I don't think it is difficult to accept that fundamentals should be taught. We spend years learning basic arithmetic like the addition of integers. You could very well argue that there is no need for that either because everyone has a

You know what they say: ship a village 1000 bicycles and they ride for a day. Teach a village to make bicycles and they ride for the rest of their lives. The counterargument is, of course, "but what's in it for me?"

The black-legged tick season in Ottawa is March through June and again September through November. Summer (deerfly season) is just too hot for them and they go to ground. We do all the best camping in January and February. Why, you might as

A site to report tick bytes. Is there a similar site to report mosquito bites? They also carry many debilitation or fatal diseases. I live in prime tick country. During peak season (March through June and again September through November) I

It depends. We have a few sewing machines that are finicky. Tension goes off rapidly, binds a lot, lint buildup constantly has to be cleaned, clunks mysteriously sometimes. We also have a Singer manufactured in 1899 that just does what it&#

My experience is it takes 100 hours to buck, split, haul, and stack the 7 or so cords of wood it takes to heat my house. A cord is 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet. The total time includes time it takes to sharpen the saw, and time it takes for t
