     Getting sick!   Yes, it is that time of year! People start getting cold and flu!

I will also wash my hands a lot to kill germs and avoid spreading them. How did I learn all this? From a great site online! There are many more secrets I found there and you can read them  right  here!

Prices have increased constatly since 2021!  Prices do change all the time, but its so slow we do not usully notice it. This change is actually very shocking. The post office is raising rates for the first time since 1994! That is 30 years without a change!

 Sunday September 22nd  was  the first day of Fall! The Autumnal Equinox took place at 9:43 p.m.! Please research IN ENGLISH some scientific fact about fall. For example: the time of the sunset, or the position of Earth in space, the amount of sunlight etc. Then search for a fun fall time activity IN ENGLISH. For example: seeing color leaves, pumpkin carving, etc.   Post your information and write in 50 words or more, what you have found Thanks!! My Example: Today I learned about Autumnal Equinox. It is one of 2 days every year that the Earth is completely straight and balanced in space. On this day, as well as the first day of Spring, called the Vernal Equinox, Everywhere on Earth has the same amount of sunlight! I learned about it here  on this site! This fall I will go see Autumn leaves at Mt. Takao and eat sweet potatoes when I can. If you want to know more about where you can go, visit  this site here!
