Although it's only one degree below freezing in Fort Worth, it's still colder in Texas than wherever you may be due to the singular inability of Texans to build houses which stay warm. Nothing has changed in that litany but there was a brief window of relative warmth and now it's returned to the general Winter status which mandates all should climb under the covers and wait.
Ed: is this a prelude to whining about your cold feet?
It wasn't since the status of the cold feets defies the laws of physics. There are three blankets on the couch so how is it even possible for cold feets to happen.
Ed: so this is just a feeble cop regarding lack of productivity?
Now you're getting some focus on your high-definition display.
Ed: where's anything at all about current events?
It's still Groundhog Day out there, matey, mates. It looks like they think if they do enough turns on the merry-go-round, the brass ring will suddenly return. Such a sad story ... but seriously repetitive.
Victoria Nuland who became famous as a non-woman who benefited hugely from political patronage is now dumped so she faces the same prospect as every failed politician from Washington.
Ed: a high-dollar sinecure at Goldman Sachs?
You know the system, Cynical Man.
There's just nothing much happening and the only response to much of any of it is 'what the fuck did you think would happen after running that ringer, Clinton?'
I did write the lyrics for a song on that theme but I won't pursue it since that would only add more radio noise to a situation in which no-one listens to anything but their own bloody-mindedness ... those who follow this noble forum are not included.
There was another about "Finally Know the Way" and you were even liking that one even when it's not just some lovey sellout. That merits some more thinking but the 'what the fuck' question wouldn't get answered anyway and we don't need to hear it after watching how Zuul slimed New York. (Ithaka: "Finally Know the Way")
I feel like they're my kids as well, you know. I've written multiple times of how I always voted in favor of school tax levies and, in my situation, that was about all I could do for the little rotters. I see them now and I know they're not stupid but there are many ignorant things they're saying.
Cadillac Man called last night and we touched a little on just how much history did he get out of high school since I didn't recall much foundation from it. There was only a survey of the 'pretty parts' of history in high school but not much of anything else. C.M. considered it further and said his opening / awareness came from university history but high school does at least get the credit for piquing his interest.
That review may not be germane to present-day teaching but, to all appearance, the foundation kids are given now may be even more shallow today than it was then.
There's no need to flog the general premise since all ask the same thing in how can we expect them to make good decisions when they don't have a good foundation to make them. Regrettably, that question still pends.
Ed: so it's really cold in Texas?
Cold like a frog's arse at the rodeo in January.
Ed: rodeo in January?
It's Texas, believe it.
Ed: why should a frog go to a rodeo anyway?
Why does anyone go when it's non-stop animal cruelty.
Ed: I thought there would be a punchline!
I'm tellin' you, mate. It's cold like a frog's arse.
