Sheesh
As I mentioned Friday, before pulling out of Leasburg Dam State Park that morning I checked the oil then closed the hood. It didn't latch. Couldn't get it to latch. The cross bar in the hood that the latch grabs went missing.
Well, not really. I took a good look at it this morning and couldn't see where a cross bar would have been attached. It turns out nothing is missing - the latch is meant to grab the rolled edge of the hole in the hood liner. All it needed was some oil on the mechanism. Sheesh indeed!

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.
