ACT8: My Didgeridoo

When offered me the opportunity to help make one with him I was thrilled because being a musician myself I love these kind of things.


The didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu or didge) is a wind…

The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

public servants
