Squashed, a re-creation, Hazelton PA, October 24, 2011
An inauspicious start?
Let's hope not. Let's hope I don't get squashed again.
I'm off
Departing Red Rock before being pushed out by the chills of November has been a goal since I started this fulltiming adventure back in 2007. I finally did it - only a week later than I had hoped.
Can anyone predict what mischief an un-chapperoned acorn squash left on the counter might get into while one blissfully motors down the highway?
Betcha can.

Observational Learning
[Learning by watching] is called observational learning. When it comes to evolutionary fears, as well as to many other areas of learning, animals and people learn by watching what other animals or people do, not by doing something themselves and learning from the consequences. I have the impression this lesson hasn't quite been absorbed by most educators. You read that hands-on learning is best, but that may not always be so. Obviously evolution has selected for strong observational learning in animals and in humans.
