| SOURCE: ART PROJECTS FOR KIDS A fantastic site for art projects you can do with kids as a parent or grandparent. Step-by-step instructions. Or, as a teacher: pick an art project the kids work on while you read something to them. My Grade 5 Teacher, Mr. Quigg, did that when I lived and went to school in Germany. We didn't fidget, distract each other we were rapt by the narrative of The Hobbit while we were gobsmacked by our own creations. I was often chosen to read to the class, my articulation developed early. A budding leader in the making. I'm not sure that is what Mr. Quigg saw. It was probably just obvious: the kids would listen better if it was from one of their own. |
When I look back 40 years.
Since I graduated from High School in 1979.
Thrust into the 80s without any choice.
Those graduating with pending career jobs, had them revoked at the 11th hour.
Ronald Regan was in the American White House and Pierre Trudeau Canada's Premiere.
One of the most untold business stories that I still recall, was when the airline aviation navigators went on strike or threatened a strike, I don't remember. (Will need to fact-check)
It was power or might.
The government trying to bust up a powerful union and force them to go back to work.
A lesson of how stubborn man|woman can be when defending their position. We just act differently.
Flash forward to 2020.
20/20 yes.
It is clear.
The state of the world can be communicated by the state of the airline industry.
That is just my opinion.
Looking back to the early 1980s, there were hijacks and embassy ambushes, health uncertainty because of AIDS, a recession with negative growth.
Then there were the Cinderella stories.
Certainly Apple and MicroSoft top the list. So does Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player to ever lace skates on.
A lot of airlines went under in the 1980s.
Economy carriers started to emerge. The BIG airlines were flailing.
Look at now: with Boeing's scarred reputation and dismal ratings.
2020 and the next decade about to become, will continue to be marked through aviation. Of the galactic kind.

Elon Musk is on his way to being the Howard Hughes of our era.
Latest story posted: on Bloomberg
He is defining the era.
He is a maverick.
He faces the impossible every day.
He doesn't sway his passion from public opinion.
