[This was the subject that Gene had the most trouble in. History. Bored. Him. He hated reading tabloids and to him, US History was too fluid to give any solid proof other than a few letters and documents. The rest was speculation and possible outcomes.

He picked his seat in the middle of the class room and opened his book. Again, he ripped apart the text instead of looking at the material objectively. He lifted his brow and rubbed the back of his neck. He shook his head and started to look at the economic aspects of the history instead. To him, it was all about the numbers since the numbers didn't lie.]

[Kio blinks over at him]

You look upset.

[He blows out a puff of air and looks up from the book.]

I'm not good with history. Did you know that the Great Depression was known as The Dirty Thirties because of the Dust Bowl in the Midwest? It was over farming and the lack of knowledge that caused the depression to begin with. The banks were having a hay day with foreclosures on massive amounts of property because the farmers couldn't pay the mortgage. How could they when nothing was growing?

It wasn't until the Administration of the new presidency that came in and showed the farmers a new method of rotation that we slowly started to recover. The Black Monday and Black Sunday thing was just the beginning. The Great Migration to California was a dead end for some and a lot of people died from starvation and dehydration while they crossed the desert.

[Hello my name is Kio, I don't particularly like intellectual things that aren't art. If it's art history or art I can talk to you for hours. But this stuff is beyond my interest or understanding. However I am going to smile and nod and pretend I know what's going on.]

[Gene clears his throat, recognizing the expression that Kio's using from when his wife would do the same thing when he talked about expenditures and deficits.]

Sorry.

Huh? Oh, it's okay. You're passionate! That's good!

Yeah? [a smile] Thanks. It's funny though. I graduated high school, oh, nine years ago and I'm looking at this oddness as a refresher.
