The Blizzard of 2006



Maybe not quite a blizzard, but the snow on the deck was 7 inches this morning. It took me about an hour to shovel, then I took the kids to the park to go sledding.



The roads are fine. That didn't stop the county from closing the schools tomorrow and canceling the planned day off for President's Day next Monday. All those parents that might have been planning a 3 day weekend are now screwed. I really don't know how people put up with some faceless stranger deciding on their schedule for 75% of the year.

Nice pic. That's about how much snow we've had for most of the month. We are only supposed to get a couple inches when it gets here.

What's that white stuff on the ground? Do you think the palm trees around here would like it?

The scheduling issues are just one more (albeit minor) reason on my long list of why I would never hand any children of mine over to the public schools; I refuse to allow some pencil-necked Statist bureaucrat dweeb to jerk my schedule around.

You guys got it all wrong. See you're the ones who are screwed up. If you think public schools are bad then wait until you're children go to college and can't get accepted because of their grades. Its not their faught that you guys think you're doing the right thing by keeping them a home. hey its ok it just shows that you're an unstable person that needs the comfort of not only screwing up your life but your childrens lives too. Oh and by the way people in public schools don't let a "pencil-necked Statist bureaucrat dweeb" jerk with their schedules. We simply don't go to school the days we have something planned! DUH?
