Shaka, rattle and roll

Earlier this month, it was reported that a couple of minor earthquakes hit Nevada, which should come as no surprise to many considering our proximity to the San Andreas Fault.

That’s good; no, that’s bad

Have you ever noticed how life can feel perfectly calm, and then suddenly everything hits at once? The calm before the storm is a real phenomenon in nature.

All must care for fellow men, women

Fireworks and fur coats. Any idea what is spent on these items?

Teachers’ influence is powerful
