too much thermal retention in a full-body suit for active use anywhere outside of the arctic.
I've been mulling this since 1992.
I'll let you see what I have anon.

"What are you and Prout up to?" One never knows where such idle speculation may lead.
"If one wanted to send Knights in Shining Armor out to do battle with each other using battle axes and broadswords, I'd hope the operators are safely enclosed in the tele-operator's booth rather than inside the doomed gladiators out in the arena."
I'm getting a glimmer of a potential entertainment possibility here.

Great story - I believe I raised the "pet bat" issue when the thing originally appeared.
You can get a kit for a bat house at the hardware store or Hobby Lobby!

I must add that our local equivalents of Primus and Secundus would be washing dishes, scrubbing toilets, and making their siblings' beds for a couple of weeks, as penance for Bearing False Witness. Very unScoutly behavior, that.

When young Daniel and his girlfriend Pamela got into a tussle, they ended up breaking the small sapling that had been recently planted.
The family newspaper headline read:
“War! Daniel, Pam, Level Maple in a Draw.”

Thank you!
How are you doing?
I was unable to take the firearms class in January, but the one in June/July looks perfect, so I'm saving up my sheckels.

I have already issued the first of several punishments.
Apparently, my instructions regarding the bat compositions were "suspiciously vague".
*looking about innocently, whistling a nameless tune, buffing my nails*
I expected compositions that started with the specific event and which added general facts gleaned from their readings after the fact. I received, instead, one factual report and one story (replete with examples of finger pointing), from each of the penitents.
How unfortunate for them that Prof. Alice is their mother! I shall enjoy nailing them repeatedly on rewrites. (Compositions are re-written until they are perfect in all respects with regards to Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Penmanship, etc.)
As the composition is something that they are required to do, it takes precedence over any and all other activities that they want to do. There will be very little joy in Mudville for Primus and Secundus until the compositions meet my standards of perfection.
I am, however, intrigued by your suggestion of a proper penance. They already do chores around the house, including washing dishes and other grubby housework, so the penance would need to be modified. Still, the idea has tremendous appeal.
TC, I would love to consult with you further about how you discipline your children. I think I've run out of effective ideas. Would you please FReep me when you have a moment?
