Chicago Auto Show, World of Awesomeness

Recently me, my brother, my dad, and my cousin went to Chicago to see the largest auto show in North America.

We saw some of the most exotic cars in the world. Like Mclaren, Lamborghini, and Maserati.

                                                                                                        

                                

And some normal Volkswagens. Although that Fender Edition Beetle was pretty cool.

I also think the Audi R8 Quattro is totally awesome. I mean just, look at it!

And also, being me, I just had to see my first EVER Lamborghini. And I did. Behold the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Performente, Aventador LP-700-4, and Gallardo LP 560-4 the coolest cars in the history of the super car!!

                                                                                         

This thing looks like it will run you over.

See what I mean?
We also saw some unbelievable concept cars.                                                      

Weird huh? Look at the head lights. They remind me of laser guns.






We also saw some new cars. Like Chevrolet's new Corvette Stingray. Pretty cool!

So, as you can see, the Chicago Auto Show was a blast. Well, one more lesson. Ferraris are bad, Lamborghinis are great.

My latest writing assignment was pretty interesting. I had to write a cause and effect essay.So I just had to post it. Just so you know, I really really like airplanes, especially fighters.  

Did you know that airplanes can predict the weather? Contrails are white streams that come out of the end of jet engines.  When they are thin and short lived that indicates low humidity at high levels. That means fair weather. On the other hand, a thick contrail means stormy weather. Contrails affect the temp on earth.

                 Contrails affect the temperature by blotting out the sun. This lowers the temperature.  Contrails can last for many hours. They are hard to study because there are either too many crisscrossing or don’t last long enough. 9/11 was a good time to study contrails, with all the planes grounded. In fact, on a NASA satellite picture, the only contrails seen on September 12 were the ones from Air force 1 and some escort fighters.  

              So, in conclusion, contrails are a type of pollution, but are helpful in figuring out the weather! Contrails are bad but I think they look cool.

                

                              You see B-52s doing that all the time. See you!

Nothing really exciting EVER happens on Mondays

Hi, sorry about the long break between now and then. School was easier than normal because we did it on Friday. Trust me, Mondays are not my favorite day of the week, thanks to school. My favorite day is Sunday, because we go to church.

                   Guess what, my dad just sent in our check to go to the submarine I mentioned earlier; so it's official. I can't wait, it's going to be so fun! 

                Have you ever noticed that nothing really exciting ever happens on Mondays? I sure do! Well, maybe  next time I'll have more to tell. Bye!

Puzzle Feeders and Piano

Twelve comments on my first post! That is too cool!! Anyway, today was really easy school-wise. Mainly because we went to the zoo for something called " Zoo Explorers." I was an eleven year-old in a sea of six, seven, eight and nine year-olds. But it was pretty interesting. We learned how to make "puzzle feeders." Feeders the animals have to work on to get the food out.

                Some of you wanted to hear me play some of my instruments. Well, here you go. And the song I'm playing, "Beauty and the Beast," is my mom's favorite song.

First post ever.

OK, this is the first time I've ever done this; so at first it might be a little shaky. I'm Joshua, all my friends call me "Josh." I am eleven years old and destined to be either a world famous guitarist or naval officer, can't tell which. This blog will be about, well, everything,everything worth telling anyone who wants to listen.
                     The really exciting things that happened to me lately are that I got a Fender Mustang 1 guitar amp for Christmas.

I'm going to the Maritime Museum in Mantiwoc, Wisconsin, this summer, to spend the night on-board a real World War II submarine, the USS Cobia. (More info after the trip.)

And,I got baptized.
