A: Joe is in "The Nation's Summer Capital" - Rehobeth.More than a million years ago an ancient human ancestor walked across a sandy plain in eastern Africa, leaving footprints that scientists are now hailing as the earliest evidence of modern upright walking.
The footprints, dated to between 1.51 million and 1.53 million years ago, were discovered at Ileret, Kenya, researchers report in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
With a large toe parallel to the other toes, the prints indicate a modern upright stride, the researchers said. They are likely to have been made by the early hominid Homo ergaster or early Homo erectus. ...

There is an expression that says: "a grandparent is a parent who has a second chance." Indeed, many grandparents feel less stress than when they were a working parent and now have more time and energy to spend with a grandchild.
As a grandparent, your special relationship with a grandchild provides a unique opportunity for you to be a positive role model. You do not replace the parents, but you can reinforce their message when it comes to teaching young people about lifelong healthy habits.
Wondering how to be a good role model in the lives of your grandchildren? Consider these points:
Get moving together. There is lots to do outside, including kicking a ball, walking, hiking, biking and throwing a Frisbee. You might plan a special outing such as bowling, swimming, or skating. If you haven't been very active, remember to start slowly and gradually increase activity levels. ...
The role of grandparent is a special one, not the least of which is helping a younger generation enjoy health for life!

Instead, generic symbols of liberty appeared on money, which by the 20th century Theodore Roosevelt pushed for the use of an image of Lincoln by a favorite artist. When the pennies appeared in 1909, they were so popular that some sold them for 25 cents. Today, despite their waning appeal, the Mint will update pennies with new backs showing 4 stages of Lincoln’s life:Early Childhood (KY) Formative Years (IN) Professional Life (IL) Beard Growing Days (DC)

How to make a Frisbee out of Pantyhose
Step 1 - Cut the legs of the pantyhose off of the feet & panty.
Step 2 - Put the legs portion onto your legs and roll down to form a tight disk.
Step 3 - You will have six tight coils when you are finished.
Step 4 - Cut 5 strips measuring 5" by 1/2" out of the feet or panty of the hose.
Step 5 - Tie the six disks together to form a ring (see image). You can decorate your frisbee with the permanent markers at this point.
Step 6 - Throw it just like a normal(?) plastic frisbee.
Things You’ll Need (if you can't find a normal plastic disc in your closet, car, briefcase, fridge, basement):
> 3 pair of pantyhose, stockings or tights.
> Permanent marker(s)
> Scissors
Tossing the Frisbee around is one of the great idyllic green pastimes - picturing people playing Frisbee almost instinctively conjures up a scene filled with parks, hippies, and picnic tables. But those days are long since passed—now Frisbees are happily and un-ironically tossed on college campuses, Ultimate Frisbee games are arranged, disc golf courses are popping up all over, and it's a perfectly respectable way to pass an afternoon at the beach or at a park.
But just because the hippies' era has passed doesn't mean we can forget about being earth-friendly when we play. So here are some quick tips to green that round of Frisbee:
1 - First, get a green disc—like one of these Frisbees that are made from recycled retail materials, or these Frisbees made with 60% post consumer recycled plastic.
For disc golf, check out the Reflyer, a disc specially made recycled material (also post consumer recycled plastic).
2 - Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during your game- not wasteful, disposable bottled water.
3 - Carpool to the park or better yet, bike or walk.
Enjoy the game - it's classic green.
