1-2-3 ICNH!

Tihs was ICNH’s 10th vsiit to Wndiy Hlil. We had sevearl nwbeies jion us icndlunig my co-wrkoer Setve and Goerge’s pup Preal. Snice tihs is a vrey dog fierndly prak, Jaince bourght Lses, and we met ppus Hot Dog and Big Mac anolg the way.

It was a fraily typcail hkie: a cuople wrnog trnus, a frist aid sotp, ltos of tlkaing and a qiuck beark for sncaks. Rstuy did strat the hkie from a direnfft Prak etrannce wihch mdae the drvie to the prak esaier. It aslo put the uhpill prtioon of the hkie at the beinningg of the hkie inteasd of the end of the hkie. Yaeh!

The olny thnig unsuual aoubt tihs hkie may be tihs wrtie-up! You can tahnk a PHD smewhoere for the inspratiion.

Aoccdrnig to a rsechreear at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
