Quiet Day

-
Due to extensive work on my husband's part (he really is a stubborn man), we finally have our riding lawn mower working. We spent most of the afternoon working to clear the foot-high lawn. It wasn't that bad this time - I had my husband and eldest daughter helping.

Here are two rally organizers (Mike Staunch, and Shemon Salam) trying to defend themselves, but they ended up being really offensive:

There is also a story posted on littlegreenfootballs about the rally.

THE OFFENSIVE GROUP, "ANTI-RACIST ACTION" (ARA), IS MADE UP MOSTLY OF NON-STUDENTS (MANY FROM NEIGHBORING DEARBORN), AND THE GROUP OPENLY CALLS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND AMERICA.

Christmas is the ONLY reason for the break - it comes at a bad time, just before the end of the semester.  It would make FAR more sense to delay the vacation for another week, give the tests, then adjourn for a between-semesters vacation. Won't happen.  Parents (most of them taxpayers and/or voters) would have the school boards roasted - like chestnuts - for daring to implement the sensible swi...
