Not that I have the eyes for this work, but flying multi-million dollar jets in service to our country sounds like fun. I would also volunteer for whatever branch gets to test the new Iron Man suit I keep hearing about.
I'd pick the Air Force
January 21, 2010Sixth Grade Science Camp really chapped my hide
February 19, 2009The highlight of every sixth graders life at our elementary school in Fremont, CA was to go to Science Camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains in early Spring. Hikes, banana slugs, sleeping in bunk beds, s'mores and a trip to the beach. I seem to remember a few cannonballs into the pool near the cabins as well.
Pure bliss, until one night after hitting the showers after a particularly science and action filled day I went to get warm by one of the heaters in our cabin. These were old cabins with old technology to keep them warm. Smart as I was, I backed up to one of these ancient wall heaters with my towel in front of me and naked as a jaybird. What happened next was not elegant or graceful, but I accidentally branded my 11-year old butt on the grille of that heater! I hopped around the room, dropped my towel and generally wished I hadn't been so eager to get warm.
My cabin mates laughed at me but the most embarrassing part was that my counselor told my teacher. The (male) teacher of course inspected my rear-end and declared me fit for the rest of camp, however I had a grilled heiny as souvenir from camp.
I would have settled for a dream catcher.
Just testing a thing
