correctly, he'll take them to the amusement park. If no one guesses, he'll
have them clean up the yard. Tom, the oldest, decided to try first. The
blindfold came off and he looked at the hats on his brother and sister, but
admitted he didn't know the color hat he was wearing. Joey said he'd go next.
His blindfold was removed and he could not figure out the color of his hat he
was wearing. Stacy then said she knew the color of the hat on her head
without needing her blindfold taken off. Did the kids have to clean the yard or
did they get to go to the amusement park? What color hat did Stacy have on?

the heat
Laptops are ergonomically awful - the screen and keyboard aren't in the right
places to keep yourself healthy - you have to lean over to work with it, and
then there is the problem of heat - which can and does cause other health
problems. One wonderful invention is the LapGenie - it is an adjustable desk
to set your laptop into the best position it can be. It folds up for easy travel,
and has many other uses. Check it out. It's made a huge difference to me and
a lot of people.
