A little humour for your day
HAPPY THURSDAY! Before oldest grandson Bode began school, he and I spent many days together, as both his parents pursued careers and I had recently retired. On April 1st one year I pulled a silly prank on four-year old Bode, and he asked why. I explained to him the tradition and humor in...- Straight Arrow

Evaluate the ROI on Education
Agree with those statements. Sadly, the concern about academic success nationally slipping is borne out by evaluation of performance to long established standards. IMO, it is critical to require and nurture students to meet standards in studies of math, English, and science, as well as...- Straight Arrow

National Vietnam Veterans Day, March 29th
Tell your Dad that, contrary to erroneous conclusions, we WON that war. Vietnam is much more a capitalistic free nation than a country following and resembling Communist China. The tourism, international trade, golf courses built, and the fact that my HOKA hiking boots were made in Vietnam all...- Straight Arrow

No Pallet Fires!?!
And typically near the pieces of busted up pallets with nails or staples, is the five gallon plastic poop bucket full to the brim.- Straight Arrow

Yes TOGIE, a common sense kind of guy. It seems such issues generate unnecessary angst in many folks who get negatively wrapped around the axle of specific sub-issues such as accuracy of pins and fences possibly not exactly marking the correct boundary. Is the crossing four inches wide ...- Straight Arrow

Californians build house in GNP. FCD demands halt and removal.
Appeal of this District Court decision was predictable. As pointed to by the judge, construction such as this house is subject to federal environmental laws. Although the National Park Service ostensibly seemed to grant an okay essentially by inaction, the question of a formal permit remains a...- Straight Arrow

Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!
Everyday deal, yes. However, Bonasbaby is pointing to the irony as the current administration is firing highly educated, experienced, knowledgeable, professional folks who now need a new job and the Chinese are offering to help them ... albeit to the benefit of China and to the detriment of...- Straight Arrow

Deeded land and Leased Public Land
You may recall the shooting death of Robt Lavoy Finicum during the Bundy Malheur Wildlife Refuge standoff debacle. Finicum (from AZ & NM) had leased BLM and constructed stock water features and done other work on his leased mostly pasture land. He felt so strongly about then owing that land...- Straight Arrow

Not meant to be disrespectful, but way back in Psych 101, that would be referred to as a "glittering generality".- Straight Arrow

Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!
I do understand your support of this small acreage sale. Generally, I would say on principle it's concerning, but as the article explains, there are some postive gains for Nevada. But this is a direct federal lands sale, not an example of PLT. This does boil down to a difference between Nevada...- Straight Arrow
