Learning

You know learning can be fun.  Yes it does include work but the payoff has a lifetime of benefits.  There is so much to learn anywhere you go.  When visiting Houston, Texas, the Museum of Nature History is the place to go.  Here I saw this giant geode.
 A geode  is formed in solid rock where where there is an opening or cracks in the rock.  Over time saturated solutions of dissolved minerals seep into the spaces in the rocks and formed crystals.  Then due to weathering of rocks by wind, water, and ice the rock above the geode is eroded away.  Finally after a long period of time the geode is found on the surface of the ground.  More later.
