A Dad story
My parents were divorced just before I turned six.
As mentioned earlier, I was in boarding school at age eight.
Every weekend either my Mom or Dad would pick me up for
the weekend, but I remember so many girls were not that lucky.
the weekend, but I remember so many girls were not that lucky.
One cold weekend I was at my Dad's.
He was in the bathroom shaving and I was reading a book
on the table, standing too close to a portable floor heater ...
when you stand close it feels so good, then it gets really hot?
My dress caught on fire. I yelled for my Dad.
He looked in and yelled "don't move, don't move, Jack."
(My Dad had wanted a boy, and only called me Jack, ever)
I did as he said, and in my memory he flew to me.
And, with his hands, he patted out the fire.
Seventy-six years ago, but so clear in my memory.
He explained later that if I had run, the fire would've got to me.

I changed my dress and we went for breakfast.
All in a day for a Dad hero.
This is the size of the sequoia compared to a human.
What we see here is the largest living creature on Earth and the largest giant in it.. the giant sequoia tree.
Sequoia is considered the largest living creature in the world and the longest-lived trees, as some of them exceed 88 meters in height, and some of them are estimated to be more than nine meters in diameter.
This video shows the true scale of giant sequoias — the largest living trees on Earth, towering far beyond human size
