Madeline and I have been experimenting with electricity for her 4th grade science fair project. We found that a potato (we live in Idaho now, after all) conducts only 4 volts of electricity from a 115 volt input, with 20 ohms of resistance. We're testing various materials as resistors and a potato was just one of them.
Saturday was spent at the Thanksgiving Invitational swim meet in Boise. Jessica and Emily both had great meets, improving three personal best times and winning four heats (two each) between them. This is Jessica on the starting block for the 50 freestyle, one of the two heats she won.
On Saturday evening we went to the College of Idaho basketball game. When the drill team came out for the half time show, Madeline noticed their skin tight, midriff baring outfits and let out an almost involuntary "oh....dear...". Joanne and I couldn't help but laugh. The College of Idaho won the game, so all was well that ended well.
