Currently hiking up every damn hill we can find around here to get ready for this: http://www.philmontscoutranch.org/filestore/philmont/camping/2017itinerary/Map/map_2017_19.jpg

Cincy guys: We took a practice hike up the steps at Mt. Adams with 30 pound packs a couple of weeks ago. Stared out at the bottom as a Presbyterian, ended up as a full-on Catholic. Now I know why they stop and pray at each step on Good Friday.

glll with that.  Going back here  with my son's troop in about 3 weeks.  But my hip is killing me from doing one of those indoor trampoline parks with my kids a few weeks ago :bag:

Did this when I was 13 (before color photography made it to New Mexico) and again at 16, you can do it!

 
about to go into a presentation led by !@#!#!@$*&!

it's a teleconference.

him shouting in to the phone, laughing and trying to crack awful jokes & references for the next 30 minutes might be the death of me

 
every few weeks i volunteer at a local elementary school. read to kids, play games, do flash cards, etc. lots of kids from single parent homes, developmentally behind their peers, some kids living with their mom's boyfriend while she finishes her 9 month stretch in the hoosgow, that sorta thing.

kids and i go in the library. there are generally a few people in there but it's quiet. 

today there was a girl.. i think probably 5th grader.. walking down the totally empty (other than me and the kid i was walking with) hallway by herself. whatever. then a teacher with a walkie talkie appeared, fast walking.

then another

didn't think much of it. sat down in the library. 5th grade girl comes waltzing through with a panicked looking staffer, flush faced, wild eyed walking right behind her.

the librarian comes in and the staffer says, of the girl, "she is not in compliance today. she is not complying."

:oldunsure:

they all walk out doors at the other end of the room. i keep listening to the kid i'm with read his book.

5th grade girl goes trotting past the library windows, then in to the library again, with an older lady chasing her as fast as she can go.. they go past me.. to a door behind my table.. librarian comes running in the doors and together they SLAM the 5th grade girl against a set of doors and start yelling "SHE'S NOT COMPLYING! SHE'S RESISTING!" :oldunsure:

girl was not making any noise. not being loud. not threatening that i saw. she's not particularly out-sized. just a regular looking kid trying to get attention by not obeying the teacher today.

as i got up to hustle out the door before things got weirder (taking the little guy with me) a 3rd staffer comes in on  walkie-talkie and says "initiate a lockdown of the school. (girl) is not complying. she is a threat. initiate lockdown and call the police. we need the police."

:oldunsure:

i never heard any screaming. no yelling. no threatening. no noise of any kind outside the staff talking/yelling. just this girl wandering the halls and then getting creamed in to a set of doors by some 50 something year old lady and a middle aged librarian that looked ####### coked out of their minds with panic.

part of me wonders if i should call the principal and part of me wonders what the 5th grade girl might have done.

:(

That seems excessively odd.

it was weird, alright. 

didn't see what led up to all the shenanigans before i left so maybe there was a weapon or something. doubtful. the staff just looked like a couple stressed out ladies in over their heads who didn't know what to do.

 
I was just in the express line of a Publix grocery store. This old guy in front of me, about 130ish, paid for his 6 items with a check. Stores still take checks? Even in express lines?

Should have slammed her f-ing face in the door about 12 times.  

 
Serious answer:

She could have moderate-severe behavioral issues that are not overtly obvious.  Her being "non-compliant" could also be a precursor to more serious transgressions.  I've had students like that.

Hopefully, he didn't get his checkbook out until the cashier was completely done and asked for payment.  Then, god willing, he carefully and very slowly filled out and re-totaled his check register.  You don't want to lose control of that balance.

probably right

on my way out there was a 200+ kid gang fight on the steps of the school. probably not uncommon for one of them to get a little bent out of shape now & again.

Did you know almost every Publix (except some independently owned) pumps in the same exact music all day every day?  #mindblown
