It truly was a pleasure - and fun! - to do some outreach today via being invited to have a table at a middle school career day...The area of town and being near a military base means there was a wonderful variety of students...
I took 'surplus' (!!) maps and the students who were inclined chose a map they liked and a spot on that map - and together we cut out that place into a circle and used a button maker to make them a pinnable map...
There was some time - if the student was open to the idea - of talking about the maps and spatial data behind them as we made the button - be it a coastal Oregon topo map button, an Indonesian geology map button, a US/Mexico demographics map button, a San Fran earthquake map button, and many more...

I have to be constantly reminded that I am a naif blonde.(*)

I thrill with every little achievement of others, I tend to trust people from the beginning, I'm slow to perceive naughtiness.(**)

So, I have trouble to understand envy, and envious people. And also hate, misanthropic people. Do you know hate is a stronger feeling, i.e., causes stronger attachments than love?

(*) Perhaps you've read some of Marylin Monroe's biographies? Have you ever wondered why she would kill herself exactly when she was getting on her feet again after a campaign of slander by Fox studios?

(**) You probably will not believe, but it took me more than a month (I cannot precise) to perceive that this :alice_party: was a sausage. 😅
