I admit to becoming quite bored with this freezing portent to Spring. My joints are fighting with one another to see who wants to ache the most. Take care if you go outside, You can STILL get frostbite in this stuff.
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us more COLD (big surprise there, huh?) with mostly sunny skies (for all the good that's gonna do). Temps will top out around 25 degrees, and I hear there's snow coming late Thursday (...great...).
*** First out of the deep freeze is our WHO SAID THAT? quote for the week:
This should be something that's always in the back of your mind whenever something comes our way, whether it's found in technology, marketing, branding, news...you name it.
So, who said that? The answer at the top of tomorrow's post.
Meanwhile, back at DeWitt Clinton High School in NYC...
*** Next, time for our "What the hell happens today, Bob?" feature:
MARCH 6 -
---It's Ash Wednesday
 |
| "...Groovy..." |
---It's National Dentist's Day
---It's National Dress Day
---It's National Frozen Food Day
---It's National Oreo Cookie Day
---It's National White Chocolate Cheesecake Day
*** Next up , a training accident sends 2 FWPD officers to hospital. Here's the story:
https://wpta21.com/news/2019/03/05/accidental-shooting-during-training-exercise-leaves-officer-seriously-wounded/
Can't wait to see what the investigation uncovers.
*** Next, police have a suspect in custody regarding the Hanna St shooting of Trevon L. Giddens (19) the other day.
https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/19-year-old-arrested-in-connection-to-weisser-park-shooting/1827203938
Rogan is considered a suspect in a shooting at the 3200 block of South Hanna Street around 8 p.m. Monday.))
Got that smug-ass face going on...as most of them usually do.
Looks like a career criminal in the making here.
*** Next up, I found this unexpectedly, and wanted to pass it along:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/40-drinks-you-should-never-drink-after-40/ss-BBU4P47?ocid=spartanntp
Drinks I should NOT take after the age of 40?
Are you effin KIDDING ME?
Granted, there are some on the list I wouldn't partake of anyway, but there are a lot on the list I find all but necessary to maintain my sanity...lol.
See how many you like (or hate).
*** Next, if it's not the city, it's the county, right?
https://wpta21.com/news/top-stories/2019/03/05/county-commissioners-look-at-adjusting-tax-rate-to-pay-for-bridges/
 |
| "ouch!" |
(didn't even know we had a "bridge tax"? Who the hell dreamed this up?)
Funny, never paid a TOLL going over any (yet).
*** Next up, King Kong Bundy dies...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_Bundy
He was 61 years old and no cause of death was mentioned.
*** Next, let's stop by our very own "Kitten Corner"..
 |
| "You know I'm cute." |
It means they were fairly well-behaved, spent a good amount of time playing with various toys, napping a good part of the day away, and enjoying their meals when they woke up.
 |
| "Yes, this is the life!" |
*** Next up, time for us to check in with "Midnight and Whiskers"...
 |
| "At least the food isn't frozen." |
But he made breakfast and dinner.
Whiskers was in the shelter again, when not out having a meal.
 |
| "Make the cold go away!" |
And, they even rubbed noses, which means "all is forgiven" from the prior butt-sniff/head smack the other day.
See, we CAN all get along.
*** Last back to the tundra...I like to remember the good things from my past.
But, it's the pictures I find interesting, because if nothing else, the eyes of my classmates exude something we ALL should keep with us...HOPE.
Nowadays, I bet I'd be hard pressed to find that in any yearbook.
Many students have been through the court system before they even get out of high school. We're not talking a "trip to the office" type of stuff, either.
We're talking properly ARRESTED...!
http://www.allgov.com/news/controversies/iowa-newspapers-choice-of-photos-for-burglary-suspects-mug-shots-of-blacks-yearbook-photos-of-whites-150406?news=856155
Wonder if that means they use their MUG SHOTS for the yearbook? LOL!(well some DO and others do not...probably because the ones WITH mug shots have PRIORS, while the others DON'T...'ya think?
I suppose I shouldn't make light of this, but it's a sad commentary about our youth in general.
What are we doing now that we didn't do back when I attended and such problems were a LOT fewer (if non-existent) in our schools?
I do know when we were in school our heads were NOT filled with mush of any kind...we had too many facts, figures and sundry other historical and scientific stuff to know. There was little to no time for nonsense.
I still maintain we were better off when it came to the teaching of our youth BEFORE Jimmy Carter allowed the creation of the Dept. of Education. That seemed to kick the snowball down the proverbial mountain.

| "Uh-Oh" |
Somehow, that's not as reassuring as others would like us to believe, is it?
Stay SAFE out there, America.

As always, a good post.
When I was teaching, it was a school where I call teaching as being "in the trenches." It was in a high Mexican gang area, and sometimes I could almost see prison numbers. I think about those 4th gr. boys and wonder what is happening in their lives. Praying for them is all I can do.
After that I taught in a diverse community.
Nat'l Dentist Day. Ironically I had just made an appt to see my new dr.
Susan:
---After all the years of blogging (since 2006), I think I might be getting it right (most of the time)...heh.
---Wifey also noticed that in her teaching years. Then again, we've gotten into the whole "busing the bad-asses" into good neighborhood schools, rather than keep them in their OWN neighborhood and hold them accountable with the same standards.
For some reason, that seems too harsh and insensitive.
It only brings good schools down. We need some more JOE CLARKS out there.
---Dentists are like hair dressers - once they get you in the door, you're a customer for LIFE...HA!
Thanks so much for stopping by today.
You stay safe out there.
Your opinions on winter are my own. I would like to get rid of this crap and give Scrappy some time outside he can enjoy before he passes...
Quote: That depends, I grew up around a church and Bible stories. That helps.
I do miss the ritual of days like Ash Wednesday.
Dress: Rejected. I did offer (sorta) to table dance for my partner on her birthday today...
Shoulda been more like frozen fool day...
Race baiters: As long as they get out from between me and that cheesecake...
Shooting: At least they didn't get hit like that guy from Ohio did last week, lol...
Rogan: One of "Rogan's zeroes", I surmise...
Drinks: Well, that was a pretty even split of "I wouldn't drink that in the middle of the fricking desert", "I can take or leave that one", and "screw you buddy, I'll drink one in the casket".
Bundy? I was a Bruiser Bedlam guy, I remember King Kong BRODY...
Close: Put the white boys in orange, too. Why do they deserve any respect?
Chris:
---"Your opinions are my own"...LMAO!
(gotta remember that one)
---Yes, it does. Remember that not EVERY quote featured here is from a saint (or pastor). This one might surprise you.
---But ASH (from "housewares") is always good to watch.
---Table dance, huh? Your talents are many ,my friend.
---Food, fool,...lotta "F" words to utilize here.
---You got THAT right. Love to find me one of those cheesecakes (or several).
---Really. Didn't know this was becoming a "competition".
---Definitely a ZERO...in anyone's book.
---ROFL...sounds like YOUR choices were very close to mine.
---Yeah, he might have been more of an "east coast": celeb in that ring.
---I know...they should have mug shots by now. That's "true" equality for 'ya.
(Iowa must be slow on the uptake)
Thanks for stopping on by to comment (and not freezing in the process).
Stay safe (and warm) up there, brother.
