skimming todays notes and weather... hippo birdie ( janine's b'day and  sisterfrannie) and weather??? looking forward to feb 13th when it says it will snow and the temp will be 44 degrees-- talk about  climate change....... boy would that be a changer in physics.

i wish there was more practical  science taught to young kids.... not the book learning kind.. but actual hands on...  of course my favorite is transitioning from a straw to a siphon hose to make water run and do things..like turn a wheel??? automatically fill the cats water dish????  something ... anything.... to get learning out of the books aan into real living. i can hear it now.... what?? kids?... siphon hose? and water ?  would be a big mess.... yup...learning can be messy...but water. is becoming another  currency in wealth management. ( along with time being a true currency.....)

i remember..... among the dumbest things i ever said-- of which there are many..... "why would pepsi buy that  property.. all it has is a spring in the back...and no one is going to spend money on gas to ship water around..." 

other spring things i know......  along topsfield road  in ipswich. there is a very reliable spring  which freely flows into the ipswich river.. then atlantic ocean..... i am told  a couple hundred years ago it was the source of drinking water   when wells around ipswich went dry. 

i know there is a piece of property in lynn where lovely water runs  into the drains , and  then atlantic ocean,,,, or at least it did10 years ago..

10 years later... what percent of maine's spring water flows thru someone's  personal internal plumbing  before  hitting the coastline? i know i have seen poland springs bottles on the  tables of the governmental meetings.. and i wonder if all that is trucked to washington... what do those trucks move back to maine???  i bet trash.... and it is only time before the trash and spring water meet. 

what else do i think i know??? i know alot of trash moves up route 95 in the direction of maine -- i see the trucks constantly ---and here's a fact that i know i put in the dd months ago... after years......maine has started refusing some trash .. most specifically the man who removes  recently deceased horses was complaining that his usual composting  was now closed to equines because of plastic sorting.

at least horses are a natural ingredient....  

*** a friend in  new york verified what i read... that there were hundreds of trucks crossing the hudson  going to fill the old coal mines of penna with nyc trash.

**** my father in the 1940's sold many tractors so nyc could fill the  swamps of new jersey with nyc  trash..... how different  was that ????

******

which has nothing to do with the underground fire which i think is still burning  underground in penna. 

googling centralia  fire is interesting on 2 scores--- most notably is the exclamation mark at the top dated may 2022 saying " proper verification of the following details needs more attention"

-ok the article needing verification.  says a fire was started in may of 1962 which got out of hand and is still burning and is expected to burn for another 250 years....

not sure what needs verification... snow melts on the surface of centralia...

now just think of all the  information  on the internet which should have that warning.
