Can you hear me now?

Just a quick blog...

This morning, I was trying to explain the ear to my daughter and the little tiny bones there... so I went to the web to find a picture, and found this site for animated models of the body parts and functions.

Also, in order to view it, I installed Shockwave 10.1 - and they have another site that allows you to download free games...

I also showed her a picture of the huge pileated woodpecker that was just destroying a large dead limb that hung over the pool in the troutstream I was fishing in the other night - I stopped fishing for 15 minutes to watch and listen! to this magnificent bird - it was probably not more than 25 feet from my eyes, and either is used to us wacko fishermen standing in the stream, understanding us as no threat to their search for bugs, or just didn't notice me (I get that alot) - anyways, point being, I used an Audubon identification book for that one... but could have used the web to get sound and other non-book info for my daughter - who was more interested in our trip to pick cherries today than my Woody Woodpecker experience...
