The old Folly Beach chief of police is up here now.

What can you tell me about him? The individual members of the force are a bunch of nazis with "Warrior" mentality.

An american Oktober Fest tourist tried that a couple years ago with a fire extinguisher in the ER at my old stomping grounds. Went on a rampage and threatened everybody.

Police intervened and shot the American after he would not put the fire extinguisher down and was about to beat a police officer with it. They shot his leg. Because we are a civilized country. And also have socialist healthcare, so he also got surgery right then and there.

Then there was an investigation if the officer should have fired the shot at all.

Atheism is simply an absence of belief in a god or gods. There is no code, dogma, or specific ideology associated with it.

Every time a theist insists that atheism is a "religion" I'm afraid my head will just explode.

I remember all my elementary teachers, but my first grade teacher, Ms. Tangren, has the highest place in my childhood pantheon. I was an anxious little thing, like I’d been born with just not quite enough skin, and she seemed to get that and know how to help immediately. Whereas my Kindergarten teacher would send notes home about my being “too sensitive,” Ms. Tangren just worked around it. She’d ask me to stay behind for a few minutes at lunch or recess to do little chores in the classroom, and it wasn’t until years later that I realized she’d been carving out little moments of quiet during the day. Or she figured out I was far ahead in math, so she borrowed a textbook from another teacher and told me whenever we were doing math in class I could just pull that book out and work at my own pace. It was great for continuing to learn at my own pace, but more importantly it was another opportunity to tune out everything else and just be in my own little world with my multiplication tables.

When I was teaching choir I thought of her constantly.

I had a few professors who told students we could call them by their first names, but between growing up hearing my dad always addressed as “Professor” or “Doctor” and growing up in the South where most adults were still “Sir” or “Ma’am,” I absolutely could not bring myself to do it.

How odd, that Trump's trade deals all failed, did not put Chinese manufacturing plants in the Rust Belt, and actually lost more agricultural and manufacturing jobs in the last 4 years. Weird.I guess the next few generations will have to get jobs in the world technological and information age we are in now. Schooling seems to be a good place to learn stuffs.Learning how to learn may be helpful.
