I spent a great deal of time trying to negotiate a lift on the tariff
for mined Moon cheese. However it seems that the government won't
budge so we'll have to keep dealing with these high prices for it.
Hands
On Learning
Little
Barry teetered between the age of a baby and a toddler. His father,
an architect, bought him more building blocks than any other toy. So
many building blocks they filled half the child's room. The architect
felt his son must
learn the craft of building.
And
so, with the blocks scattered in front of him little Barry built.
After making some errors and learning how the ins-and-outs of
stacking, he mastered the craft. A chip of the old block created a
gargantuan city of block structures that formed enough towers to make
a city and a large tower in the center that dominated it all.
Then
with a simple accident he knocked over one of his structures. This
felt different than an error in learning how to build. The tower
tumbling down created an epic spectacle for Barry. A crash loud and
wondrous. Soon he emulated and knocked every tower in his city to the
floor, savoring every block's rattle, shake, bash, and rumble.
His
father succeeded in teaching little Barry to create...but also to
destroy.
