It's the 31st of July.. That can only mean one thing.. My little brothers birthday.. AND.. the worst part of his birthday for me.. BTS.. Back To School sales on things that are needed to go to school.. I hated this time of year.. Everybody walking around saying "are you ready for school to start?? " my answer was always a shrug of the shoulders and a nod of the head while I was thinking NO.. My little nephew hates school and I mean HATES IT.. I can identify with him.. My dislike of school was likely the same.. I had a strong dislike of school more because of the kids I was in there with.. They found out my dad was a teacher and from day one they got on me.. Why?? My dad made sure we didn't get preferential treatment.. and when he became the principal I could only think things were going to go from suck to worse.. But enough about my fun days in school.. I identify with my nephew but what he doesn't know is that his cousin was the same way.. She would be at the house here after transferring down here and saying why do we have five days, why not four.. Or even three.. Yep school gets old really fast.. For my nephew I am not sure why he has a strong dislike for school.. I think it might just be the idea of being there.. He has had a summer filled with watching minecraft videos on YouTube... Almost all day every day he has been down here.. Hopefully when they have their back to school show and tell stories his won't only be mincraft .. minecraft... minecraft.. I hope he did something else when he was home.. The greatest difference between the kids now and my era was.. We started to school on the Thursday before Labour Day.. That was a nice break.. For the nephew he starts on the 13th.. OUCH.. But everyone start relatively about the same time..
They still haven't said when the next school bond issue will be on the ballot.. I was talking to someone the other day about this and I told them they will have to finagle the ballot in someway.. Word it the opposite.. A vote no means yes. A vote Yes means maybe.. And a vote for maybe is a vote for takeout pizza next Thursday.. What that has to do with the school bond issue... who knows..
