Hi, Awesome Observers!
Tonight, I'd like you do one (deceptively) simple thing: observe your world. Then post a question you have about it. The key word to remember is, "WHY?"!!
Post your interesting and essential question on the blog. The question doesn't need to be mind-blowing or on a cosmic (or quantum) scale. If it is, cool. And it's just as cool if it's a question from daily life about why something in the world behaves as it does. Put on your keen observer glasses and take a look at things. You'll be surprised with what you see.
See you tomorrow!☺
Mr. R
