My Day

    Today, dad (John) had to go to work AGAIN, so, again, mom (Maura) and I went to Harbor Island. I swung for a while, then we ate our sandwiches. I was going to get a soda, but the soda machine was broken. So, we went to Carvel, and I had a double chocolate fudge sundae, and mom got a salted caramel ice cream cone. We loved it!

The Weather

    Today, the weather was pretty much like yesterday. It was really warm, but a bit cooler than yesterday.

Music

    Today, I got some new favorite songs. My favorite songs are Party in the USA, Timber, Roar, Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, Mr. Mistofelees, Rum Tum Tugger, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, and Macavity the Mystery Cat. My favorite albums that are from movies and musicals are Mamma Mia, Fantasticks, Pippin, and Cats.

Pebble Partnership Mine in Dillingham, Alaska

by Molly Danko

    The Pebble Mine in Dillingham, Alaska should not be built. I don't know how safe Pebble Partnership is, so we can't completely trust them, no matter how safe they say they are.

    The mine could destroy streams, wetlands, and salmon populations. The people in Dillingham depend on salmon for food and money, so it would be a big, bad difference if all the salmon got killed by chemicals. Mines could seriously threaten salmon. A hundred miles of streams and/or rivers could be destroyed, too.

    One good reason to build the mine is that we would get everything we wanted. The bad side of that, though, is that we MIGHT be spoiled brats (MIGHT). Another good reason is that we'd get tons of electricity, but too much electricity is bad for your eyes.

    Another reason why they shouldn't build the mine is that in Charleston, West Virginia, a company called Freedom Industries had an accident. In Charleston, the chemicals leaked and spilled into the river. The people in the town couldn't drink any of the water. An accident like that could happen in Dillingham, and the salmon would get poisoned and die.

    Those are the reasons why I think that Pebble Partnership shouldn't build the mine.

My Day

    Today, dad (John) had to go to work, so me (Molly) and mom (Maura) were on our own.

    We went to Harbor Island and I swung for a long time. Then, we went and got a soda (Sprite) and chips (regular potato chips). Mom and I ate them in front of the beach, where we saw the boats go by. We went back to the swings, and I swung some more. Then, we went home and read on the terrace.

The Weather

    Today, there was mixed weather. It was sunny and burning hot all day. On Harbor Island, it got pretty windy. It rained like crazy last night.

Books

    I am reading many books. The American Girl books that I'm reading are: Julie, Samantha, Kit, Chrissa, McKenna, Mia, Saige, Lanie, Kailey, and Kanani. I am also reading Thea Stilton, Creepella Von Cacklefur, The Secrets of Droon, Canterwood Crest, Harry Potter, poetry, Warriors, and Lord of the Rings.

Additional Note(s)

    I have written an essay for school about the Pebble Partnership Mine in Dillingham, Alaska. I will enclose it.

Day One: May 17, 2014

Written by Molly R. Danko

    Last weekend, we (me, mom [Maura], and dad [John]) went to Central Park (in NYC) to climb rocks. The previous weekend, however, me and dad went to the Central Park Zoo. After that, dad encouraged me to climb rocks. I refused to at first, for I was frightened of falling. But dad had me go up, and once I had come back down, I had realized that instead of being scared, I went down quicker then I went up. So, the rest of the time we were in NYC, we were climbing rocks, having Popsicles, drinking soda, and swinging. We were having so much fun, we nearly forgot about the time.

    Back to last weekend: Before we started climbing rocks, mom, dad, and I went on a carriage ride. It was awesome! We had SO much fun. I even got to feed the horse two carrots! He was very friendly. His name was Patrick. Now, let's continue with an interview with M. Doern Danko.

Q: Did you have fun climbing rocks?

A: I didn't climb rocks as much as you guys did. The rocks were very beautiful.

Q: Did you have a Popsicle?

A: No, I had OJ.

Q: What did you do before you climbed rocks?

A: We went on a carriage ride, and walked around Central Park.

Q: What was the horse's name?

A: I think it was Patrick.

Q: Did you enjoy the carriage ride?

A: Oh, yes, it was very relaxing.

Q: Were you in Central Park very long?

A: Yeah, we were there a couple hours.

Q: Did anyone fall and get hurt on the rocks?

A: Nope. You were amazing climbing up those huge, crazy rocks.

Q: Do you go to NYC much?

A: Yeah, I like to go there a lot.

Q: Do you like riding the train?

A: Yeah, I like riding the train.

That about wraps it up for today. Go to mauramollyny.blogspot.com again this evening to see what happened today!
