The funny thing is that he was trying to be provocative to get discussion going ... but... we all agreed with him so there was no arguing. The Army is pretty conservative. Heh.
That's a hoot! I love Walter Williams! "Black, by popular demand"!
Heh, it's hard to provoke when everyone is in agreement. I guess someone could play 'devil's advocate' just to get things rolling.
Good morning!

We watched Patton last night. I'm ashamed to admit I'd never seen it. What a terrific flick!
Alyson has her open house today, so I'll be taking her to school later this afternoon to meet her teachers. We're all very excited.
Aaack! School. We're not ready.
We missed "fee night" at the high school Monday. Sure they'll still take the money, but parking is full. Wife is going to beg today.
If that doesn't work out, we'll have him park at our friend's house near the school. Still, it was a major ooops on our part.
Heh...at the college, people always ended up parking on the grass for the first few weeks.
But the end of the semester, enough kids had dropped out or started skipping classes that it wasn't a problem anymore...
Not that I'm recommending that approach, mind you.
Well, what happened last year was that he didn't get parking as soon as he got his license. But he did shortly thereafter.
Enough kids lose parking for truancy or discipline offenses that there will be spaces opening up.
But, as a senior, he ~shouldn't~ have to wait.
I have a copy of my Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon certificate in my office..
I don't know if I've mentioned it, but one of my biggest problems with the school back in Miami is that it had ZERO parking for parents.
They had a small faculty parking lot and that was it. So parents were forced to park wherever they could (and risk having their car towed) or just drop off their kids in the front. It wasn't that much of a problem for Becky, except when she was in kindergarten.
I was not about to leave a 5 year old on the sidewalk and hope she made it to class OK. :-/
The school here has better parking. The school however is scheduled to be torn down next year and rebuilt to open in 2008. So poor Aly will be starting kindergarten in one school and then attend the following years in the rebuilt one.
A wee bit confusing, but it should be OK.
*Snort* Look out Castro! He's coming for you!
Hanging on the wall? That must provoke some chuckles.
"I read your book!"
Ramius and I laughed and laughed over that line. Just beautiful.
You guys think you can make it here before noon on Saturday? Bob and Kay's Jessie is going to join us too at noon, expecting to go to the corn maze :~) She's about Becky's age, and I think they'll have a great time, though Becky will probably be bummed to meet yet another friend that lives too far away.
I don't see why not. We'd like to get on the road as early as possible so we hit better traffic. :-D
Honey, what do you think about getting up and out by 10am?
~chuckling~
