Thanks. In my retirement years I sometimes go to the local middle school and substitute teach. The kids are a lot of fun and the subjects are usually so easy I can teach anything. But I often take a few minutes in a science class to tell a story. Once a year I tell about the ancient and honorable art of digging up outhouse pits. The kids are horrified, but I remind them that they are scientists when they are in the science rooms and that they have to look at things differently. I am fairly popular with the kids and have many more offers to sub than I care to tackle.
