Hi!  My name is Shorty and I am 4 years old!
First I want to say thanks for trying to keep us safe to all the soldiers out there!

Today I want to talk about my favorite TV show,

Thomas the Tank Engine

The show is all about Thomas and his friends.
Some of their names are Gordon and Percy.

My favorite engine is Emily, because when I play with my Emily in the living room, her wheels go deep in the carpet and I can pretend it's snowing.  Here's a picture of Emily:

Emily is green and she doesn't have a number.  Instead she just has some squares.

Another engine is James.

He's my second favorite engine because he's red and red is a pretty color.  James is number 5. 

There's a new engine called Molly.

I don't know much about her yet except that she's yellow.

 

Here are some fun things you can do online with Thomas:

Play games and more at Thomas' site!

 Some printable activity sheets here!

 Lost of stuff to know about Thomas here!

I hope you like my thread.  I had fun telling you about my favorite TV show.

I wish that I had seen this thread yesterday  so that I might have posted about this.

The Difference Engine.

Charles Babbage, postulated the very first card reader or computer. It was called the difference engine, and it is considered by some to be the prototype of the very first computer.

As I recall, he never actually built the thing, but he did design it. There are plenty of links on the Internet concerning the "Difference Engine" or "Charles Babbage" for some enterprising young student to explore.

Hugs Kathy.

Glad work was a little better.

I understand about wanting to wail the hel# out of someone.

I feel like that every time I get a cussing on the phone at work.
