OH, sweet blessed relief from Idi,,,,

I mean 4 watt flicker bulbs,,,,

All day, one other emp, and he actually has a brain, uses it, and learns quick. And without the added baggage of ‘a body’, we were able to get shit done, fix an issue (live electric near one section of fence) and while NOT done, hanging gates and getting loading up the old wooden fence we pulled out,,,,

But damn, the ease with which the day flowed. May have been some tricky spots, but not needting to explain “you touch that, you DIE”, repeatedly, with emphsis to make the point,,,,,

yeah,,,,

and get home and Grizz is in full “OMG, you left me here alone and it was FOREVER!!!!!!” clinginess,,,, Cripes kat, can’t you let your stinky perspiration soaked hooman slave have 10 minutes to wash the funk off?

NOoooo’s, ‘TTENTIONS NOWWWWW!!!!

So, I am tapping this out, on my just arrived warranty replacement keyboard atop a kat that is bound and determined to not let me move ‘eveh’gain‘. Tummies will win out, his or mine, but someone is going to get hungry sooner than later and then,,,,

There is an email in my inbox that I want to share with you, and yes, its somewhat a sales pitch (Tuttle twins, see side bar) but the point of it,,,, Well, I can’t figure out how to share the email without copy/paste it here (and it’s pretty long) but the opening point: a little experiment using common search engines like Giggles. Search string “school makes me feel,,,,,” and see how it feeds back. Now, I haven’t done it yet, but when you start seeing the words depressed, sad, suicidal,,, Something is wrong.

Something has BEEN wrong for a long time, and even I was getting some of it when I was still in school. The whole history thing before I gained a teacher that actually LOVED history, I can’t even tell you the torture I felt showing up to History in the 8th grade,,, enough that I felt compelled to just not show for that one classe A LOT,,, (and the coach/teacher told the counselors that I couldn’t read, but NEVER told them I just wasn’t showing up, and I know I wasn’t the only one, Funny that ‘can’t read ‘ claim. I read James Claveells Shogun series that year,,, I can’t read? hmmm?)

Now like Conner says, there are alot of people that will claim its a sign of our ‘snowflake culture’ and there is some merit to that, but I have seen some of the books that are being used these days, and education AIN’T in ’em. History is simple facts, if any facts can be found, and the students are never lectured on ‘who, why, what,” just rote memorization for passing some test tomorrow, and nothing more. Look on Utoob for examples of ‘asking college students history question’ and you will see total confusion from the questions,,,

Critical thinking is so far from the criteria of ‘modern american education’,

I know, I know, its not education, its indoctrination now,,,, Yeah,,, If we can’t fix that, and soon, I fear for my future, let alone theirs,,,,, I am spending my over the hill years acting as caretaker to my dad (and he is easy,,, ) what happens when I get to his age and those kids are at the support age I am in now?

I think I already know the answer to that. They started inroads for it in Canada. Its called Euthanasia,,,

and the yung’uns probably think thats some cool country in europe or something,,,,

Ok, Grizzy’s tummy won the fight over cuddles and now I can take care of mine,,,

more laters.
