Pictures.

So these are some pictures of things that I've been doing, thinking, or looking at this week.

This my pet rock, Pudge. He's named after the former catcher (he only played six months) for the Houstan Astros. I loved that guy, he was such a great catcher and he had a cool name: Pudge Rodriguez!

 This is a book I have been reading, and had to wait on the longest waiting list ever at the library for, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, written by Rebecca Skloot. I really enjoyed this book, because I am into science and I had no idea that the main reason we have modern medicene is because of a poor African American woman's maligant cancer cells! This is a wonderfully told true story, and I think Mrs. Skloot does a fanstastic job of just giving you the facts of what happened, while at the same time giving you everyone else's opinion of the matter at hand.

I would recomend this book to anyone who loves science, likes interesting but sad true stories, and who has questions about how poorly people, particulary blacks were treated in the 1950's.

Read this book, LOVE it, and tell other people about it. It is a must summer for read for anyone going into 9th grade biology! :)
