Father's Day! Went to church and operated the screens again this week. One misspelling in the whole service, so I am doing well (Hoping for 0 next week). My dad got a card from the rest of us, as well as a set of 4 of those cool Samuel Adam's beer glasses that keep fizzing because of the laser etching on the bottom. We had an amazing early dinner with steak and glazed carrots. After that, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's place and chatted with them for a while. My Grandpa explained to me how to start and drive a Model-T Ford. It was very enlightening (Apparently there were 3 petals[low-gear, reverse, brake], 2 faders[throttle and something called spark], a valve[for opening and closing the gas tank] and a lever[high-gear]). It is fascinating to think about all of the technology that has occurred in my grandparent's lifetime. (They didn't have electricity growing up!) It is amazing what the integrated circuit and transistor has done for us! I can't even imagine how the technology will improve in my lifetime or that the gap will be as large as it is for them. After leaving their house, we came back home, and ate cake. I didn't take any pictures the whole day, and randomly took a picture of this porcelain cat that my mom recently removed from storage in the basement:
As a parting thing, you should watch this video by Hank Green (other half of the vlogbrothers).
Also, Happy Summer Solstice!
Later,
