Your blond roots are showing

I think I followed most of the lecture on Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics With a little bit of sea floor spread? Hmm sounds a bit like my ass size.
I tried to stop my eyeballs from rolling back in my head. Some old dogs cannot be taught new tricks. I am going to read chapter two and re-read the notes and see if I can understand.
You know, we were taught about the continental drift theory in grade school, note: Our books were probably from the fifties. They probably were you know, most of the school board forgot about Pierce Idaho and thought that the little savages that lived there were beyond redemption, let alone anything resembling science study.
AND now I find that only a few days ago, I explained about continental drift to my son as if it were a reasonable law not an old theory refuted in the sixties. I am so embarrassed. I really did try to keep up on science you know. Damn, I wonder what else I have been telling my son that has been refuted in the last forty years??? YIKES!
Next time I am asked a scientific question I will research it before giving my answer.
