"Obviously you never negotiated a car deal with them."
 
I bartered with them over carpets and furniture while we were over there. It was fun to haggle. Perhaps I should have been a car salesman. Good grief!!! What did I just say?!!! I've been out in the heat too long today.

A 1928 high school building?! Poor children. Your state legislators and your local school board should be burned at the stake.
 
To stay on topic: I hope your school buses aren't more than ten years old. The least that they can do is get them to and from school safely.

We are trying this new thing in our schools called air conditioning. Seems to work pretty well, regardless if it is a standard 105 degree day in August outside it is still nice and cool inside.
 
Do all the kids in TN go to school in August or just the ones that weren't paying attention from September through May?
 
We here in the Burgh area are due for a return to normal temp. (low to mid 80's) by the end of tomorrow. We've had low to mid 90's for 4 days now. Today while coming home on the PA Turnpike my car outside thermometer said 95 while cruising at 70 MPH. When I was stopped in traffic about a mile from home it read 98 but that was radiated heat from the road, my car and other cars but still that is what it was to the joggers going by. Now those people are nuts.

Ha many of the school buildings in this area are of that era or slightly newer. Where I went to Middle school in Virginia was the old black high school when Virginia schools were still segregated. I think it was built in the 30s and it showed.

Yeah but in the south schools shut down when you get an inch of snow.

"I'll take 58 degrees and rain over extreme heat any time!"
 
I absolutely agree.
 
Then there's the fact that the desert or other southern areas with hellish summer weather routinely get to deal with it when the days are longest.
 
Up north, the bad weather is accompanied by short days. In the summer, while there are rainy and/or humid days, many are very pleasant. . .and long.
 
You'll not be surprised to hear that the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce doesn't ask me for comments.

I went outside and was actually cold this evening. A cool front went through to the north and it's down to 75. It's been 90s here today and was in 90s down in JoelCountry for an extended weekend.
 
We drove a car to get there and back.
 
Was Lamar Alexander the Secretary of Education Bush brought from Texas. That one had done a wonderful job increasing the dropout rate in the county schools so GW brought him to Washington. Trouble was the computer system for the county schools was having the data altered to make it LOOK like more were graduating. Don't you love how these types manage their resumes!

When I read this I said to myself this guy knows something about Minnesota. So I checked on you and I was right. You are now officially excused from making crazy comments here.
 
There is something wrong with a place that has 120 even 140 degree temperature swings. Its just gotta affect ya.
