The Cyberchase Post

These pictures are from my favorite show, Cyberchase. It's about four members of the Cybersquad: three kids and a bird. Jackie is the one in yellow; Matt is the one with the backpack; and Inez is the one with the glasses. Inez doesn't like being called "Nezzie." The birdie is Digit.

They try to save Motherboard, the leader, from Hacker, a bad guy. Hacker wants to get rid of Motherboard and the Cybersquad always figures a way out of chaos. Hacker is mean; I do not like him at all. Once Hacker had a magical crown he stole from the King of Radopolis; Radopolis is a Cybersite. He lost all the Radopolis people's wheels on their skateboards and scooters and other things like that. But don't worry, the Cybersquad always figures a way out.

On the PBS kids website, you can play Cyberchase games. My mom will put the link in:

The Creek Adventure

Today I went to the creek. I got to throw dead corn stalks in the creek. I got to cross part of the creek on a log. I got my socks wet and my toes were freezing. Mom's were, too.

We wanted to go across a different part of the creek, but we couldn't. I thought and thought and thought. I used my skills from Cyberchase, a PBS show. These are the steps, I said:

• 1. What is the problem we have to solve?
• 2. What is one way we could do it without getting wet even if we don't have the materials?"
• I thought, "Hey, what if we make a bridge out of stepping stones?"

And Mom said, "Sure." But we only got halfway across.

My mom said, "Come here." I got the giggles when she tried to put me on her back because I kept slipping back down onto the rock in the middle of the stream. Then I rode across the creek on my mom's back and the water was up to her calves.

We saw a big grassy field on the other side; it was amazing. And then we went back.

Richmond News

I was in Richmond today and when I was at Starbuck's having my Frappaccino (even though I'm a little girl!) I heard people talking about trouble at Kroger. That's where my mom and I were going to go: to Kroger and Lowe's, but no one was allowed in that area. All I know is that it was on the news that there were police there and I saw a big gun - the kind of gun that's big and long and kind of skinny.

(Explanation from Mom: a disturbed person is currently in the Kroger parking lot with a firearm; the police secured the area although the man wasn't threatening to hurt anyone else. Traffic has been diverted and officers have been trying to talk the man into surrendering for over two hours. Carlyn felt that it was important to update her readers about this story. I was delayed this afternoon writing a letter for work; otherwise we would've been going to the Kroger Starbuck's to get our Frappaccino - possibly around the time the police locked it down).

p.s. from Carlyn: I wasn't that happy about what happened at Kroger.

My Google Analytics

Google Analytics is fun for me. Google Analytics tells me where the people who visit my blog are from. If a state is light green, it means at least one person from that state has visited. As you can see, Kentucky is dark green. That's because it has lots of visits.

I have visitors from New Zealand, Japan, and France.

I have nine states plus Washington, D.C. Maybe the President had time and he Googled "the Carlyn blog" to see if there was someone named Carlyn who owned the Carlynblog and, if there was someone, maybe they blogged about him. I hope he saw the post where I said I wanted to kiss him! I would kiss his 747 also!

I would like some new states.
