- Kofi Annan
In the USA, Public Schooling Value...
Students return...
In elementary schools across America, you will see Red, Brown, Yellow, Black and White students working and playing together and learning how to peacefully co-exist.
They will learn how to struggle together and how to successfully tackle problems which seemed insurmountable, but they will overcome these and mostly succeed.
It isn't schools which KNOCK this societal cooperation and problem solving out of them...
Morning Peeps,
Working again this morrow...
From Bill Press talking with Dr. Gardner who assessed in 2017 Trump was deteriorating...
How bad is it? Even worse than you think. “I am certain that if he is re-elected,” Gartner warns, “he will become cognitively incapacitated. There’s no way at the rate of deterioration t hat he’s showing that he can make it through four more years without falling off the cliff.”

ON this date in 1939 - The movie "Wizard of Oz" opened...
Bun Man and Mr. Purple starred as two of the 3 munchkins who were from the Lollipop Guild.
Apparently, years of sucking their way through all sorts of 'events' secured the role for them...
They still go to their guild meetings, held now at the VFW.
ON this date in 1995 - Security guards carried Courtney Love offstage after she began fighting with Hole fans because they weren't cheering loud enough during the last night of the Lollapalooza tour in Mountain View, CA.
She was actually despondent over being rebuked by both Bun Man and Mr. Purple, dual lead guitarists for the opening act, Breadpuppets.

ON this date in 1969 - After three days, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in New York came to an end.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple packed up their tent, got back into their VW mini-bus w/ the curtains on the window, stashed their stash, and then made their way back to DE...
Forever changed, and forever altered by those 3 days of music and love...especially the love part.
What, you thought the Boyz went there to hear music?
PLEEEZE...
ON this date in 1859 - A hot air balloon was used to carry mail for the first time.
John Wise left Lafayette, IN, for New York City with 100 letters.
He had to land after only 27 miles.
Explaining this to the Boyz, suddenly Bun turns to me and says "Little Johnnie should have known; those filled w/ hot air never travel very far..."
Mr. P said, "What about those Fox Radio pundits?"
Bun Man replied "Dudes, those fellas live off their own fumes..."
ON this date in 1982 - The U.S. Senate approved an immigration bill that granted permanent resident status to illegal aliens who had arrived in the United States before 1977.
Bun Man just whirled around and said "What?"
Mr. Purple clarified "Yes, apparently, We have history doing this, and guess what, this occurred when President Reagan was in office..."

PLANNING FOR A LOT MORE CLEANING AND JERKING
Ken-Dogger: Butkus, you're lookin' all security-like this AM, what gives?
Butkus: Heard they were snatchin' clearances from Righteous Americans...
KD: Yep, Undude at it again, distractions carry the day, don't ya just know it...
Butkus: Dude, tell the Undude to come closer, I'll show him what a clean and jerk feels like...
We, most of us anyway, love to be involved and included in activities...
Today is #caturday
As such, Tiger and I wanted to get into the spirit.
We might have gone overboard.
WHEN LOYALTY IS A COMMODITY
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Topper
Topper: Money, Money, Money…M-O-N-E-Y…
KD: You got to have it huh…
T: I do…The World goes round; money goes with it.
KD: If you want something to happen, follow the money.
T: That’s how we got loyalty in the first place, we bought it.
KD: Turns out when loyalty is a commodity, it goes to the highest bidder.
T: Seems the only way to win is to keep bidding then huh?
KD: It would appear so Topper…
