One of Craig's uncles got a job with a lumber camp. One of his first duties was to cut wood for fires into cords. His first day he cut 4 cords, but his boss was not impressed. He said he would try harder. On the second day he cut 4 1/2 cords and his boss said his co-workers regularly cut over 5 cord. On the third day he cut 4 3/4 cords. His boss went to investigate and when he turned on the chain saw his uncle startled asked what the noise was.

Daniella's Report:
Daniella traveled with her host family to New Hampshire last weekend, leaving at 6am and 10 hour trip. They visited her oldest host sister attending the University of New Hampshire. She watched some hockey at the University and toured the University and area a little. They arrived home late Sunday night (Monday morning very early).
Daniella travels under a Danish past port. She has choice to travel with Danish or Faroese pass port but finds it easier with Danish because few people have heard of Faroese.
Today she told us about sheep in her country. They number about 70,000, more that the 52,000 people. The sheep are pastured most of the year on the mountainous grass lands of the islands. Some farmers have shelters but most do not. They typically slaughter the sheep in the fall, lambs come in the spring and they shear the sheep in spring / summer. Their sheep have no tails.
