November 27 2012 11 pm cst 60 degrees

angry turtle.
 
Make this turtle picture as big as you can and decide if you see what I see on this ugly guy.  In addition to his enormourly long fingernails, is that a huge set of teeth that he is showing me?  Neil says that is his neck and his  mouth is  closed.  You decide.
 
speaking of ugly animals, this muscovy duck looks like he is wearing a Halloween mask, but tht is his unfortunate Phantom of the Opera face.
 
We went to Pendleton Park yesterday afternoon and there was almost no one there except these black blied whistling  ducks
and they flew away the minute we got there
so here is the parking area near the pond.  All handicap parking but Neil won't park there even tho there is not one other soul there except a few runners.
 
 
 
 
He parks here
 
 
 
After telling so much about football in the public schools, I want to give equal time to the valley's charter schools called Idea schools.  They are indepentaly managed public schools sothere is no tution.  The kids apply to go to school there and are chosen by lottery, not by ability.   They ignore phys Ed and Languages,  but they are dedicated  to having every graduate go to college.  Fine idea! 
The average teacher salary is $50,000.
 
You can see a Red Sox fan wherever you go.  Guess that is why they call it a Red Sox Nation.
 
 
 
 
Am having some trouble uploading pictures this week because  I have used up all my free space  so since it is nearly midnight , I guess I will have  to quit here and try to work out the  problems on the next blog.
