Amy, Molly and I go for a walk. We get to the end of the street and Amy walks up to a tree, covers her eyes with both hands, leans toward the tree, and counts to five.

Where does she learn this stuff?! (television and siblings)

I suppose our schools could be worse: School’s lessons full of errors

Lockyer said the curriculum consisted of a slim workbook riddled with errors, including:
  • The United States has 53 states but the “flag has not yet been updated to reflect the addition of the last three states” — Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
  • World War II began in 1938 and ended in 1942.
  • There are two houses of Congress — the Senate and the House, and “one is for Democrats and the other is for the Republicans, respectively.”

OUTSOURCING JOBS REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

The move is being made to save $400K a year in salary, a record $521 Billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead. “The cost savings will be quite significant” …
“I am excited to serve in this position,” Mr. Singh stated in an exclusive interview. “Working nights will let me keep my day job at the American Express call center. I always knew I could be President someday.”

President does comedy and scores laughs

ok. Our news casters wear earpieces so that the director, producer et al can speak into their ear. Shouldn’t our president have advisers speaking directly into his head? Perhaps just enough to say, “Ok George! Shutup!”

Of course I could see him holding his head nodding, noddling, say ‘yes. ok. that’s good’ then addressing the crowd “my answer is….” Then saying something like, “No, all my thoughts are my own.”

Wahoo! I programmed and made go progress. More to come but I need to balance tasks. I’ve started putting information into FutureStep and need to continue. These things are time consuming. I am ready to make sales calls but its lunch time.
