It's that time of year again. Those days of lockers that seemed to fail you one way or another. For me it never seems to fail when I had to ride the bus, and it was running late for that meant you will be running late, and that meant for some reason the darn locker would not open for you remembered your combination, nothing was stuck that stopped it from opening. The warning bell went off and you try a few more times maybe you went a tad too far in clicks, but the final bell rang, and you give it one good kick, and it opens. You practically had to run to homeroom before the classroom door shuts, and you are marked absent for no fault of your own. How many of you remember such things happen to you in those halcyon days of yore, come on be honest.

My Favorite Dead Writer
Oh, what is this Facebook thing I keep hearing about. Is it like radio for I believe it is for there are programs one can listen. I am Maragret Mitchell that wrote a Civil War epic entitled 'Gone with the Wind' in the year of our Lord 1939. We are on the brink of another war to end all wars, and my book is one the shows how war affects the one's left at home to deal with the many challenges of just being able to survive. 'Gone with the Wind' is a story of a family The O'Hara's who believed in a system that seemed right for them, but not for society in general that had many right and wrong ideas of how to see 'others' as this guy Hitler that I keep hearing about in Germany.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

My son was so pleased when he went to a private school in the 6th grade as no one locked their lockers. He said, most didn't even close their lockers. He loved private school and I liked that he came out with a dislike of all the isms and spoke up about them.
Our school wasn’t so harsh and we had to carry our stuff all Dayi. Our bags. It was a pain. ♦️♦️♦️
