Lassen View sixth-grad- ers worked extra hard this year as they prepared for their 7th Annual Volcano Presentations. This year students pre- sented to their largest group, with 111 primary students, teachers and parents pres- ent for their presentations. Students spent time learning about cinder cone, composite and shield volca- noes. Groups were responsi- ble for building, labeling and demonstrating their particu- lar volcano. Each volcano was a model of a volcano somewhere on earth. Students were re- sponsible for sharing the history of their volcano along with information re- lating to California volca- noes. There were 39 present- ers from two sixth grade classes. Studentspresentvolcanoprojects My email spam blocking system informs me that I have received 128,747 email mes- sages of which 68.05 percent were spam. Why I would want to know those particular factoids eludes me. Yet there they reside, utilizing several of my al- ready overworked syn- apses. However, what my spam-catching system cannot tell me is how many of my 41,134 ap- proved messages were for- warded, usually commenc- ing, "I normally don't for- ward things like this but…" Upon opening said mis- sive, I am informed that Bill Gates will send me $5,000 if I pass this along; or am reminded of the navy ship telling the light- house to move; or — more likely — a friend is warn- ing me that if I don't for- ward this, I shall suffer se- vere tragedies. Point of in- terest: What kind of friend would send me something as horrific as that? Just wondering... And as long as I got me started, two notes about e- forwarding etiquette. One: If you absolutely insist on doing it, do not — repeat do not — include all the other comments from everyone and their brother. No one wants to scroll through 67 pages of " You gotta see this…" or " Send to everyone you know." Delete others' com- ments; send what matters — but only if necessary, please. Number Two: If you wish to respond, use re- ply, not reply all. Jeeze. They oughta take that but- ton away from people who don't know how to use it. The only thing worse than 67 pages of comments is 67 emails replying with, "Cool" or "Bitchen, thanks!" Oops, excuse the ti- rade; pet peeve; I got side- tracked. Now, where was I? Oh yes, once in a while, something great does cross my computer screen, and it's worth telling oth- ers about. The Rules for Being Human, by Cherie Carter-Scott, fits that bill, consisting of 10 brilliant lessons on how to manage your time on Planet Earth. They start simply: "You will receive one body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire time you're here." I mean, how much time do we spend glaring at our pro- file in any passing shiny surface, be- moaning the fact that we don't look like Anglina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston? Per- sonally, I don't waste a lot of time doing that, but I have unfavorably com- pared myself to Brad Pitt. It's not conceit to accept your strong points. Sure, work on our weaknesses. But shame is not attrac- tive so you might as well get rid of it. The Rules also remind us, "There are no mis- takes, only lessons. A les- son will be presented to you in various forms un- til you learn it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next les- son." How many times have I done the same thing over and over, fooling myself by the preface, "This time it will be different." Sorry, this time will be like the last 17 times, unless I ac- tually do something dif- ferent. "Don't you think you might try something else?," asks the Universe. "I don't want to," whines my cranky inner kid. Ultimately, I begrudg- ingly accept that the Uni- verse will not change its rules to accommodate my whims, fantasies or de- sires and proceed forward. Stomp fee. Kick loudly. Next lesson please. Altogether, there are 10 rules, covering all phases and aspects of existence. Each is simple. All are brilliant. And they end with, "You will forget all these." You'd think, after all these years in this body, I might understand how things work. You'd think that — but you'd be wrong. P.S.
