No I won't.

My school doesn't make up snowdays.

Walingford public schools aren't having graduation until the 25th. Probably 26th now that there was another snowday.

They aren't allowed to go past June 30th.

I think I get out June 10th or something close to then.

How do they get away with not making up snow days??? In Massachusetts...elementary/secondary schools are required to attend the equivalent of 185 full days. Most districts will build in 5 snow days into the schedule. If they miss more than that...they go longer in the spring.

No state funding = no state mandates.

I go to private school. We just have to go long enough that we get through the curriculum that we need to do.

And we have to go like 165 days or something for the sports league our school is in.

For a small school (40 kids in the highschool) we have awesome sports teams.

That explains a lot!!! There are plenty of state mandates in MA...the vast majority of them unfunded...the cost is left up to the local taxpayers!!!

hey Pete, sorry to hear about the bid. I dont know the details as i havent been on in a while and theres not enough time to go back and check all the B/S, but im sure it sucks either way. atleast you didnt buy all the equipment and THEN get shut down. it happens to everybody. thats business.

we got hit pretty good. it started around 7:30 last night, and im guessin went all night and stopped around, idk, 7am ish. it just started snowin again bout a half hour ago. white gold fallin.
ive been havin so much fun powerslidin. (SAFELY)

last night on my way home, i passed a couple wrecks on the highway. somebody in a BMW put his car right on top of the wire guard rails. then i was talkin to somebody on the CB who saw a car spin out, richocet off another car, push that car into the guardrail, and the first car pinballed off both side guard rails and then TOOK OFF!!!!!!!! MORON!!! fleeing the scene. (shakes his head).

earlier, i dropped mom off at work, the went a drove around for a while. it was goin good till i plowed through a snow drift, came out the other side, and got stuck in the parking lot. when i opened my door it pushed snow away, so it was buried. thankfully, a gentleman in a FORD pickup came along and helped shovel me out. shows what kind of people drive FORDs.

funniest part of the day; btw, its a chevy hangin off the hook.

I like Chevy's on a hook..
That explains the quality Of Super Duty's...

I am going to be running mine soon for my Salary...

I just need a Goose neck reciever..

And a $4000 flat bed trailer
