Did You Ever Hear The One About A Banana
Since I live in a Columbus, Ohio suburb I keep my eyes open for stories from the area that catch my eye.
It seems there's a middle school, Starling Middle School, to be exact on the south end of town that employs an art teacher who is deathly allergic to bananas. Students, faculty and visitors are greeted with a sign as they enter her classroom to keep all banana products out of this room.
Kids, being kids, decided to 'prank' the instructor. Eight or so of them got banana juice on their hands and spread it on the classroom door knob. Said instructor grabbed the door and had an immediate reaction. One epipen was administered but to no avail. Her throat began to close so another epipen was injected. Thankfully the teacher recovered.
According to the news the students could be charged with attempted murder.
One of the parents was interviewed(don't know if he/she was a parent of one of the kids)and said she realized teachers have a tough time. Now, I don't know what this has to do with anything but the parent then went on to state that some of the kids think the teachers don't like them. I'd say after this episode it might be 100% true.

One Of My Favorite Pictures
I snagged this photo from a web site titled, Ace of Spades. I like it a bunch. I don't know his/her name but the beauty of it's actions is thus. If a story doesn't fit it's liking it will throw verbal poo.
Pretty neat, huh?
Call Me Naive
I could never be a good thief because I'm not smart enough to get away with illegal activities. Most people aren't but I'd say there is a certain percentage who get away with a scam. It's sad to say I've been a victim a few times in my life
Yesterday I took my daughter and her three kids into Walker, Mn.(pop 970) for lunch. Afterwards we walked the streets, all three blocks looking in shop windows. One of these stores had kid trinkets so we stopped in. I bought my granddaughter a sweatshirt. I thought this type of clothing was sort of silly since she lives in Scottsdale, Az. where there temps average 2,000 degrees F.
Anyway, as I paid the bill I read a sign on the checkout counter reading: We do not accept American Express or checks. I inquired about the checks and the store owner explained. She stated, "There is one motel in town and the police captured a guy in his room who had a check making machine". Call me naive but I'd never considered such a scam. Of course, I still believe people would never do such a thing but, hey, what do I know?
I'm flabbergasted people, unless they are under the influence, would commit any type of crime. Everyone has a smart phone to take videos. Every corner has a camera to catch everyone's actions, good or bad.
The one advantage for me when crooks get caught is it makes me feel much better about myself. And that's a good thing.

Where Did The $$$ Go
"President Trump has given $16 billion in 2018 alone to Elijah Cummings' district in federal grants."
"My question to you guys is this: what are you actually doing with the money, asked the head of HUD, Lynne Patton.
