Lots of rain and then flooding
We have had a lot of rain over the past couple of days. This morning we had a heavy downpour and you can see the water running into the ravine beside our house.
The next picture shows the water running out of the ravine, into the field beside our house, and then into the ditch along the road.
The next two pictures show Mill Creek on the opposite side of our road. This past Friday night around 11:00 pm, the creek was actually about 4 feet higher and it took out one of the driveway bridges just down the road from us.
The last two pictures from this morning are from the Landot parking lot looking east along Ohio State Route 550.

Strange text message
I and two other family members received the following text message a little while ago:
From: 5001@vtext.com (First National Alert Call 8568741255 For Details)
I figure it is from a spammer but did not find anything obvious from a Google search. However, I did find that the phone number is listed as the Fax number for CPI Capital in Voorhees, New Jersey.
"vtext.com" is a text messaging service provided by Verizon Wireless.
Missed cell phone call from 23987
I had a missed cell phone call at 11:12 am today from 23987. No idea who it was from. I am assuming it was a telemarketer of some sort. I tried to Google the number but did not find anything obvious.

1000 digits of pi
The mathematical constant pi is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter.
Pi is an irrational number and its decimal representation never ends and never repeats.
The first 1000 digits of pi are as follows:

Jump Rope basics
Physical Education Lesson Plan
S: PE
T: Jump rope
O: K: To practice basic jump rope skills
1st: To develop cardiovascular fitness while jumping rope for fun
P: Teacher demonstration and explanation
Jump Rope
Proper jumping technique:
a. head erect
b. shoulders back
c. elbows close to side
d. wrist turns the rope (not arms)
e. knees slightly bent
f. land lightly on balls of feet
g. jump 2-3 inches off the floor
1. Stationary Rope
Use one long rope per three students. Lay the rope straight on the floor. Three students stand at each rope, evenly spaced facing in the same direction towards one end of the rope.
Practice the following jumps:
a. double bounce (bounce twice, then over)
b. single bounce (bounce once, then over)
c. hop, single count (hop once, then over)
d. straddle (straddle over the rope, then feet together next to rope)
e. skier (two feet together, jumping right and left over rope)
f. bell (two feet together, jumping forward and backwards over rope)
g. rocker (with one foot on each side, rock/jump back and forth on each foot)
h. X (two feet together, jump landing with feet crossing each other)
i. twister (two feet together, jump landing with feet/hips turned sideways, jump back over landing with feet/hips turned sideways the other way)
j. hopscotch (jump on one foot, landing on two, jump on two feet landing on one)
k. front to back (two feet together, jumping and landing 180 degrees around)
l. heel clicks (two feet together, jump, click heels together, land on other side)
2. Blue Bells
Two students swing rope as high as knees on both sides. Practice above skills again now with blue bells.
3. Full Turn
Practice above skills using individual jump ropes.

Physical Education Lesson Plan
S: Physical Education
T: Jump rope
O: 2nd grade: To practice and improve jump rope skills
3rd grade: To develop cardiovascular fitness through fun jump rope games
4th grade: To provide practice opportunities for basic individual jump rope skills
5th grade: To motivate and challenge students with jump rope activities
P: Teacher explanation and demonstration
Jump Rope
Each student will have his/her own jump rope. Jump rope task cards will be on display around the gym. Each student will be given a jump rope challenge card to mark off tricks as they complete them.
Jump rope tasks taught will be: forward jump, forward right foot, forward left foot, backward jump, backward right foot, backward left foot, moving forward jump, moving sideways jump right, moving sideways jump left, moving backward jump, jog in place, hot peppers, consecutive jumps, double bounce, single bounce, straddle, skier, hop, rocker, “X”, backward, bell, wounded duck, sideward, side swing, twister, criss-cross arms, hopscotch, heel to heel, front to back, heel toe, heel clicks, double under and 360 degree turn.
Students will choose partners and try a variety of different task with a partner. Some of those will be: side by side, face to face, face to back, back to back, 360 degree and jumper, moving train, two ropes turned by partners.
Students will have a chance to do long rope tricks while two other students and/or the teacher will turn the long rope. Some of these will be: front entries, backdoor entries, turnaround, touch ground, jumping jacks, two people jump, school, bounce a basketball, use a hula hoop.
