Day 6

Saturday is not normally a work day for GH#3, Zack, but he had special clients coming in and he said we would only be an hour and asked if I wanted to go, I did. In came a mature couple dressed in red and black Ferrari sports attire and Zack discussed car stuff with them, and then they waited for their car to be washed. Zack introduced me as grandma, and they said I had a great grandson. I agreed. Then Zack told them their car would be ready soon, so we left and as we got in his truck, the most beautiful red convertible Ferrari pulled up! They matched their car! We met GH#1,Joran and Raquel at ...

 

When I was here on an earlier trip we tried to go here, but the crowd waiting was out to the sidewalk, and we went on. Today we ordered ...

Your mission if you choose to accept it, determine who ordered what? One was a "to share" extra. 

Zack, Grandma, Raquel, Jordan

As you might guess, we left as happy campers.

Ah, family!

For seven years, officials in the Czech Republic planned a wetland restoration project that was expected to cost around $1.2 million.

Then the beavers arrived. Before construction could even begin, a family of beavers built a series of dams in almost the exact locations engineers had planned.

Without blueprints, machinery, or construction crews, the animals naturally slowed the flow of water, restored the wetlands, and created the conditions the project was designed to achieve.

The result was so effective that the planned restoration work was no longer needed, saving authorities an estimated $1.2 million.

Beavers are often called nature’s engineers for a reason. Their dams create wetlands 

that improve water quality, reduce flooding, store water during dry periods, and provide habitat for countless birds, fish, amphibians, and other wildlife.

In this case, they accomplished in a matter of months what had taken years of planning.Sometimes the best engineer is not an engineer at all. Sometimes nature already knows exactly what to build.
