    Describing government work

    Listing weekly accomplishments reminded me of back around 1978 when our new principal required all teachers to hand in their lesson plans every morning instead of weekly. I don't think he even read them. A friend of mine who taught music turned in: Monday - Chase the dog. Tuesday - Chase the...

    What gives the President power to create new government organizations?

    Post 34 is spot on. Fiduciary responsibility is outlined in the constitution of every state and begins with the mayor/council of the smallest of incorporated municipalities. Here is a good explanation of the reorganized USDS prepared by the Congressional Research Service. In a very real sense...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Not another person in sight. Caught and released a ton of fish. Kept some that would have questionable chances of surviving. It was a little windy as you can see from the drifts that formed around my gear.

    Department of Education.. buh bye!!!

    This thread reminds me of when I was in my 3rd-4th year of teaching (around 1978) I asked an older teacher what made everyone an expert on teaching. He replied something to the effect that, "All professions pass through this one." I then asked him why critics of education were so emotional. He...

    Department of Education.. buh bye!!!

    I taught in a small secondary school in rural Wyoming for 30 years. I started out teaching traditional industrial arts (woods, metals, and drafting), and then I migrated to informational technologies. I never did have any use for the DOE at the federal level (other than vocational grant money)...

    Daily Distraction

    My head must not be wired right. The first thing I thought of was the irony of a mushroom cloud behind Heart Mountain. For those of you who don't know, Heart Mountain was a WWII "relocation" area for Japanese Americans.

    Daily Distraction

    It's been so cold here that I haven't even gone ice fishing. So, I drove 90 miles from home, uphill all the way, to a nice little lake to get away from the inversion. It was -17 F when I left my house at 6:00 am. When I left the lake at 2:00 pm it was 49 F. Two hours later I was back home to a...

    45 vs 355 For Pit Bull Defense

    I live in a tiny town of 500 people smack dab in the middle of Wyoming. Several years ago, someone dumped three dogs on their way through town, including pits. The dogs were running at large so the town cop went to do a dog round up. The dogs got snotty with him, so he did the right thing. He...

    A 3rd world nation for certain now

    I spent 30 summers making a metric shit ton of money on large scale campaign wildland fires mostly Type 1 and Type 2 fires. I worked all over the ICS map, Operations, Logistics, Safety, and Planning. I avoided Finance other than to not piss them off. Great memories. I also spent 30 years in the...
