i love turtles (:

Turtles are the most amazing creatures out there. They are so cute and cuddly, defiantly the ones that come out of the sea. They just crawl out of the sand hole and crawl toward the shore, #socute. The faster the cute little things run the more likely hood that they will survive! Once they get to the ocean they are all on their own. Because we, humans, do not really know how they are able to do this in the sand, we wanted to build something that would do the same thing. The Complex Rheology and Biomechanics research center decided to research the little things. Not only on sand but on other surfaces were the turtle able to keep the speed they had, so that was a clue that something else was going on. Did you know that turtle have wrists? Well they do! And that is how they are able to move so fast! But they did not want to start bringing the little things into labs so that is why they made the robot! FlipperBot was the name of the thing and it answered many questions about the turtle! Basically this will help conservationists learn how to help them! So cute!!

Gay soccer player comes out

Robbie Rogers who was playing soccer for the U.S. soccer team then switched to  England's Leeds United, had a huge secret on his chest. He came out after he was done playing on the US team that he was gay. He told everyone over an emotional blog. He is 25 years old. Rogers is one of the first known professional soccer players to come out and say that they are gay. Being that popular and keeping that secret inside is something huge and would be very hard. He said that he needs to choose between being himself or being a soccer player, and he isn't able to keep that in anymore. He almost makes it sound like he is not able to play soccer anymore, and that he wont be. Playing soccer would take him away from his big secret, it would make him happy. Many people are supporting him with his choice to come out and tell people about this.

The snow is great this spring!

This last week Wisconsin was hit with a massive storm. It started out with all rain, and when everyone was going to bed there was lighting, but when you woke up there was snow on the ground. In Appleton and places around there the power went out because the trees had ice on it and would hang onto the power lines. Also the power lines had a lot of ice on them. The weight brought them down. No one really expected it. The weird weather has been all over the untied states, there have been high winds almost in the 60s in California. Tornadoes all over the southern part of the US. Rain is everywhere, and there are dust storms in the west. There is going to be more snow coming very soon, but also possible rain. By Friday Door County should have an inch and a half.

Watched the news. Action 2news.

It's the end

Channel 2 news has reported another snow storm to hit the united states again next week, and because of this no spring sports will be able to be played. The snow storm is going to be up to two feet of snow! Pete Patoniac is saying that he doesn't think spring will ever come now. The storm is set to hit on April 1st, which was last Monday, so on pretty sure that makes this an April fools joke. The snow is almost gone!
