Online "Training"

Finally, they got the "registration" procedures shaped up so we could actually register. Why is Savannah Technical College always like Savannah Non-Technical College at its roots?

Two More Showings

My "former Bed and Breakfast" is being shown twice more in the next week -- out-of-town bed and breakfast buyers from the North!  Anything is possible -- but not likely.

There is a certain amount of work to be done on the property -- primarily on the Carriage House and all the vegetation engulfing the yard. I will do my best to keep up with it all and even get ahead of it, if at all possible.

If only I were ten years younger!  If only...

New Eduspeek Regulations

We now have to take training on sexual harassment called "HAVEN." If the website ever allows for our registration, that is.

Slowly, Very Slowly, the Summer Returns

If anyone thinks that there is no such thing as "global warming" -- then come to the South. We are still stunningly hot and humid -- but now, each year, the process begins earlier and settles in for a longer period of time.

Our temperatures and humidity are currently tolerable in Savannah, but every day brings a little more warmth, and with that warmth comes the "water content of the air -- the basic humidity." I has begun in earnest.

HB BC

You know who you are -- and you know what day it is!  Enjoy it.

2016 Politics in the United States --The New Reality

Over the past few Presidential cycles we have seen some strange things happening -- the first black candidate for President, the first female candidate for President, the first business "mogul" running for President!  We have seen "political decorum" die a horrible death; personal attacks have become normal; social media has replaced the news cycle; and candidates now use "logical fallacies" as if they were true.  Making the "media bite" on a lie or a half-truth controls the argument!

Perhaps this all stems back to the use of "the big lie" (West Virginia ministers told by GOP officials that Obama would burn all their Bibles back in 2008); Obama was actually not a US citizen (Nigeria being his true birthplace no matter what his birth certificate said -- Hawaii); Sarah Palin is smart enough to take over for John McCain should be become incapacitated as President!

What are the oncoming elements of this "campaign for nothingness" in 2016?  More senseless name-calling; base and real innuendos of sexual, moral, political, or other indiscretions; complete lack of realistic plans to solve problems? Will we just come down to the difference between "making American 'great' again" and "stronger together?" What is our fate from now until November -- and beyond?    

Confluences

So many many things happening at the same time. House things, school things, life things, work things. Lots of pressure to complete -- things. All carry a layer of stress with them.

This stress weighs on a person -- weighs them down so much that they cannot function without thinking, about the stress. About the STRESS!
