Well to be fair, we never got to post-WWI history in any school I went to, and I only took pre-1750 European History in college. I kind of assumed 1) Hitler appealed to the majority of Germans 2) he won elections and 3) he would have at least had to pretended to have some redeeming qualities to achieve points 1 and 2. Turns out, no, on all fronts. Like it's one thing to say the right things, get elected, and then go full evil. But he was pretty straight forward about how awful he was going to be from the get go.White Wayne was this many years old when he learned that Hitler and the Nazis were bad people.
This is the issue, man. I moved around a lot as a kid and had American History like 3 times in 4 years. I swear we never made it to WWI.Good history teachers know how to pace. You gotta kill Lincoln by Christmas or you're screwed.

Sunburn? First of the year? It’s almost May. I’m an Indian already (feather not dot). Grow up and live somewhere where pool szn is life.The first sunburn of the year is in the books. Will be red for the next 3-5 days, tan for 2 hours, and then begin shedding. Good few days in Fairhope, nice little sleepy town.
Finished up an entire semester of teaching via zoom. It was fine. Prefer not to have to do that for an entire course again but in an occasional pinch I wouldnt mind it.

Are there any benefits to being a cop right now? Which companies are still offering LEO discounts?

This was written in 2014.Most days start the same -- behind the wheel of a white 1997 Dodge Caravan SE outfitted with a bubble-top Mark III conversion kit, a VHS player mounted to the roof inside and a r8hers personalized plate. Mark Davis pilots this machine from his East Bay home to the nearest P.F. Chang's, where he sits at the left end of the bar, same spot every time, puts his white fanny pack on the counter, orders an iced tea and unfolds the day's newspapers. Beside him on the bar, next to the papers, is his 2003 Nokia push-button phone with full texting capability. When someone calls and asks him where he is, he says, "I'm in my office," and sends a knowing nod to the bartenders. It gets 'em every time.
