Still time to join the Granny Life community math/art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com !
My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound
Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.
