Not yet. I'm hoping like crazy that the salt on the driveway will be able to keep up with the snow although it doesn't look too good for that right now.

Sorry for the double post here, but...

At least now isn't as bad as Kentucky got it, but I had to go out and push up the snow with the tractor.

In other news my report card came today. I made honors.

I'm being forced against my will to go. I'm being held there against my will. My right to free speech is impeded if not eliminated.

Pete:

Unfortunately the primary schools sometimes fall short in communicating that the 'rights' that are taught to you apply more towards those considered adults by the law.

And the schools also sometimes fall short in sorting out what constitutes being an adult in the eyes of the law.

For instance:
  • Criminal juvenile issues and the recent Connecticut change in applicable age versus offense.
  • Being an adult as it applies to getting married versus being an adult to enter an adult novelty store / establishment.
  • Being an adult to serve in the military and bear military issued arms versus being an adult to posses personal side arms as a civilian.

Then there is the flip side as to what constitutes children for instance:
  • My mother is in her 70's yet I'll always be her child (often referred to as adult children).
  • The reporting of victims of violence and destruction, depending on the motives of the statistician those children of violence can be as old as 21 to legitimately fall into their survey.

If I'm old enough to be tried as an adult I'm old enough to have the rights of one.

True story right there.

Bills are piling up and the city of New Haven isn't very good at paying their bills. That's why I told dad "Hey why don't we wait until we have another truck before we sell the one we already have." But NOOOOOOOO "We'll have another one in a week blablabla I'll do what I want blablabla"

Anyone who is going outside be VERY careful. It's quite slippery out there.
