i'm not setting the bar very high for GRich. any positives we can get from him are cherries on the cake.

maybe this will help:

we will do here what we do best . . .

and the halos are currently near dallas . . . coincidence? i think not.

we donated through ADRA, which is a relief organization from the seventh-day adventist church. they do a ton work worldwide. i have nothing to push - donate wherever your heart tells you to. but if the red cross makes you uncomfortable, take a look at https://adra.org.

it's funny 'cause it's true. i tried tofurkey once and couldn't stand it. but it makes for a good running joke around here, and i'm okay with that.

dude, como esta!

gracias, boys.

what channel is the game on? my usual channel is showing college football.

i'll let you guys go all lord of the flies on each other while i'm sitting in the cat bird seat scarfing down some tofurkey and fa-con.

is this the beginning of ramadan? we no longer get updates on muslim holidays from washington since january of this year . . .

what a horrible abuse of power and position. there are very clear, specific rules to follow, and this egomaniac - who is ironically charged with following the rules - violated every protocol for no discernible reason, and inspite of it being pointed out by multiple people. the nurse has been released and no charges were filed, and she has a strong case to sue him. the officer should be fired immediately.

i've been getting spam calls about staying at a resort (no name ever mentioned). they use my area code and the first three numbers of my cell phone but the last four numbers are always different each time they call. i don't know if there's a name for this. usually get a call about once every couple of weeks.

several years ago my wife and i were watching a show on food network and as they went into commercial they said "stay tuned, these are the best cinnamon rolls you'll ever eat." they weren't kidding. we (used to) bake them in a pie tin, and if it had been allowed, i would have eaten the entire tin. if anyone wants the recipe, i can post it. you won't regret it.

no?

when your cup is half empty, it's okay to refill your cup.

eh, big deal. i've seen better.

that's legislation that i would oppose vigorously.

my opinion of you is not very favorable right now.

a/c company came out to the house today and discovered our coil was a mess. they cleaned it and it's as good as new, so we're in good shape at home. at school, our day went a lot differently than planned. got a text from my principal at 7:40 am that school was cancelled today. figured it was because of the extreme heat headed out way. turns out one of our classrooms caught on fire. the amount of fire was limited and was electrical - a power strip ignited some time during the night/early morning and started to burn slowly, then the flames came out at some point. fortunately and fortuitously for us, this all happened by a 40-gallon fish tank. the flames were rolling when the fish tank exploded, and the water ended up extinguishing a lot of the flames. FD came in and put out the rest at that time, only needing one hose to do so. very fortunate that the walls were filled with cement/concrete (whichever it is) and used some cinder blocks because this was a first story classroom, and if it flared, it would have led to an entire wing of classrooms catching fire, including mine. fire damage was significant, but the smoke damage was even worse. the classroom and everything in it is a total loss. teachers spent the morning helping the affected teacher relocate to an empty classroom not too far away. we all contributed extra supplies we had, from pencils to paper to erasers to playground balls. i was very impressed by the team i work with. we'll need to replace all of the textbooks, but all of the students' school supplies have been replaced from our extras. the classroom has also been decorated, with teachers contributing posters and helping cut out letters for a setting more familiar to them. it already looks like she's been in this new room for several months. on a side note, my classroom a/c was fixed and works fine now.

i wish someone had told me this before i had my first shirley temple.

Got the filter changed at home and that solved the problem. the a/c unit at school was iced up. Letting it melt tonight and hoping it'll turn on in the morning. Going to be 109 tomorrow and a/c is a must at this point.
