Drunk at Buna Schools?

 I was minding my own damn business this morning. 

I get up and talk to Jesus. Yes, I did some intercessory prayer on your behalf. Yes, I prayed for my forgiveness, never mind 5 minutes later I am going to sin. 

I then was looking at the new Subaru Outback 2026 at the NYC Car Show. Subaru had the big unveiling yesterday. And well, it's too much like the Forester. It's boxy, and as you well know, I like boxy vehicles, but Subaru has a boxy vehicle already. And this changes the Outback from a rare station wagon to just another SUV. ( Like we are about to buy a new car.)

Then, after a recent trip to the eye-doctor, I look at getting new eyeglasses. Perhaps rimless round ones, go even more nerdy?  

I put on stream Rage Against the Machine and Led Zeppelin through Bluetooth to the headphones.....

Only then do I check my phone and then Facebook......

My attention is called to an  arrest by a parent for being allegedly DWI near the school with a child under the age of 15 with them in the car......And the thing is, this is the former spouse of an elected local official. 

Again, let me reiterate, former. 

( Can be found with the Jasper County arrest reports. It's there with the cat from Vidor who stole the deer feeder.....That deer feeder is getting as much press as a capital crime, then again, steal mine, I'd be upset too....)

Now, I've been known to take a nip or two. Even when I was teaching I made it no secret I liked a little dram of Scotch whiskey.

That said, I am funny about drinking and driving. I won't even take mind altering prescription meds and drive.  

Folks, don't be coming up to school as we say here in East Texas, " Good and likkered up."   

Hell, I've had parents call my about midnight under the influence wanting to talk about their sorry-ass kid. And I say sorry-ass, the kid's sitting in Huntsville now. 

Hell, don't be driving drunk, or high or whatever....Especially with your kids in the car. 

And specifically, don't do it near the school?
