how much my meal cost

i looked around in the C-Town i worked in to find out how much each ingredient costs for "Bacalao". first, the salted cod fish costs $3.99 for a 1 lb package. the rice is $8.89 for a 20 lb bag and the onion that is put in it when sauteing the fish is $1.29 a lb. a set 2lb bag is either the same price or $.99. i guess it pays off to work in a supermarket sometimes. :-)

AMNH

here is another post about the AMNH. i kinda got some imformation wrong in the last post, so im here to fix that. from that one film on the melting glacier named Russell, which is located in Grennland, not South America, is still melting from global warming. that limestone that is located in the Florida Keys, is mainly made of coral bc it was under the ocean 125, 000 years ago.

i was in the exihibit of the African Mammals to find pathos, logos, and ethos. the Lion itself said a lot when it came to ethos. in that little showcase, there was one male lion and about 4 lionesses--that told me a lot bc im a heavy believer in the Zodiac and men born under Leo the Lion have a tendecy to attract the women...i know its silly. the Giant Eland is similar to an Antolope, and they live in similar areas. each showcase gave a good amount of information.

the AMNH trip

this is my little report on the trip we had on the 24th (my birthday). the American Museum of Natural History is a good place to go to when u're a tourist in New York (n i've seen a few of them asking for train directions---i know the NYC transit system too well to give wrong directions), or when u haven't been the a lot or not at all. my father took me there when i was a kid A WHOLE LOT and thats probably why i look so upset in that pic on Mary's blog.
but other than that, i got quite a few good notes to do this, but i may have to repost because i forgot my notes at home. this is what could remember off the top of my head:

THE GOTTESMAN HALL OF PLANET EARTH SHOWED ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT THE EARTH THAT MOST PPL DONT KNOW ABOUT. IT SHOWED THE EARTH'S EVER-CHANGING CRUST AND CORE AND ALSO SHOWED EVIDENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING. I VIEWED A SHORT FILM DISCUSSING HOW GLOBAL WARMING IS EFFECTING THE RUSSEL GLACIER AT THE TIP OF SOUTH AMERICA. ALMOST EVERY DAY ANOTHER PIECE OF IT FALLS OFF AND DROPS INTO THE WATER WHERE IT LATER MELTS CAUSING THE SEA LEVELS TO RISE--TO ALMOST WHERE THEY WERE THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.

i may repost about the trip again later.
