Quite the talent! However, I can't help but hope that he deeply disinfected that barricade. Think of all the hands that may have touched it and all the birds that may have poo'd on it.
That's so sweet of Mr. Chu! I was doing good reading the article until I came to this: "In the cold Vermont air, it took several hours for the fryer to get up to temperature.

That is how I read most books. I'll read the end of the book first, then enjoy reading how the story reached its conclusion. Sometimes, there are twists & turns in a book and I'm wondering did I understand the end correctly ;^ }.
We had giant strides at our school. It was my favorite. Especially when the taller, older kids were there. I would be flying! The playground on that end of the school property was on a grassy knoll. I don't remember anyone getting seriously hurt from the giant strides. Though, I did crack my tailbone on the teeter-totter. The covered playground at the other end had monkey and climbing bars with concrete floor! There was also a swing outside of the covered play area that I bare a scar on my knee from. I spent my elementary and junior high years (1975-84) there. Elementary, junior high, and high schools were all in one building and we averaged about 14 to 17 students per year in our class.
