My son's teacher (2nd grade) lives just down the street from me. We were hanging out in another neighbor's backyard with others a few nights ago, and she told me how they had been learning about bats in science. Habitat, different species, how they hunt, what they eat, etc.

She asked the class if anyone could name a predator of bats. My son's hand immediately went up, and when called on, he confidently replied, "Chinese people". Once she stopped laughing, she didn't quite know what to say, and he followed up with, "What? They're the ones that started this whole Covid thing!".

There are 2 main things that could make this so much better. Forget the cheap frames, forget if they're evenly spaced or centered, forget the terrible addition of the top gun photoshop which doesn't belong, forget that it's a trailer. None of those things matter. They are what they are.

First, fix that damn jersey, unfold it and just have it take up the whole shadow box.
Next, you can't ignore the seams in the wall panels as part of your composition. Work within that framework and arrange in more of a grid, and not an arch.

My kids had been asking for one for like a year and a half, and I was a hard no, mainly because I didn't want to constantly have to move it around for mowing and keeping the grass alive.

I also knew that with most of them, you end up having to replace the net, or springs fairly regularly, and I knew I wouldn't want to waste the money to fix something I never wanted in the first place.

wife was pushing just as hard as the kids to just get one..

I eventually caved, but went all in, and bought the biggest SpringFree model with interactive sensors, bluetooth tablet/game interface, with a 10 year warranty on the whole thing just so I wouldn't have to think about it.

So I went from being totally against having one, to buying the most expensive trampoline known to man.

The kids do love it though. :dunno:

....Is it the hood now?

my in-laws live on that street. They bought a flood house in 2016, and renovated it. It's not the nicest part of town, but I wouldn't go as far to call it hood........yet

gym shorts, sweatpants, and t-shirts probably don't need to be hung up. :rolleyes: :cheers:

So I heard about this website on the radio this morning, where "celebrities" of varying degrees of relevance are available to hire to send a personalized video message to you or someone of your choosing.

Curiosity got the best of me, so I opened it up just to see who all was on there. On the home page, I see Arden Key, for $40.

Don't see myself paying for something like this, but to each his own.

Just thought the rant might find it interesting.

How can a prospective student who lives out of state get TOPS?

---

This was back in 1999, but I went to high school in FL, but my dad lived in Louisiana. I still qualified for TOPS but had alternate academic requirements I had to meet in order to be eligible. (alternate meaning much easier) I had no GPA requirement, no required courses (physics, etc). I only had 2 requirements; to graduate high school, and score at least 3 points higher on the ACT than what the state average for Louisiana was for that year (was a 19).

As for legacy scholarships to get in-state tuition, I would guess that the majority of LSU grads that leave Louisiana go to Texas. Just get your kids set up to qualify for the Texas Tiger Scholarship program, and there you have it. LINK

Todd Kinchen's House on AirBnB

Marketing it as a special place for LSU fans traveling in for football games. He'll even provide transportation to and from game!

Kinda random, but figured somebody here might be interested.
