I had planned to get back yesterday to say that school did NOT close. Aaron & Ben had to go to school and they were not happy.
There is still some more winter left for them to keep hoping for snow days. They are both anxious to get this week finished as they will then be finished for the year. After two boring weeks off they will be ready to go back in January.
Tracey had to work late last night so I watched the movie Dark Knight. Ben & Aaron watched it with me although they had already seen it at the theater.
I kept guessing out loud about what I thought was going to happen but I have to give them credit they didnt say a word one way or the other.

12/16/08 Optical Illusion «The Legel Report»
If your brain works normally this is neat. This is another example of an amazing illusion! If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

Seen it before but it is astonishing, everytime. Just bizarre that things can disappear before your eyes.
