OT - No Child Left Behind

Apparently the only person in the school at the time was the custodian, who was fortunately unhurt. I would pay *big* money to hear the discussions that will happen at the review board for this incident. I think somebody ought to buy that F16 driver an inexpensive GPS unit. If he's still in the service, the practical jokes this poor man will have to endure will be remarkable.

You are a sick twisted person Ed, I think I like that about you

Thank you, thank you. It's the result of years of hard work, writing advertising headlines.

I thought you was just having a good time until I watched the 10:00 news. Sigh!

I think it's that little button on the stick that does that. One would think they would review that operation of all the subsystems before they let somebody drive one of those things around.

So did the families

"But Joanne Wilson dismissed the accident as an unavoidable side effect of a strong national defense.

"We're a military family," she said. "Accidents happen, but we need these pilots. They're protecting our nation." "

Having looked at my high school through a missile sight, I can say that it is simply part of the healing process.

A good point. There's a certain middle school in NJ that deserves a similar fate. Too bad it's been decomissioned - I think they had to perform an ritual act of purification on the grounds.

Sounds to me like the reported incident wasn't exactly a non-incident. How much more serious would it have to be? Only good fortune avoided a death in this instance from all appearances. At least in the west they have open desert country in which to do their practicing. Still, in Utah, in the

60's, several thousand sheep were killed by nerve gas. Government denied any responsibility until the mid 90's. I have to assume that their posture was that the sheep were simply tired of living and committed suicide.

I was surprised they were still using those ranges along the shore. There were entire beaches used for naval gunnery practice when I was a little kid, but I thought they were only using a few practice ranges 'way out in the Pine Barrens these days. 'Guess not.

I suppose that Utah can get pretty boring to a sheep.

Ed Huntress

Can't speak for the sheep, but it was enough for us to move away.
