  1. I have been building rockets with a friend's son since he was 4. Now 12 years old he won a purple ribbon (Grand Champion) at the #minnesota state fair for his slightly enlarged "Big Bertha". A friend and I made a parts set and he assembled and painted it. The original is an #estes rocket from the 60s, a little over a foot tall. His version is a bit over 8 ft. We will fly it next weekend.

  2. Darwin's expression, "the struggle for existence," is sometimes erroneously interpreted as the struggle between different species. In reality, the struggle Darwin was thinking of and which drives evolution forward is the competition between near relations. What causes a species to disappear or become transformed into a different species is the profitable "invention" that falls by chance to one or a few of its members in the everlasting gamble of hereditary change. The descendants of these lucky ones gradually outstrip all others until the particular species consists only of individuals who possess the new "invention."
    -- Konrad Lorenz (On Aggression)

  7. Really enjoyed TONY (Anthony Bourdain movie)! The 1975 setting was evocative for us.

    (Local connection, the dad (not shown here) was played by Rich Sommer, who attended Concordia College in Moorhead #Minnesota and also Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis.)

  12. @dbcurren.bsky.social And what would happen to #manufacturing in #Ohio and #Michigan (not to mention #Indiana , #Illinois , #Wisconsin and #Minnesota ) if #Canada 🇨🇦 were to close the ‘Strait of Our Moose’ (the #ElbowsUp nickname for the #WellandCanada that allows freighter navigation around #Niagara Falls) to #American ships?
