I Just Want to Thank You Buna.....

 No, not sarcasm....

I know I bitch and belly-ache about the district, what's going on in the area.....And as someone once said, " Only you can say what the rest of us are thinking...." 

And I look at it this way, I literally grew up on the Jasper/Orange County border. I know, knew people on both sides of the line. 

We are coming into the summer, and well, the dog days of what is the school season. It should slow down, but in typical Buna ISD fashion, something will " blow-up" and give me something to write about in the school district. It always does. 

I look at the numbers of people reading the blog, and well, I am sometimes just shocked. 

And I am coming up on year 15 of writing the blog. 

It still surprises me from time to time of WHO reads this " rag" as they used to refer newspapers as back in the old days. 

We are also somewhat surprised at the number of people who reside in South Jasper County who've never heard of the blog, and then are shocked that this even exists. 

I know I am beating you over the head with this, but I really wish more of you would "like" the "rag." It's my only way of "payment" as this blog, well, I receive nothing for writing it. And I look at the numbers of people reading it, and they're coming from someplace.....Who ARE you?( And I know some of you reading just cannot allow the "powers that be" know you are reading The Govteach Part Deaux.....)

Also, I never know when a blog I write will " hit." 

Sometimes I will just KNOW this will be a winner, and well, no one reads it, then, I'll write one and think " I just wasted my time" and have huge "reads." ( I was reading an article that Hollywood has the same problem. They really never know what is going to be a hit in 2025.)

Love the articles, hate the articles, I do appreciate the readership. 

I am going to try and cut back on the number of blogs I publish this Summer, and as of  this morning, in this incarnation of the blog we are at Number 1301 articles written and published. That's in Part Deaux alone, not including the old blog. 

As always, I take every PM I receive seriously. And often, more than not think about your message, trying to think how I can write it and not get you in trouble. 

And.....please, keep the messages coming. I am always writing, looking for the the next blog. Or, I am in the process of writing, looking for one more "piece of the puzzle."

Never assume I have heard the story you would like to tell.... 

AND I NEVER REVEAL MY SOURCES.......NEVER....

Never AI generated......You should be able to tell that from the mistakes I make.....

Again, thank you. I do not think you know how much....
