Here are some random things I learned today.
1. Never refer to Earth as "The Earth". We don't say "The Mars". It is a proper noun.
2. Donkeys are kept in cow pastures to keep coyotes away.
3. A lady that is traveling with us was an Houston Oilers cheerleader back in the day.
4. Another lady was part of the first class of women accepted to Texas A&M.
5. And... another lady was the first woman to receive a sports scholarship to Texas A&M.
6. Finally, teachers LOVE to hear their own voice!
1. I would put a caveat on that - I use "Earth" when talking about the planet as a whole, but "the earth" when I am talking about the ground, or what is under our feet and below. Maybe the difference comes in the proper noun vs. regular noun. Like most people say "the store" or "WalMart", but only people from redneck towns in North Florida say "The WalMart". :)
ReplyDelete2. Why do donkeys keep coyotes away?
6. Yes, yes they do.
1. Ahh... the ground is soil not the earth. So I've been told. Or detritus or clay.
ReplyDelete2. Apparently they are mean.
