Rebellion Against Authority Day

Yeah.

Supposedly that's what today is.

Apparently, some kids are trying to spread the word and organize a rebellion against (at least) Lehighton Area School District.

How do I know?

The Superintendent sent home a letter to parents telling them the school district would be working with the police department and that our children would not be put in jeopardy.

Except.

They sent the letter home.

With the children.

So now all the kids know.

Way to get the word out!

Friday Freebies!

Oy, still four left that have stumped you guys for three weeks? I want these out of here, so here's another shot at another quote from the same movie - no tricks here!

2. "They say it was the will of God that they came out of the jungle and built the mission. They don't understand why God has changed his mind."

3. A: "Enough about them, let's talk about you. What did you think of my last album?"
B: "I loved it!"
C: "I bought it too; my gerbil uses it for a room divider."

5. "I found out what JAFO is. 'Just Another Fucking Observer', huh?"

6. A: "Look, if you cut my head off it'll start to putrify!"
B: "Do what?"
A: "Putrify, go rotten!"
B: "Yeah, it would ooze a lot, heads do. But I could live with that."

229 and Lehigh Valley Schools

'229' rumors keep most Bethlehem high school students home

A co-worker's wife teaches in the Bethlehem SD, and none of her students showed up today.

Yay! I'm unemployed!

Now I'll have to see about getting the company I own to hire me... =)

I'll have to go up before the entire board for the interview process... that'll be rough. I know so much about me already, I'm really not sure what kind of questions I should ask myself...

Big step. Many appointments coming up. Need to get everything ready to go because it's showtime...

In other news, I'll be giving my car some much needed R&R on Monday. Put winter wipers on. Leave it at the garage until it has good oil and working turn signals. 60-70 miles a day, five days a week for five years is enough to wear out any piece of machinery. Maybe even get the check engine light fixed, for once.

This weekend, much to do. It looks like a good chance for plowing tomorrow morning. Have to assemble the wheelbarrow. Put the brush blades on the heavy trimmer and the split-boom trimmer. Need to assemble the new spreader, give it a quick trial run in the snow and see how it does. The old one - maybe 20-30 years old? - is too fragile now, and it would slip way too much. Also, it's a drop spreader, and much lower to the ground than this one. The new one has big ol' pneumatic tires instead of solid plastic ones. Both those will factor into how good it runs on snow in general and in this meadow in particular.

To continue this fragmented style of post, I installed the Slushbusters. Had to warm the truck up for a while - the adhesive likes to be above 40 degrees when first installed. So I sat around, listening to tunes and waited. The supplemental heater really, umm, heats things up, so it wasn't that long until I could pop on all the lights, squeegee the window dry, and install the strips. Gave it a few test runs and I think they'll work. We'll see if it's still snowing tomorrow morning!
