Current River Missouri - My Favorite Place



Figure 1: Panorama of The Current River from Wikimedia

The current river is a tributary river flowing in the Mississippi that forms in the southeastern Ozarks of Missouri. It is my favorite camping spot. Canoeing down it with my boy scout troop is one of my favorite memories, as it was one of the most relaxing experiences that I've ever had. Alternatively, kayaking against friends provided adequate excitement when I had my fill of relaxation. I highly recommend that everyone visit, as it is an accessible and relaxing camping experience.

    What a beautiful picture, Jenon! There are so many lovely places you can find in the Ozarks, sometimes hidden away, not famous at all, but very beautiful! And RIVERS: as you can imagine, rivers are an incredibly important part of the geography of India. And the river Ganga is a river AND a goddess. And she will be a character in the Mahabharata, one of the epics we will be reading. So keep an eye out for rivers in the reading; you will find them! Wikipedia: Ganga.

    Jenon,

    What an awesome picture! I wish I experienced more adventures in the outdoors because it looks so much fun. I have a fear of drowning so I don't know about kayaking, but you did make it seem awfully fun! Have you gotten to do any nature adventures here in Oklahoma? I have been wanting to hike the Wichita Mountains, but I have a feeling it is nothing compared to that river.

An aerospace and electrical engineering double major, the most enjoyable aspect of my profession is telling people that airplane companies use glue to hold modern composite planes together, such as the Boeing 787. I hope to work for Boeing, and I have a second internship lined up with them this summer. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute something meaningful to the company.

Week 3 Story: Rama's Banishment Episode

Image
Figure 1: Depiction of Rama   Wikimedia “You have been stripped of all property and banished. You are to leave by tonight, and you may only take the supplies that we have laid out before you.” Rama looked at the provisions that his father had laid out for him: two robes of bark, a water sling, a basket, a spade and small sack of coins. “Father, this must… there must be some kind of mistake. This is a joke isn’t it?” Just then, Manthara appeared and spoke. “Excuse me sir! I think we forgot to give him sandals and sword as well.” A servant brought Rama sandals and his sword as well. As the servant handed Rama his sword, the reality of the situation finally came to him, and he felt as though the very earth were falling apart. His sword, a khanda given to him by his father had been stripped of its jewel encrusted handle and re-hilted with a plain wooden handle wrapped in string. Worse still, the etchings on the blade describing his family's history ...
