I have been learning some interesting things lately.  Did you know (probably everybody did, but me, since we seem to be the last people in the U.S. to get a cell phone) that they make these itty-bitty, teeny-tiny memory cards to go in your cell phone?  These cards are so small that they have to “nest” inside larger cards in order to be inserted into a regular computer to transfer the files.  Amazing!  (And to think that, just a few decades ago, a computer took up a whole room!)

Something else I should’ve known, but never made the connection before: Hawaii was not a state yet when Pearl Harbor was bombed.  I mean, I knew that Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941.  And I knew that Hawaii became a state in, what, 1958?  Maybe 1959?  But I never made the connection before that, that means the Pearl Harbor attack was before Hawaii’s statehood. Interesting.

Other, not-so-interesting things I’m learning involve the differences between country living and city living.  Like what city-dwellers do with their dog poop.  (See, I told you it wasn’t very interesting.)
