Their problems run much deeper than CC or NCLB. School board's composed of politically appointed cronies with an imported, AA superintendent.

The paper's caught 'em in several lies recently. The reporter also busted up an attempt to hold an illegal – by definition – closed door meeting. I expect the reporter to be reassigned in the near future as the last public schools reporter did.

They started a revolving door, unconventional hours school for drop outs and disciplinary problems. Supposed to start this year but they failed to secure a building for it – no kiddin'.

It's kinda comical if your kid isn't in the system. Imagine a Keystone Cops version of a school board.

TK, sad to say, that's about the same price everywhere. If you can find pistol powder, it's $25-30, , primers are getting easier to find, probably $3.50-4 per hundred. That leaves $18-20 for the bullets, + tax. I'm afraid the current situation has turned the whole country into California when it comes to anything shooting related(Except for the stupid lead ban........so far)

Just got my Midway order. Some .348 Win brass to form into various old milsurp cases, and an 8MM and .303 bullet mold. Weather has cooled off, so my workshop should be just right for melting lead now.

We also don't have Common Core here.

Fighting it here, our Governor let it in, not the legislature. Same Governor that just had a record 57 vetoes over ridden. ( Dem Gov, Rep legislature)

So do many of the NPS teachers. They stay out by leavin'. Memory serves they lost 22% of their experienced classroom teachers last year and 18% this year.

All the neat stuff comes in with federal money.

The shop had more pistol powder on the shelves today than I've seen inna while. Had 6 pounds of Bullseye. Thinkin' it was twenty six 'n change. Had some WST 'n 296 too. Over the last few months I've picked up 'nuff pistol stuff, in general, ta last a spell. Lookin' for specific powders now. Still want some Titegroup.

Moose brought home some take-out lasagna and salad for supper. It was good, we don't do Italian much. I woke up for a plumbing check and can't go back to sleep. I fixed a cup of Cawffee from the Kuerig. It's Decaf, so maybe I can go back to sleep in a few minutes.

Mornin', y'all.

High end of the seventies 'n cloudy. Fall is merely a concept.

Gotta gas the station wagon. Prolly go upscale with lunch there at Sam's.

Mentioned the improperly named tunnel yestitty. That one's on the commonwealth. Look o'er the pilot (lower case intended) bright 'n early. Seein' NAS Oceana's in Chesapeake. Guess where the revisionist reporter's from...........

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. It may be a 2 pot morning. I am still sleepy and I had weird dreams all night. The first cup of Cawffee went fast, I've started on the second one.

Thanks for the coffee,Slim ;)

48 and sun here. Off today, we broke a mower yesterday and my Boss is using today to fix it( tie rod). Dog's are going off, the paper's here. Have to do the lawn today once it dries enough. After that, maybe the dogs will get a bath, plus I've got to clean the valve casings on the Olds, number two wanted to hang up at practice Wednesday night. Usual problem after a horn's been chem cleaned. Dries the casings out too much and it takes a while to build up extra lubricant film ::)
I might be slow, but I'm mostly accurate.....
