hidden substation

this weekend, i was driving home one day and i magically found this power substation, at least that's what i think it is. i totally did not see this before. i was like where in the world did that come from? so i walked back to investigate this place and took a picture. we learned in class that the electricity from the magnetic field feeling a change when a magnet is moved through a coil of wire, probably rather large ones, is passed from the power plant to the transmission substation to the transmission lines and then to this attractive piece of machinery. These then pass it through the power lines, where the voltage goes down so that it is able to perform when we use electricity.

pancakes

last weekend i worked at a pancake fundraiser for key club. i was there from 5 am to 12. ridiculous i know. anyways, me, my friend and this weird guy, chang, from kaiser were in charge of making pancake batter. we poured the cake batter and water into this rather large mixing bowl. there was a super big mixer spatula thing that rotated which had 4 levels of intensity. the weird dude liked to change the speed of the mixer and he did that quite often. one time when he put it on level 4 by accident, the batter flew off tangent and got the sides all messy. i also did a lot of work by pushing the heavy bucket of batter to the station that cooked the pancakes.
