    Bert, the little foot tapping you do when you get on a plane, my husband used to do that when he was especially pleased with himself. Always knew when he was up to something. Thanks for provoking a heart felt smile.

Plus, Denali has even bigger wildfire. Much prayers to you SOMERS. I really hope you stay safe during the wildfire smoke situation.🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷

    Calgary, AB, Canada here - smoke can be horrible here from fires in British Columbia and Alberta fires. So thick going outside is a very risky for asthmatics. Last summer a little boy with asthma in BC died from smoke blowing into their area. Think when a forest fire reaches residences and burns them = chemical smoke. Very very dangerous for anyone with compromised lungs. ❤❤❤ to all of them.
    VFD Bert - variable frequency drive.
    Planes have a glide ratio so they can glide a bit. If you still have two wings and no engine the plane can glide a little ways. And the pilots seem quite seasoned up there.
    ❤ To y'all. Stay safe. You are all protected.

Your values align with what we want for our kids and think it would be an awesome opportunity. We also have a lot of homeschool communities now in TN so I don’t even question their socialization ❤ I am so excited for these next steps, you guys are a huge inspiration for me and gave me the confidence to do this for my family

    • @emmib1388
      @emmib1388 Před dnem +1

      No need to 'worry' or 'be concerned' about social skills. This is a stereotype from those not familiar with home schooling. IMO, most home school children have more social skills than then public school counterparts. Why? Because while the children are in public school, they only contact those in their own grade (that is, if they can look up from their phone) While the Homeschooled children interact with others of all ages through co-ops, volunteering and when they get old enough, part time jobs as well as community groups and church groups (when applicable)

      @jus.me.tanzks5834 Před 23 hodinami

      I was taught with that curriculum in a private church school and it was pretty easy to understand. Usually once the girls in the religion reach 17 years old they are invited to teach at different schools across the us kids without college degrees teaching the young ones 😂

    Don’t really get fires here in the U.K. in the summer unless someone deliberately starts one , the one thing i have noticed with the U.K. summers is when we do get heat they seem to be hotter than ever , and it’s gets very humid and sticky here which isn’t pleasant and personally I hate , I can’t wait for the autumn, falll to arrive .

    I flew out of Yellowknife and Hay River with "Buffalo Joe". This guy had many many flights under his belt and I knew that he had experienced everything possible that could happen. I was never worried about flying with him (and his plane was over 50 years old). Give me experienced bush pilots every time. Hope they get the fires under control.

    I can remember fires every summer, soon as the temp hit 70 degress here came the fires snd smoke. Depending on the wind if the smoke comes into town or not. One year there were over 1000 fires burning in the state. I have breathing issues so it was very difficult with the thick smoke to breath. What I found really helped was wintergreen life saver candy, helps open the air way. I look for the biggest bag I can find and they come individually wraped so keep them in my purse and car. 😊 This too will pass and be lost in time. Blessings ❤
