Good morning to all- Home schooling for some kids is the best placement. I have never and never will claim that public schools work for all kids. I will claim that for the great majority of kids, public school is the best place for them to learn, grow and prosper. I rejoice with all kids who...

Mr. Anderson and Mr. Alaska- I truly wish I could sit down and speak with you in person. I do believe you'd find that I am a positive, encouraging, and dedicated person who worked very hard for almost forty years in all kinds of educational situations to help my students improve their skills and...

Good afternoon to all- thank you, Mr. Crawford- best news I've heard all day. you all be safe and keep well- Ed

Good morning to all- Please explain just how "taking summer vacation away from children" is a "gift to to the public schools?" And the only "indoctrination" I ever did in my years of teaching in the public schools was to insist on decent and respectful behavior towards others and the...

Good morning to all- Let me correct you- I don't do "impressions." I speak the truth and if it offends someone, it's still the truth I say. And if you are insulted by the truth, then it's your problem, not mine. And I did not "pledge" anything. I try to avoid politics. you all be safe...

Good evening to all- I do try- to tell the truth. If the truth makes certain folks angry or insecure, that's unfortunate. I can't lie and say that I approve of what is said or done by vile, lying, abusive old men in positions of power. I must assume- according to some folks here- that I...

Good afternoon to all- I wondered how long I could post here before I offended someone. Not long it seems. I posted an honest opinion in reply to a question asked here- but I suppose that sort of thing is not acceptable here. I'm sorry that the thin-skinned persons here find my honest posts...

Good afternoon to all- Yes. the First Felon IS a life challenge. He has no notion of the value of wild, undeveloped lands which benefit us all. Instead, he sees any "undeveloped" land as a waste of money-making opportunity- whether for mining. logging or golf course construction... And to...

Good morning to all- As far as school schedules go, I think a year-round schedule- with breaks between terms- would be a good idea to consider. A lot of places, a year-round run would help keep kids safe, well fed, and out of super-hot temperatures. These schedules would have a good holiday...

Good morning to all- So both of our older kids- both teachers in public schools- are either getting ready to start their classes this year or already back in the saddle. It's a hard time, the start of school- new kids, new rooms, new routines- it's hard on everyone. But, it's very, very...

Good afternoon to all- Well here on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, it's a wonderful day- hot, but clear, a light breeze and a bit lower humidity. and that worries me, it does. You see, down here in hurricane country, the very best weather days come right before a tropical storm comes ashore...

Good afternoon to all- The person in question- AOC- does not have the market on stupid cornered in Washington. There are a great many stupid people in government from the very highest positions on down. And it seems that the stupider the politician, the more noise he/she makes. Funny how...

Good afternoon to all- Connie Bennet- I agree with you. Let the time be one thing or the other- just settle and go with it. And you never lied when you talk about dairy farming and dairy cows. If you want to have a very time-limited life, try being dairy farmer for a while. And it doesn't...

Good afternoon to all- Through the years, I've picked and eaten a fairly wide range of "wild" foods. And I'm still here to tell about it. For instance, I have eaten a lot of poke salat- yep, that's the way it's said and spelled- and handled properly, poke is good. The young leaves are best...

Good morning to all I don't envy you all up north and west- I would find dealing with wildfires very troubling, I think. Down here on the Gulf Coast, we deal with hurricanes and hot/humid weather, but wildfires are very rarely a problem. I think that smoke and imminent evacs would be very...

Good morning to all- Mary Stetler- We have raised a whole bunch of rabbits for meat. At first, I was hesitant about the killing of the warm, fuzzy bunnies, I was. So when it came time to kill and process the first batch of rabbits, I felt not at all happy about being the killer. I grabbed up...

Good morning to all-' Just got four pretty long- 36 inch- bar clamps for wood-working- edge gluing wood pieces from ebay. I like ordering from ebay- usually get my stuff in a couple of days- like a quick Christmas- sort of... you all be safe and keep well- Ed

Good morning to all- Quiet day here. We don't have any appointments, schedules or demands today. I've already been down to the flying field to fly a little radio-control airplane around, and I made my trips to the local ponds to pester the fish. I took off the clamps on the wooden chairs I...

Good morning to all- I don't care whether we go Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time- just make it ONE time. When I was teaching, those time changes were very tough on the kids- having to get up an hour earlier and an hour later. People are most certainly creatures of habit, and just an...

Good morning to all- I don't give a hoot in hell about rodeo- just not interested in it. But anyone who has ever lived in the country and raised livestock of any kind for food, a couple of things are learned very quickly. First, raising livestock for food requires the human involved to treat...
