There is a road where once we walked,
Quiet and still on a summer day.
Oh, the magic of being alone with you,
Close as the wild rose by the way.
Silent, for we never needed words,
Clasping hands, we walked content.
God gave us the gift of that golden hour.
Time flew on wings and it soon was spent.

Of course they don’t, and never do, want to solve the problem they created.
Booker T. Washington has a quote about this very phenomenon.
Their livelihood depends on them being able to all point out how bad things are, and Vote For Us and we’ll make things better. If they actually did make things better, they wouldn’t have a livelihood any more. So they make things worse, so they can point out how bad things are even more, and get even more votes for caring about how bad things are. I mean really caring. Wearing color-du jour-ribbons caring.

For some reason the State and ‘state’ actors don’t really want to protect schools. Remember the 2004 Beslan school siege in Russia? I know ranking local cops who were hot to implement precautions but Fed and local school actors were markedly disinterested – almost roadblocks.
NOLA school board was so slow in dealing with thugs shooting up the schools some of us thought they were getting paid by the thugs. Of course part of it may have been that the violence was almost totally black on whomever so there was a lack of desire to point a finger. Sent all of my kids back out west…at least I knew they’d be alive at the end of any given school day.

We have a few here, one on the back farm road I take west. I’m using sawtooth oaks on the east-west part of the drive as they’re quicker growers. Problem is that the oaks line the roads, power companies put their poles near the road and butcher the **** out of the trees so that they look lopsided and otherwise misshapen on the side of the road the poles are on. Matter of fact the butchers are out here now scalping trees around the spread.
Tried to get the power company to bury the lines but they have too much invested in the maintenance process and, while they are burying them in the cities, we ain’t on the radar out here.

I haven’t stopped in here for a long while. After reading the poetry and song lyrics posted here by Stella in recent days, I feel inspired to join in with couple of related posts.
HOME AND LOVE
Just Home and Love! the words are small
Four little letters unto each;
And yet you will not find in all
The wide and gracious range of speech
Two more so tenderly complete:
When angels talk in Heaven above,
I’m sure they have no words more sweet
Than Home and Love.
Just Home and Love! it’s hard to guess
Which of the two were best to gain;
Home without Love is bitterness;
Love without Home is often pain.
No! each alone will seldom do;
Somehow they travel hand and glove:
If you win one you must have two,
Both Home and Love.
And if you’ve both, well then I’m sure
You ought to sing the whole day long;
It doesn’t matter if you’re poor
With these to make divine your song.
And so I praisefully repeat,
When angels talk in Heaven above,
There are no words more simply sweet
Than Home and Love.

The Breakfast Brawl
by Richard Thomas
A most unlikely, mismatched pair
For forty years did breakfast share.
Their names were Stretch, at eight feet tall,
And Squat, built like a bowling ball.
Because of their unique physiques,
By people they were labeled freaks.
Though of each other less than fond,
They formed a necessary bond.
Rejected by society,
Their morning meal soon came to be
A welcome rite for lonely lives
Bereft of children, friends, and wives.
As company they filled a need,
But often griped and disagreed.
For common interests had they few
And discontentment slowly grew.
Unknown is how it came about,
But then one day a fight broke out.
Their broken dishes on the floor,
The aging duo went to war.
“I’ll squash you like a bug,” roared Stretch.
“I’m sick of you, you little lech!”
“I’ll cut you down to size,” screeched Squat.
“You’re dumb and dull, you snotty sot!”
Then Squat did run and taunt and bite
And throw at Stretch with all his might.
And Stretch did kick and curse and swat,
Determined to demolish Squat.
Avoiding Squat’s erratic throws,
Stretch swung but missed the midget’s nose.
Attempting to stomp Squat in vain,
He felt severe arthritic pain.
While dodging Stretch’s errant blows,
Squat tried to crush the giant’s toes.
And speeding to bite Stretch’s knees,
His asthma made him gasp and wheeze.
It was a most unseemly sight,
A feckless geriatric fight.
Before one minute had elapsed,
The spent combatants both collapsed.
When he arose and left, said Stretch,
“Tomorrow doughnuts I will fetch.”
Departing, too, responded Squat,
“And I’ll prepare the coffee pot.”

The one which closed opened under new mgt last week & has been incredibly busy ever since. We haven’t been in yet, still patronizing the old one since they have our favorite milk products, and the new one doesn’t have no-ethanol gas for our machines.

Facebook Destroys Massive Pro-Trump Group; Deplorables Under Attack
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/facebook-destroys-massive-pro-trump-group-deplorables-attack/
Early Saturday morning, group administrator Dan Schwartz pinned an announcement on the Deplorables page that reads: “DO NOT POST, AS YOUR POST WILL NEVER BE SEEN.”
Schwartz explained: “The Deplorables group was essentially broken by Facebook now, for a variety of reasons. Essentially, we enabled post moderation because of the number of racist posts from trolls, who, even when we deleted the post and “member,” we could no longer block them, including several who we now know are Facebook Employees &/or Contractors. When we enabled post moderation, Facebook’s database crashed, and we cannot view your posts requiring Moderator approval; and worse, the Admin panel crashed, so we cannot even turn back off Moderation.
Essentially, FACEBOOK BROKE OUR GROUP.
We have had numerous technical “problems” since we topped a half-million Deplorables around Election Day; and they have grown only worse in the last 36 hours. We have REPEATEDLY made Facebook staff aware of the problems; but it appears since we “Deplorables” do not comport with Silicon Valley’s vision of America.”

I don’t know that I agree. Once upon a time, you could have good public schools. (I don’t doubt you’re right, though, that it was before the DOE.) But public schools were an American institution before the DOE came along. Look at the early prairie schools. But what you had back then was a focus on the basics a student would need: reading, writing, arithmetic (history lumped in as reading), and heavy-duty local involvement. You had parents, that, for the most part, expected that their children would go to school and would do well and learn these basic three R’s.
Today we spend more per student then most countries and yet for what we get, we’re not doing much better than some third world systems. Actually, that’s probably not fair to the Third World; I think most people in Third World nations have a better view of school, if they can afford to send their children to one, then most Americans do.

I think even after DOE there were some good public schools, but you still had teachers that cared and taught because it’s what they loved doing. Maybe if there was social media they would have been whiners, but you never heard them whining about not making enough money or how much they hated their students.
If parents just spent a little time reading many teachers’ social media accounts they would think twice about sending their kids to public school. Not only do many of them not know how to spell or write properly, they say how stupid their students are and whine constantly. I once would say they’re the minority, but I think they’re becoming the majority.
