Gambling Machines. (Not really.) Ashgabat has population of 892,000. After an earthquake hit it the city only had 12 buildings standing.
The lens in your eye bulges out to protect your pupil.
We learned about Baku. It is in Azerbaijan. It means “violent winds”.

The one city used to supply over half of the world’s oil. Hitler tried to invade it but failed.
We read weird poem about acorns.
