What came first, the chicken or the egg?

That rhetorical question has no answer and therefore is meaningless. but wrt early reading skills I believe they are a good thing if you contribute to an early start for your children.

 Early reading to infants.

I began reading at four years of age, and as far as I can tell, I did it without any help from others.

That made me a fast reader, and althought I don't know, I believe that has been good for me.

How to make comments at this blog

I have for a long time been wondering why not a single soul has bothered to make even the shortest comment her. But when I took a look at the problem I found that you need a login identity befor you can post a comment. Google, Wordpress, Yahoo and a lot of othersd are available so if you already have for instance a google (gmail), or any of the other acceptable accounts, you can use that one as is.

I have been thinking of creating a google account with an public, open password so that comments would be open for everybody but I don't find that such a good idea since the same account could be used for login at so many other places, and anybody might change the password and make the account useless for everyone else.

I got an alert today. Those guys should indeed be watched. Hopefully, the way the climate changes are becoming more obvious these dsy it can't be long before both the HIV/AIDS and climate denialists will have to surrender to the realities.

2014 was the warmest year ever in recorded history in Norway and January 2015 is hot here in the south, mostly + temp every day.
