D-League

Today was the first time I'd heard of it too. It's made right there in your backyard too, Louisville.
Off subject, kind of, but this is the best store bought chili powder.

I work at a high school and can tell you the format we are using right now. Under normal conditions, we have around 800 students total. Out of that rounded number of 800, we had students/parents select from three options:

1. Attend school in person
2. Attend school (i.e. be counted on the school roster) but do all assignments from home/correspondance with teacher via computer/email/zoom
3. Withdraw from the school roll and enter a full virtual diploma program, sponsored by the county/state.

We had about 440 of the 800 choose to attend in person school, while all others are at home/computer/zoom. Of those 440, they are divided in half with 220 in "group A" and the other 220 in Group B. The A group attends in person on Mondays/Thursdays while B attends on Tuesday/Friday; Wednesday is all kids at home, staff/faculty at school doing virtual, online lessons as the custodian staff cleans the building.

It's like a ghost town around here in a normally bustling high school setting. We are having high school football games, but capping the ticket sales/attendance at 30% capacity.
Well, my daughter came home and said that there were about half of the students there compared to last year. They wore mask all day, and cannot congregate between classes. They are allowed by all teachers only two bathroom breaks per semester, if they take more they have detention the next morning upon arrival at school until class time. What the heck is that all about. There were other rules now in place that were also harsh but, too many to list here now.

Good morning from ATX. Currently we're at 74°F with 55% humidity. Clear. Today's high is expected at 101°F and is our 39th day this summer to reach triple digits. We're also at 18 straight days in triple digits. Bah.

I've worked 40 hours in the last 3 days. That's a lot for an old guy, so my walking is very sporadic. Before Maddie (my boxer) died, I'd walk her a minimum of an hour a day. It was good for me and she loved it. A tired boxer is a good boxer. Anyhow, hope you are enjoying your walks.
Sorry to hear about your boxer. Yes, thanks, very much so. Walking keeps the weight down. I also find a little loose change during these little jaunts.

Wishing happiness and continuing good health to all our fellow D-League members.

Makes me want to go out and buy a bad car.
 
It is a cool 63.3°F and the sun is coming up over the trees to the east of me; supposed to get to 85.

Yesterday was a quiet day here. Only one person visited. I got a call from the old Judge Executive of the next county over. We set plans to get together soon. We will probably talk politics.

Good Thursday morning D League

And now for the weather report down here.. Currently we're at 74° with 95% humidity and sunny skies.. Our high should be 84° and we have a 50% chance of rain. It is typical weather coming out of the Gulf for this time of year.

Speaking of walking I will head out the door after my ham and eggs and get in a few laps as rehab continues ahead of schedule.

Trust all have a great day and Warrior brings home the biggest bass in Elgin, Oklahoma USA

That is one tough schedule. Probably the hardest in my lifetime. But I like our team
 
I prefer the "before" photo. Having traversed throughout the state from the Everglades to Pensacola and nearly everywhere in between, I'm convinced that much of the state of Florida was not meant to be built on with congested development.
Yes, I sure agree. Brickell Key is man made and is dredged up sand. The early developer of Miami was a Henry Flagler and he made the channel in the Miami River deeper and in the process the dredged up sand formed two islands. I have no idea if it is on bedrock or not but I would doubt it.

The elevation is 3' which means it wouldn't take much of a wave to flood over the seawall. Enviormentalist love to show water in the streets of Miami and blame it on the polar ice cap melting. A lot of people who have never been anywhere buy into that. But the truth is Miami and other parts of Florida were built in swamps and dredged up sand. That is a disaster waiting to happen and has nothing to do with rising water due to ice melting.
 
Good Friday morning

Today is garbage day so I need to get it out to the road. Meanwhile our temperature is 72° and clear. We had a little shower overnight and that was nice. We should make it to 88° this afternoon and all eyes will be on the Gulf the next few days as there is a little disturbance forming and heading that way.

So our board format changed overnight and it may take a little time for me to adjust. Trust the D-League participants have a nice day and stay safe. Black bears are roaming all over America

So far I don't like it. I guess I'll get use to it though.
 
I am not used to the new layout but I like some of the new options. But now a like is too simple. We now have to make harder decisions as to another expression. That is hard on an old man's mind.

It is sprinkling rain here but not up to .01" yet.

I hope all of you D-Leaguer are feeling good today. I was going to mow but the rain may stop me plans.

On ancestry, I am English, Scot, Irish, French, Swede, Dane, Russian, Austrian Jew, American Indian and Spanish. The dregs of the earth. My wife is as bad or I should say as good.
 
Good morning D, expecting rain here today. I tried posting a cartoon from the Far Side, please let me know if I need to take it back off, never done that before!

WC, I will never let the Bass know you are going fishing again!!

SC I see you are feeling better, don't over do it too soon!!!

Hope every D has a great day!

Spent 11 hours Wednesday helping put on a roof (most I have worked in one day in 10 years) then had to go to the Dermatologist yesterday, figured he would chew me out for being in the sun to long, but he gave me a good report, just had to freeze a few places.
