What constitutes a passing knowledge of electricity?  If I was in Japan, where 30% is a passing grade, I know what I need to.  If it’s as it is in America, where I believe 60% is still passing, then I think I might pass as well.  One might say the fact that I’m alive is sufficient proof that I have my basics down.  Then there’s always that 5 on the AP Electricity and Magnetism test I took seven years ago.  How do we measure how well we’ve taught our kids?  I’ll let you judge weather my teachers did their job or not (always remembering that I was mainly my own teacher when I homeschooled, then again, I never touched the subject of electricity on my own).

 

WARNING:  If you think I am smart and all that, please read-on.  If you think I am an incompetent blond who dies her hair brown and has a musician space brain, spare yourself the confirmation and go look at my pretty pictures of Basel and listen to my nice harp music.

Here are a few quick pictures from my new place of living.  I think I beat the time it took me to post house pictures of Japan by about six or eight months . . .  Please reward me with comments!

 The kitchen is immediately to the left.

Now that I have internet and power I am tired and have too much to write!  In an effort to boost my energy level I'll start with a few pictures of Basel.

Rathouse im Marktplaz (The Town Hall on the Market Square, I hope I got that German right) 

 A Fountain and a Church (with fuzzy beliefs) I happened upon.
