Problem of the Day
Mrs. Leibowitz and Ms. Star were wondering if you could help them identify this type of cactus. We saw it while at eating dinner at a restaurant last night.
Search on Kid Rex for desert vegetation to identify this cactus. Tell us a little bit about this cactus in your Bright Side Journal.
Thanks for your help!

Mrs. Leibowitz and Ms. Star needed to rent a car in San Diego. They could either pre-pay for a tank of gas at the price of $45 as a one time charge, or put gas in the tank on their own at the rate of $3.49 a gallon. If their car takes roughly 12 gallons of gas, what is the better deal? Should the pre-pay or fuel the car themselves?

Read about the Gnat Line by clicking on the picture to the left.
Can you tell Mrs. Leibowitz and Ms. Star which parts of Georgia to avoid?
They don't want to run into the gnats!
