What would the tax be on a pack of Maui Wowi?

It is a good Thursday. The weather is going to be good and class went well last night.

I took Emma in to get spade and to get her rabies shot. The surgery went well and I can pick her up this morning. I missed that little dog last night and this morning. Molly has been looking around the house for her.

Class was good last night. It is pretty much make or break time right now. The students that have attended and worked hard are in great shape, the ones who have missed a bunch of classes are pretty much doomed.

So I watched this show called, "The world without oil". It basically showed what would happen if all the oil in the world was gone. Long story short...we would be screwed! Gasoline is the least of the worries. It was a pretty good show.

I read online last night that California is going to vote in November to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Depending on the vote, I might have to start looking for little place in the great state of California.

Not much on the agenda for today and I like it that way. I want to enjoy the next two days of spring break. It has been very quiet around the office this week.

Ok, off to start.

My cold if fading but........

More good weather today. Weather is always has an impact on ones mood so the sun is a positive thing.

Drew had his first golf practice yesterday. They went to the driving range. He learned how to properly hold the club and was able to practice a smooth swing.

Jess has a track meet today at the University of Northern Iowa. This is maybe the most interesting meet of the year because it is the only time that the top runners from all classes will run against each other. In Jess' heat of the 400 there are 4 state champions that won the 400 in their classes last year.

In the 200 there are 2 state champs, her and a girl who set the state record last year.

There are a ton of teams and the meet takes forever. It starts at 11 this morning but she doesn't run until close to 5. I am going to head out around 11:30 or 12:00. Drew and Micky are riding up with me.

Class went well last night. I had the do computer based training the whole night. I had one student work until 9:30 to get caught up.

Emma is sitting on my shoulder, growling at nothing in particular.

Ok, off to start.

I like tea but am no fan of the tea party

Weather is good right now. We had snow over the weekend and that kind of sucked but it was really nice yesterday and going to be sunny and in the 50's today.

The health care bill passed last night. The US is on the path to universal health care. It is a big step in our nation's history. Maybe not the best bill but it is the framework that will allow us to get health care to all Americans.

It is Spring break here. The kids have practices this week but it should be pretty quiet. Jess has a track meet at UNI tomorrow.

Emma goes in to get spade and get her rabies shot on Wednesday. It always make me nervous to take the dogs in after the tragedy with Shelby.

I teach tonight and Wednesday night. DMACC was on Spring break last week but this week they are back in session. Kind of puts a damper on our Spring break but not that big of a deal.

Not much else.

Off to start.
