- Nation of strangers??? On my cul-de-sac over 15 countries & languages are represented. We support one another & chat lawns & cats & kids & life. The strangers in this nation are created by politicians too craven to offer a better narrative about work, migration & community in this beautiful country.
- Thank you to everyone for your suggestions! I'm going with a) here's an old picture of a nearby place; find the place today and take a picture and note the changes b) here's an old photo of a scene (school, shop, airport), create a tableau of then and now and c) tell me a story about John O'Neal.
- Historians, HELP! I have to run a fun, engaging, totally not boring or embarrassing history activity for some Woodcraft 10-13 yos all too soon. IDEAS PLEASE? Kid the Elder (who will be attending) tells me that the 'not embarrassing' part is super important to him.
