Man, the computer has decided to play Jimi Hendrix this morning....Fred looked over and closed his eyes like, " Man, that's pretty cool...."
Graduation is tomorrow night. I am going to assume it is going to be tomorrow evening in the activity center or whatever it is called now instead of the football stadium. Not going to lie, with a 70% rain chance on Friday.......
I hope for all concerned it isn't that long. I know when Tandy and I were doing it, we kept it under an hour. I know my nephew said that Fort Stockton High had their graduation last week and the graduation ceremony was right at 2 and 1/2 hours and the school really isn't that much larger than Buna.
Last May, we went to a fancy Northeastern school graduation with a 5% acceptance rate, they got done in about an hour. They even had a Chinese guy playing the pipes.( That's bagpipes for you non-Scotsmen.) And the Vidorian came out in me and I told my wife, " I wonder if Andrew Carnegie is rolling over in his grave?" I really got into trouble when I said out loud in front of the auditorium which is a memorial to Civil War vets with Union soldier statutes in the front.....I said, " I wonder if that Yankee sumofabitch shot at one of my great-great grandfathers. "
I got dirty looks and was told to be quiet......
If you have a kid graduating, tell them enjoy right now. seniors often do not understand how much their world is about to change.
-Stay dry, it is raining it looks like SE Texas for the next week. I know we forget, but this is a wet part of the world from time to time.
-- Time to time, I wonder what historians will say about this time period 250 years from now....Then again, won't be any of us around to know. And ai will probably write it.
Then again in 250 years, will anyone even care?
- I know today is the last official day.
Enjoy summer folks. I have a bad feeling when school starts back in August, we will be looking at a different world, at least economically. The reserves are keeping oil, right now, from jumping up to $150. to 200......I know I have spoken to someone already talking about cutting back on a vacation/ Maybe go to Padre Island and call it even.
