The Iditarod

In English class we are talking about the Iditarod, and we just finished watching a film about the Iditarod from 2008. Lance Mackey won first place through lots of difficulty, competing with his fierce competitor Jeff King, who got second. My favorite musher is DeeDee Jonrowe, she has had breast cancer since 2002, but the reason I like her is because she is proving that you can come back from something like cancer and complete one of the hardest races on Earth! Our class will even get to communicate with one of the mushers from this years race! I'm excited and ready to see who wins the Iditarod this year!

Red Tide

Red tide is when the water becomes red when algae becomes so numerous that they discolor water. Usually it turn the water a reddish brown color. Lots of countries are affected such as Ireland, Italy, etc. Lobster tomalley are not safe to eat after being exposed to red tide which builds up high levels of toxins and other pollutants. Other animals that are dangerous to eat after red tide are whelks and moon snails. I think that red tide is weird because water is supposed to be blue and it turns red, but it is also dangerous because it releases toxins into the air that causes mild respiratory irritation. Also after a red tide outbreak fish start to die and end up on the beach which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. If you step on these dead fish it can cause a painful injury or an infection, all because of red tide.

Picture Upload Practice

If I could go on vacation here I would be outside all day. I would go and swim in the ocean, and play in the sand. I would build the biggest sandcastle you have ever seen! After I got tired of that I would go and lay on one of those beach chairs and suntan. After the day was over I would go back to the resort (which I hope my family would let us stay at!). The next day I would convince my parents to let us try that thing where you are attached to this thing and are being pulled in the air by a boat, it looks really fun! That is what I would do if I could go on vactaion here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
