Back when we were in third or fourth grade some of Oakland school kids were bused to Emerson school.  I don't remember if it was just one grade or two.

Well we finally got some relief with the weather.  That 90 degree weather was crazy.

Hope everyone had a nice summer.

To the 'Time buffs'--At least we are still here talking about it.  No solution--just a friendly discussion.

Going back to the posting about Oakland School.  I was in Mrs. Warren's class.  The one thing I remember was my mother saying:  there is just too many kids in that class to learn anything.  Ha!  I think there was close to 50 kids in there.  And, thank you Suzi Denton for saying you were bused to Emerson in the 3rd or 4th grade.  I was sure if any one remembered that.  I was absolutely bused to Emerson.  The one thing I remember most, was I hated going down those fire escape shutes. Funny thing.  As. Progressed through life, I've probably been to at least 30 amusement parks all over the US, and rode every crazy ride I could.

Married?

A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower. 

At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.' 

'I have a better idea,' she replied, 'Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married.'

'Wow! That's a great idea!' he exclaimed.

'Good,' she replied, 'Get your own damn blanket!' 

After a moment of silence, he rolled over and farted.

This was sent to me by a great friend and my old golf partner with whom I share some opposing views.  I think it is something that may resonate well with my Raiders '64 classmates.

GREAT POSTING !!!

Sandy, thank you for this lesson. I have been writing quite a bit lately, and I have to say that grammar without proper puncuation can be totally misleading and misunderstood. Over the past couple of years I have had several letters published in the Chicago Tribune. Their editors made several changes that made me look smarter than what I wrote. Commas are over used and disrupt many of our well intentioned thoughts. I love the example you posted and, for the record, think the women got it right (write).

Dave L., you must be clairvoyant, because Bob Dylan, word for word, just said the same thing. May we all be able to exude the kindness you so correctly espouse.

Go Raiders!!!

Never cared for Dylyn's voice but man, what a songwriter!

Melvin (Mel) Theobald

Dave, you are right about Dylan's voice, which has only gotten worse over time. But how about that harmonica? As for his song writing, what musician has ever been awarded the Nobel Prize for his lyrics? I'll stop here for fear that I'll have a misplaced comma. Are you listening Sandy? You guys are fabulous.

Wendy Stephens (Cullen)

I like Dylan's voice.  Can't imagine it sounding different.  Think it suits his songs.
