January 22, 2016.  Quiz Winners!!!   The final picture above shows how uncomfortable it was today on the Gulf.  The temperature was in the low 40s and the wind was blowing at 25-30 mph.  The wind chill was in the mid 20s.  Annie had to hold her hat on her head.  The only time we were outside Harvey was when we walked the recycling to the collection center.  Brrrrrrr.  Why are we here? 

The grandchildren have submitted their responses to the quiz.  Here they are:

10. You finally found an Alabama Gator!  (Although its just the John Deere kind)

In summary, the Thurmonds are the winners with a perfect score.  They even picked up the funny about "finally" finding an Alabama Gator.  I didn't think anyone would get the manhole cover, but they did.  They win the first place prize of $25.

 

The Cobbles and Tourtillotts tied for second place with scores of 7 correct answers.  Each family will receive $15.  I was tempted to give extra credit for Levi's answer to the moon photo.  I had to Google "gibbous" because I didn't know what it was.  For others who don't know what it is, it is the moon "having the observable illuminated part greater than a semicircle and less than a circle".  Smart boy. 

Now, wasn't that fun?  Congratulations to all.
