"It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn." - Eric Hoffer

I would like to think that people my age and younger are now constantly learning thanks to the internet. I'm wonder if Mr. Hoffer would agree, but I'm more curious if any of my peers would agree. has the balance shifted? are we too busy learning to have time left to be productive?

What a busy day! Today we went to the trout hatchery here in Branson and learned all kinds of things about how the trout are grown. next we went to try go karts, but both of the boys took one look and were not wanting to try out the noisy things. So we went and did some indoor mini-golf instead. Both boys got a hole in one! we checked out an arcade, and had a blast there. Then we headed over to a the talking rocks cavern. It was a frightening experience for Logan given that it was cold, dark wet and high up at points. We tried out Rocco's Pizza based on some reviews on trip advisor and were not disappointed. Finally, we went to The Landing and did some shopping and watched the Fountain and Fire show.

Today I learned that the trout in lake Taneycomo need to be constantly stocked because the variability in the outflow from the Tablerock dam means that the trout spawning will not be successful.  I also learned that by creating the tablerock dam, that we've effectively made the waters inhospitable for most of the native fish, and that of course means that trout are not native to Missouri.
