A Few Stray Thoughts

Grading sucks.
See last post.
Failing students is the worse--
enough to make me want to quit.


Russell Crowe is an ass.
I hope he goes to prison for 7 years.
I bet he beats his wife.
If he did go to prison,
perhaps it would send a strong message to celebs:
"Don't hit people in the face with phones!"
Ass.
Boycott his films. I always do.


I can't imagine finding a leg, hip, and part of a spine
in my yard
fallen from some jet.
I adored the quote from the woman who did:
"But I am very glad that I live where I do,"
she said,
"so I don't have to run for my life
like this man probably was doing." [CNN]
She sounded very sympathetic
to stowaways.
People stuff themselves into luggage and everything else.
I remember a group of people who died
in a tomato truck--lack of ventilation.


Last night, on the drive home at 1:00am,
I thought of the 6 year old girl
who was killed
while trying to save a turtle from a busy highway.
I've stopped to save turtles before.
Her mother shouted for her to get back in the car,
but she just leaped out.
I've got to call a friend--
her little 5 year old is named Emily too
and would do the same . . .


Well, I suspect I will be glued to the PC today.
I released those grades in order to be more transparent.
I figure that I will get tons of angry email---

Will keep you posted.
