Get ready to rise and shine this weekend to watch a meteor shower. The Orionid Meteor Shower comes around each fall as the Earth passes through debris from Halley’s Comet.
Breaking away from school and work, we went to Virginia Beach and Kitty Hawk to celebrate Fall Break for Cole. How often cold we drive to the beach for fall break in college? Never. So this time, we did.
The waves splashed chilly water on our feet, but the sun shone and the bikes were great! We rented bikes for two hours and rode basically the whole two hours. I really think I need a bike. We rode up and down the boardwalk and along the streets parallell to the beach. SO FUN! . . .
How did you do? Well, we are about to find out. These were some tricky ones that you couldn't just Google and find the answer right away.
Cole sneaked out ahead of Maggie and Michele on this one, and I even tricked Maggie this time around on SpongeBob trivia. Pretty sure she knows more general knowledge on the topic than even myself.
1. When did the first episode air?
b. May 1, 1999
2. What's the name of the next episode that airs? . . .
Going to the DMV involves paperwork, long lines, confusing questions, disgruntled employees and drivers, and faked smiles which lead to horrible, possibly convicted felon, looking license images. Luckily, we have it easy compared to the Chinese.
The cities in China are teeming with eager driver's and the cars they own. Unfortunately, the infrastructure fails to meet their needs. The number of car's in China has doubled since 2007. At the end of 2011, China had more than 225 million cars on the road, according to traffic department stats. Holy Chinese car boom. For comparison, the United States had just more than 250 million in 2010. While we have near similar amount of cars, we have had time to slowly expand. Since 1994, we have had at least 200 million cars zooming around on our roads. . . .
One of my favorite SpongeBob SquarePants tunes should help get you ready for this week's trivia. Maggie helped me out with the topic this week, so she might have an edge.
