Today, Wilson, Jack and I went on a visit to the fire department and meet Fire Chief Kane. It was interesting to receive a request from another department to do work in a program that I had just learned. Unfortunately, Jack was given the task and I was given full responsibility of the Parks and Rec data.

The data stories group project was an entirely different animal than the group projects in school. Going...
