A lot better today, overall

Great sleep last night, so today was a far cry from yesterday.

The weather was also very nice, although compared to yesterday almost anything would have been nice.  I truly have never seen anything like the weather we have had this year.   From last winters snow-laden deep freeze to this summers unbelievable heat wave and yesterdays storms of epic proportions, it has been a wild ride.

Next week I will resume the major overhauling of this place.

I will keep you all posted.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Trying to get a Texas Longhorn into a truck..It ain’t easy

This is definitely not an easy job–in the middle of a highway.  The giant steer is at least a rather docile guy.

How’s about some jumping, playing, happy goats?

School Punishes Boy for Sharing Lunch REPRINT

From September 24, 2014

The link in the article does not work, but if you scroll down in the comments, Marlene’s comment has the link and a copy of the detention slip  PD)

So you’re absolutely, positive sure you want these idiot public schools “educating” your children? You’re really confident you can’t do just as good a job yourself?

Out in California, the Weaverville Elementary School punished an eight-grader with detention for sharing his lunch with another kid ( http://www.krcrtv.com/new/local/student-put-in-detention-for-sharing-school-lunch/28115110 ). The 13-year-old shared his chicken burrito with a friend who didn’t like the cheese sandwich slapped on his plate by the school cafeteria staff.

As usual, the brain-deads running the show took refuge in the “we have a policy” mantra, yatta-yatta. You never have to think about anything, if you have a policy.

But, see, they have thought about it! You’re not gonna believe me, so read up on what the founders of “public education” have to say for themselves. Check out R.J. Rushdoony’s The Messianic Character of American Education, which is mostly quotes from leading “education” theorists going back 150 years ( available from The Chalcedon Foundation, http://www.chalcedon.edu ). Their goal has always been the same: to turn schools and teachers into “change agents” to re-engineer human society along the socialist lines always proposed by left-wing moral imbeciles.

“Oh! But that happened out in California! They’d never do that in one of our town’s schools!”

Wise up, people. The same teachers’ unions run public education in all 50 states. Being in Texas won’t help you; your kids will get the same rubbish that they’d get in Massachusetts.

School officials in Weaverville say they forbid food-sharing because it might lead to kids dropping dead from allergies, or what have you.

Nah. They want to train the kids to accept without question whatever they are given, whether it’s a cheese sandwich in the cafeteria, or Global Warming and “Barack Hussein Obama, Mm-mm-hmm!” in the classroom.

Please, get your children out of there.

Here’s some New Jersey news for you…

Here’s some New Jersey news.  Be sure to listen to the part about the illegal voters.  That comes after the wild weather.  We’ve been talking about that for forever (illegal voters, not weather).  Enjoy.

His Robes For Mine

Weather in my neighborhood this afternoon Yikes

This has been a wild and woolly afternoon.  This is all very close to where I live.  Edison is the next town over from me.

Today was basically…horrendous.

Last night I had one of those awful nights where you wake up just about every hour on the hour.  You are sitting there at 3 a m, knowing that the next day is going to be a disaster.   And there’s not much you can do about it.

Needless to say, everything I tried to do today was like pulling teeth.

I saw a statement from that very nice man who was tossed by the bison at Yellowstone.  He is really a good guy, who did the right thing, and he got flipped anyway.  It was the jerk in the white truck who decided to blast his horn, which was the last straw for the poor bison.  Very unfortunate situation.

What I am going to attempt tonight is to stay up a little later than I usually do, and see if that helps.

My friend in Florida went to the Dr. today for an odd rash that she has on her hand.  She’s had it for a couple of weeks–and it turned out  to be shingles.  We always kid that we take turns for assorted disasters.

All I need right now would be a case of shingles.

On that joyful note, I’ll close.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
