Mischief in Overdrive

Mr. Mischief

In the last week or so, my son has stepped up his mischief level by quite a bit. He seems to be testing his mom and me at every moment. He will go from one "no no" thing to the next and frequently looks me right in the eye as he does it. It is all very funny to him, and trying to get it through to him that he is being naughty is not easy! I raise my voice and look him in the eye--and then he smiles and goes to the next thing he has been told not to do 100 times before. I guess this is part of his development and becoming so mobile. We have to watch him constantly or he is climbing furniture, pulling at electrical cords or reaching for the stove knobs. His language skills are increasing as rapidly as the mischief; and when he is removed from something he shouldn't be into, he will shake his head and say, "No no. Uh uh!"

I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
