  2. Those cakes were not Tinkerbell. Pretty sure that was her cousin Tacobell. Easy to confuse the two I guess.

    Happy Friday Miss C!

  3. Thank you for the article on Juan Romero. Too easily we forget the "nobodies" caught in a tragedy like the RFK assassination.
    Very few tragedies are limited to a single "target." Their families, their friends, the innocent bystanders are forever changed by a single act.
    But the "nobodies" bear their wounds in obscurity.

  4. JFK, RFK, their loss made the world worse.
    But when do we get a DJT to make the world better ?

  5. AI only fools ai. Schools are focused on passing, not teaching. Students are focused on grades, not learning.
    Mediocrity is the new excellence.
    I taught for 12 years. I saw teachers give multiple choice tests straight from a test bank, knowing full well that the students had access to the answers, and still give the students two chances to pass.
    It was rare to have a student who read all the material and did all the work themselves. And it only got worse after COVID.
