At the local park district pool where the kids take lessons, I do appreciate that, despite the staff being a bunch of teenagers, they do maintain an almost military like attention to lifeguarding discipline while they’re on duty.

I'm not sure why, but the trees in our yard have the majority of the squirrel nests in the area. As it's winter, you can see there's almost none in the trees surrounding around house, but we have about like 7-8 of them. We don't put out food or have gardens for them to plunder, so I don't how we have so many.

February 22, 2025: Tic Tac Toe
My 9th grade algebra tutoring adventure continues! The jalapeno started on factoring trinomials, which I definitely did not recall in any way, shape, or form. But I found a nice video that includes a tic tac toe method for solving that almost seems like magic.
