HuffPOOPO headline/story: "17 mummies found at burial site in Egypt *
Egypt's antiquities ministry dated the findings to the Late Period of Ancient
Egypt and the Greco-Roman period (332-395 A.D.) * Egypt is hoping recent
discoveries will brighten its image abroad and revive tourism, in the wake of
the revolution of 2011." -- "brighten its image and revive tourism"? Like right
after the Coptic Christian Church was bombed on Palm Sunday and the 21
Christians who were beheaded in an ISIS video in 2015? Yeah.. I'm going to rush
over there to see 17 1,700 year old munmmies. Now.. if Egypt had an exhibit of
the mutilated bodies of the ISIS leaders who ordered the bombings and
beheadings.. game changer.

Our Founding Fathers were smart.. they put Congress together with the people electing the House of Representatives, and each state's legislators appointing its Senators.. That way, electors from local state districts had the opportunity to name senior statesmen as Senators which may not have statewide recognition to win an election.

On Saturday, Chick fil A became dead to me... 30+ people were coming to our house for lunch to celebrate the arduous and determined journey of my middle daughter's college graduation Saturday morning.. Earlier in the week, orders were placed for a Saturday morning pick up for her favorite foods.. BBQ from Clearview, chicken salad from "Chicken Salad Chick", a cake from Pat-a-cake, sundry fruits/snack/chips, and of course, a large platter of chicken nuggets from Chick fil A.
On the day before, I went to Chick fil A on Bradley Park and ordered the centerpiece for her celebration.. Got great and attentive service from one of the assistant managers who took my order. He rang it up, I swiped my card, and he gave me the receipt showing it was to be picked up at 11:45 Saturday morning. As my bride and I were attending the graduation ceremony, a friend of my youngest daughter was recruited to pick this up. At 12:15, my bride got a panicky call from this young lady.. saying that Chick fil A did not have it ready and that it hadn't been paid for.. I immediately went down to Chick fil A to straighten out the mess.. by then, the manager had located the transaction and discovered something in their system had wrongfully processed the order and the debit was not completed when processed. It was not the same assistant as on Friday, but he set there holding firmly on his company policies justifying his position of not having the chicken platter ready on time. I thought to myself. this wasn't about a screw up on a single sandwich order, this was about screwing up a luncheon event, and in today's time of social media, he nor anyone else at Chick fil A had made an effort that morning to get in touch about their screw up. Now, I was still faced with the need of "chicken".. as I said earlier, 30+ people were coming to our house at 1:00, and it was 12:45.. I told the assistant I'd like to order .. he eagerly pounced on his machine like a robot to accommodate.. then it hit me.. this smug-smiling ASSistant had not once commiserated with my plight.. not once did he apologize.., especially knowing it was Chick fil A that had screwed up the order situation, nor for the current turmoil Chick fil A had caused. I just said, "never mind".. I had the nearby Zaxby's on the phone as I crossed the parking lot to my car.. I explained I needed a large platter as quick as I could get one.. gave'em my debit card number, drove the 5 minutes there, and 10 minutes later drove home with our main meal course. Zaxby's saved our day!
Now there's a bit of background I didn't mention above.. this was not the first time Chick fil A had done this, but I had forgiven them, and moved on because of Truett Cathy's commitment to Christ.. I had even stood outside at a Chick fil A (when Chick fil A was under attack by mainscream media for a comment Dan Cathy had made concerning Christian and family values) for nearly a hour to buy a meal on a hot August 1st when a movement was made to show appreciation for Chick fil A's commitment to Christian values. I imagine Truett Cathy was turning over in his grave Saturday morning.
Oh.. Chick fil A is lower on my "s*** list" than KaeperPRICK!

We need to go back to appointed school boards! One of the last years of such was in 1990 (elected school boards became "the law" in 1993 I believe) and the whole budget for 32,000 students was $54 Million (and the State of GA said $9,000,000 of that was paid to "UNNECESSARY" employees). Now our school budgets teeter up to and around $300 Million for 32,000 students and 20% more employees. In 1990, less than $1,700.00 was spent per child, now we spend more than $9,000.00 per child.. While some of the increases per child are due to inflation, most is due to waste, unfunded government mandates, and inept management., and that will not change as long as politics is involved in creating a school board which should have "an oversight" duty, rather than a "rubber stamp" one.
