Martha: I missed “E”!! I love
your elephants!!
your elephants!!
Thank you so
much, Martha. Just like my dad, I love elephants. Elephants are interesting, complicated animals. They are very large, the largest mammal to live on land, weighing anywhere between 11,000 and 15,400 pounds or 4,989 to 6,985 kilograms. They have a great gift for listening and can use their ears and their feet to listen. They can be anywhere from ten to thirteen feet in height. They are very smart and very
social. They are also gentle and sensitive, and, when they are separated from their family group, they grow sad.
They make friends with elephants and humans alike. They have good memories. If you make friends with an elephant, your elephant friend will never forget you. I think that I would like to
have an elephant friend.

I am happy that
you liked seeing the Buffalo Harbor in its heyday! Grand Island is a large
island in the Niagara River, located between Buffalo, Niagara Falls, N.Y., and
Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Jen: I think a big reason people don’t
like history is it brings to mind boring high school and college classes with
dry, boring teachers/professors who only wanted to get through the material and
didn’t really care about making it interesting. That’s been my experience
anyway. Although, with my family history, I love hearing stories from the past,
whether part of “official” history or just family history.

I see two points
here. The first is the dull way in which history is often taught in high school
and college. Yes, that is a problem. So many people have lost interest in
history because they were not engaged in their history classes. There are two
reasons for that, in my opinion. The first is that history classes can get
bogged down in the memorization of dates, which is not fascinating. In addition, one of the main models for
teaching history is the “great man” theory. We are taught about kings and
queens and presidents. We don’t connect with those leaders at all. They are far
removed from us. And this is where the
second part of your comment comes in: your family history and the enjoyment of
it. You are hearing stories about people who are directly connected to you. It
gives you a sense of where you come from, and that is so fantastic. What if
history were taught that way: stories about the lives of ordinary people? People who may have had your type of job or who lived in your
community? How did they live? What was their medical care like? What were the schools like? Would getting a whole picture of life in different times of history and getting that feeling of connection make history feel more like STORY and
less like a bunch of disconnected facts?

Shilpa Garg: I
like when you say that there is a story in History and it should not be only
dull drab facts. Interesting to know about Tongue Oil and Fingy. Thanks for
sharing, Alice 🙂

You’re welcome,
Shilpa. Yes, I agree. Random facts and characters makes history far more
interesting. History is about people and, maybe, about odd stuff, such as Tongue Oil.

Cerebrations.biz: Somehow this simply
reminds me that Buffalo should stop reveling in its faded past and grab onto
its potentially fantastic future.

Alana: In a way, I agree with
Cerebrations – they used to teach children (like my son, when he was in school)
countless lessons about our area’s past, but very little encouraging them to
stay and give our area a future. At the same time, I love history – and I agree
it needs to be taught partially by true stories, and never by memorization of
dry facts.

Yes, I agree
with you and Cerebrations. Our area needs to celebrate its past and to look forward
to its future. I see continuity there. We can’t recreate the past but we can
make our future better by knowing what worked in the past and what didn’t. One
small example would be tree planting. In the past, the trend was to plant a
monoculture. That’s how we ended up with so many ash trees. Here in Grand
Island, anywhere from 35 to 60 percent of our trees are ash trees. And they are
infested with the emerald ash borer. The trees are dying. Monoculture doesn’t
work. We need to look forward to a future with a diverse collection of trees to
prevent that sort of disaster from happening again.

Bonnie: And oh, gosh, I was all excited for a second
thinking I have friends who are restoring one of those steamboats, but I was
misremembering, the Columbia was in Detroit sailing to Bob-Lo Island. She’s in
Buffalo now, though, you might enjoy her history too. sscolumbia.org

it’s a delight when you manage to find it.

to step back and enjoy the beauty of icy weather.. Thank you for sharing your

Alana: I remember the ice breakup we used
to have on the shallow Chenango River each spring when I first moved to the
Binghamton area in the mid 1980’s That was a sight to see and if I had only
known that it would be a rare sight one day, I would have taken a picture (with
film, of course). Remember the days when we couldn’t take hundreds and hundreds
of pictures unless you were a millionaire? Ice on trees is so pretty,
too-pretty and deadly.

Ice on trees is
an amazingly beautiful sight but… yes, scary. And, yes, I remember the days
when we used up a roll of film and that was it. That’s what I love about
digital. I can take so many pictures… and delete all of the bad ones… instead
of having the mistakes printed for me to look at forever.

ice chunks brought back memories from when we lived in upstate New York. It was
super cold but enjoyed the great photos that we were able to take.

Alana: I love those canned peanuts. If
you go into one of the stores, they have so many kinds, and you can sample them
(none of those stores around here, but I think there is one in Savannah, GA,
not that that helps us). I love peanut sauce on pasta and using peanut butter
in marinades, with soy sauce and garlic.

I am still so
happy with the peanuts! I like other nuts, too. Last week, I went shopping and
bought almost two cups’ worth of almonds. Yesterday, I made almond butter, and I’m
planning on making a pasta or rice dish with vegetables and almond butter.

sauce so that they could choose the spiciness of their food.

As was usual for plays and musicals I did with The Little Theater for Children.
Sounds like you had a neat day.
That sounds like
fun. I was always in the chorus, too. And that was fun. Scary, though, in the
operas. In one opera, I had to sing a high C while on my knees. That was… um…
unique. Fortunately, I was a chorus member because… um… I sound like a drunken
mouse when I sing that high, lol.

the best things is developing relationships with the farmers. Knowing where the
food comes from is definitely a benefit.

Wow! Comments and Conversations… This is such a fabulous idea, Alice, I am seeing of this kind for the first time. I loved reading everyone's comments and your responses on your AtoZ posts. Thanks for a very interesting read and a cool idea 🙂
Once again, I loved reading your comments & responses!! And I so agree with you about history. When I studied some of the same stories as a homeschool teacher, teaching it as a story & imagining what they might have thought & felt, and then, thinking of what impact the events might have had on who we are or how we think today turned what could be boring into something very interesting.
Oh wow, this is such a fabulous idea for a post. I loved every bit and loved that my comment was there too. Such, such unique post. Thank you for this 🙂
