USUALLY I WATCH THE 4AM NEWS TO FIND SOMETHING PARTICULARLY ANNOYING TO SET ME OFF ON A TIRADE IN THE DAILY DOGGIE.. THIS MORNING -- TEXAS-- ? FINALLY?   MAKING  "HOW TO BEHAVE AROUND POLICEMEN" A  REQUIRED COURSE..-- IT IS ABOUT TIME !!    ALTHO MY PARENTS GAVE ME THE LECTURE YEARS AGO AND I PASSED IT ON TO MY 2... DO WHAT THEY SAY AND ARGUE LATER... FOR THE MOST PART THEY ARE BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.   I WOULD ADD "PROBABLY MORE FIT"   EXCEPT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A SIMPLE MATTER TO REQUIRE A CERTAIN POLICE  FITNESS LEVEL WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH DISCRIMINATION  LAWS BY JUST NOT MANUFACTURING  ANY POLICE UNIFORMS THAT WOULD ACCOMODATE A HUGE BEER BELLY. TEXAS---  GOT ME GOING ON  WHAT SHOULD OUR SCHOOLS BE REQUIRED TO TEACH?  WHERE IS TEH LINE  -- READ WRITE AND RITHMATIC USED TO BE ENOUGH... LIFE SKILLS WERE FOR PARENTS TO  SOMEHOW GET IN A KID'S HEAD.....NOW SCHOOLS  ARE REQUIRED TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT POLICE AND WHICH  IS THE SALAD FORK?-- "THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOURS IN THE SCHOOL DAY FOR REQUIRED LEARNING"  SO NOW WE ARE ALL SET ABOUT SALAD FORKS AND THE KIDS CAN'T  ADD  2+2???? TEACHING....I CAN REMEMBER-------- 1954--- I HAD ONE TEACHER WHO WAS AN ALCOHOLIC- COMPLETE WITH NODDING OFF IN CLASS-- I WAS IN HIS LATIN CLASS-- I WAS TOLD TO TAKE LATIN  TO IMPROVE MY ABILITY TO LEARN  FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND SPELL BETTER... AHHHH  FINALLY---  MAYBE IF HE WASN'T A DRUNK, THE DAILY DOGGIE WOULD HAVE NO SPELLING ERRORS.?  ONE OF MY KIDS COMPLAINED ABOUT A TEACHER SLEEPING IN CLASS-SOUNDED FAMILIAR- SO I DID GO TO THE SUPERINTENDENT- WHO COMPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY  COULDN'T FIRE HER BECAUSE SHE HAD TENURE- I  ARGUED THAT SHE SHOUDL BE IN CHARGE OF THE LIBRARY AND NOT A CLASS OF COLLEGE PREP SCIENCE.   WHERE IS CREATIVITY WHEN YOU NEED IT? WHICH BRINGS  UP   A GREAT - AND AMUSING --TED LECTURE . Do schools kill creativity? by Ken Robinson was recommended by Jenny. **** FLYS--- HAS ANYONE INVESTIGAZTED TEH IQ OF A FLY? - WE HAVE FLYS RUSHING INTO THE HOUSE TO GET OUT OF THE ON COMEING WINTER- AND THEY SEEM TO KNOW THAT THE ONE AREA  IN THE HOUSE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A FLY SWATTER IS MY DESK and teh warmth of my monitor's screen. *** ON COMING WINTER--- I FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION OT SNOW PLOWING... I HOPE... THRU THE YEARS I HAVE TOWED AROUND 2X10'S WITH  HORSES- ...  TO TRYING TO ATTACH A PUSH PLOW TO THE BUCKET OF MY ( HEATED) TRRACTOR.  ALL VERY INADEQUATE  --"OH  YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN YOUR VEHICLE BY PLOWING WITH IT."  BULL !!!!  IT IS MY CAR.... I AM 81... HOW LONG DOES IT HAVE TO LAST??? AND WHY AM I CONCERNED WITH  THE FUTURE OWNER OF MY CAR???  *** SO TODAY'S FYI.... THERE IS A COMPANY - CURT- FRONT RECIEVER HITCHES-- THAT MAKES TEH  HITCH FOR TOWINg  THINGS LIKE HORSE TRAILERS---  NOW MAKES THE SAME  2" SQUARE  "HITCH" SO YOU CAN ATTACH A  SNOW PLOW QUICKLY AND EASILY--TO THE FRONT OF YOUR CAR... THE PLAN NOW IS TO BAck my car into the spot by the garage-- and i will have about a 10 foot run to the drivers door/ and heated car.. this shoudl be possible without spilling my cuppa coffee. **** Good afternoon Carlene!
