Onion Juice

Running down the street, the man held back a sob. He wasn’t prone to crying, but today was an exception.
His grandpa had just shot him in the face with an onion juice gun.  It was making his eyes water so much.  He felt like all the water in his body was leaving him. So he cried even harder.
After he ran out of his cabin, where his grandpa was, he ran to his friend Joe’s house.  When he got there, he kicked open the door, he exclaimed, “ONION JUICE GUN AGAIN!!!” Joe ran over to the man with a basket full of herbs.  He took a pear-like fruit and wrapped a grass-like plant around it and said helpfully, “This will probably clear it up.”  The man ate it quickly and stopped crying immediately.
Joe asked him, “Now what happened to make him do it again?”
The man said, “It was dinner time and we were having steak.  The salt was at my end at of the table and I had earphones in, listening to music. He asked me quietly to pass it and I did not hear him.  He asked again, then one more time.  Then he said, “Three strikes and you’re out.” This time I heard him.  He then took out the squirt gun and shot me straight in the eyes with the onion juice concoction. Again.”

Seeing the Chateaus of France.

We woke up in our hotel room in Tours and went downstairs for breakfast. A man named Pascal and his partner ran the hotel and Pascal were serving breakfast. He was very nice and served us incredible hot chocolate, croissants, baguette, Nutella, and jam. We ate quickly then got in a cab to the Tourist Office in Tours. From the Tourist Office, we took the van to start our tour of the Chateaus of France. This is Clos Luce, the Chateau where Leonardo da Vinci died. It has many of his incredible inventions inside of it. This was his workshop where he started his paintings, sketches, and designs for his inventions. This is a lifesize model of his most famous painting "the Mona Lisa". The is Chateau Chenonceau, considered the most beautiful Chateaus in all of France.

Day #1 in London

Image
My grandmother and I arrived at Heathrow in London at about 10:30 AM local time, and we were extremely tired. I had only got about an hour or two of sleep on the plane over the Atlantic ocean. We walked to the taxi area and got into a cab. The UK taxis are black and look old, on the inside, there is quite a large space, and three seats along the back of the car. There is no trunk in the UK taxis so we had lots of extra space inside the taxi. Even with the taxis old look, it had an intercom for talking to the driver and also an AC and window button. When we arrived at our hotel we put our bags down and immediately took a two-hour long nap before leaving for lunch. We ate lunch at the ale and pie restaurant below our hotel. I ordered an incredible beef burger, and Baba ordered a steak and blue cheese pie. After lunch, we walked about five minutes to big ben. The Big Ben This is a picture of the London eye.

Solar Powered

In our house, we recently installed solar panels to reduce our carbon emissions and also save about 45% of our annual costs for our house’s electricity. My Dad wrote a few questions for me to answer that would attempt to persuade much more people to add solar panels to their own houses, and also to try and persuade others to add them to their own houses. Why does solar work for our house? Solar works for our house because we have multiple roof areas mostly south facing that have sufficient sunlight to make a good amount of electricity to be worth the money that they cost. What is the design? There are 19 panels on the one side of the roof and 5 on the other side of the roof above Mom, and Dad’s bedroom How much does it cost? It costs $20,000  when they are installed, but nothing every year afterward. How much electricity will it produce? Our solar panels will produce about 5946 kWh every year for 25 years. What other financial benefits? We will save abou
