Follow up to Work Post and 80 in April
My last night at work turned out to be very nice. I heard that the sick baby I sent up on Friday was improving, though he was still sick. Also had the opportunity to observe the parents of the hold baby and their interactions with her. I was very glad to observe that they were very loving and responsive and also to know that their drug screens were all negative. ***

Yesterday got up to 80! degrees! It was awesome, we took Z to park n rec in the AM and then came home and J did all her school outside. I did remind her that public school kids didn't often get to do their schoolwork at a picnic table with bare feet and listening to the birds sing. She agreed.
After we picked up the Zooter we came home and met up with my dad and went to North Mississippi Regional Park. We saw the Great Blue Heron rookery and some adults on the nests with binoculars but didn't see any of those crazy pterodactyls flying.
Came home and kids rode bikes and played in our yard with the neighbor kids. Then after supper the neighbor lady and I went shopping at Old Navy. I got 2 new pairs of shorts and 2 T-shirts, got J a dress and 3 T-shirts, Z shorts and socks and K a little surf shirt and matching trunks. TOO CUTE!!!!!!!! OMG I am gonna go put it on him now for absolutely no good reason.
Ooohh saw an awesome link on another blog to this editorial from Scientific American Here's an excerpt:
In retrospect, this magazine's coverage of so-called evolution has been hideously one-sided. For decades, we published articles in every issue that endorsed the ideas of Charles Darwin and his cronies. True, the theory of common descent through natural selection has been called the unifying concept for all of biology and one of the greatest scientific ideas of all time, but that was no excuse to be fanatics about it. Where were the answering articles presenting the powerful case for scientific creationism? Why were we so unwilling to suggest that dinosaurs lived 6,000 years ago or that a cataclysmic flood carved the Grand Canyon? Blame the scientists. They dazzled us with their fancy fossils, their radiocarbon dating and their tens of thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles. As editors, we had no business being persuaded by mountains of evidence.
Love it.
