0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid Podcasts. Hello! |
0:24.8 | And welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast. |
0:33.2 | Our mail today comes from a really cool area in the western part of New York State called the Finger Lakes. |
0:35.7 | Mail bag! |
0:38.1 | Mail bag! Mail bag. |
0:44.4 | Hello, my name is Alden, and I am seven years old. |
0:50.4 | I love listening to your podcast, especially when I need some time alone to calm my mind. |
0:56.2 | I wanted to write in and ask if you could do an episode on boats. I live near the Finger Lakes, so we are surrounded by water and boats. How does the fuel go to the engine? What makes |

1:53.6 | two million years ago, the glaciers that covered lots of this area in New York retreated, and when |
2:00.4 | they did, trenches were carved into the |
2:02.9 | ground. When those trenches filled with water, they formed the Finger Lakes. Both of those are really |
2:10.0 | interesting explanations. Let's start learning about boats. Great idea. Back in 2012, |
