Last week, leaders at the Centner Academy, a Miami private school, sent teachers an email with a stark warning: Skip the coronavirus vaccines or else you’re not welcome in the classroom.

Yes that’s exactly where we have come, or someone is smarter than the experts, watched a YouTube video watched Fox News and made a decision that’s going to affect the lives of teachers and guess what students.

In the picture headline I put a picture of a pack of cigarettes. It is somewhat similar as a user decides to inhale and use cigarettes. For the most part it’s still different, Choice to smoke cigarettes really only theoretically harms the smoker. Of course there is the Issue of litter and secondhand smoke. And it’s not that simple either. Smokers live shorter lives and when they die the grief is passed on to those close to them. So another self-centered decision.

Then again it gets back to supply and demand and good old capitalism. A teacher can choose to work at such a school, parents can decide to take their kids to that school and that is the basis of many decisions in the United States. Of course it’s not that simple,as teachers need a job and they have the ability to make a choice in their lives Albeit with a financial undertone.

Then again, and I repeat, it’s not all black and white. Parents make decisions based on many many factors. I put in my tour of duty, as a parent and making those types of decisions. One attribute I never looked for in a school was stupidity, so we live in a country where parents and women have the freedom to choose.

That is until they don’t

Being a life long learner you can be a pleasant pain in the ass. The new adventure is to learn Spanish and that is going a lot better then learning German. For some reason it sticks to the brain a lot easier. And there in lies the problem, which is a good problem to have. That is the Translation that is going on in your brain. Where are you must translate from English to Spanish. When we eliminate that step it all becomes that much easier. The number of people like myself who have another translator in their CPU. There are many words and sentences or structure known in German and the brain takes a detour once in a while and transitions from English to German to Spanish to the spoken word. Which can be counterproductive.

Then we go to learning another new language. That new language being Python. In this case knowing other languages does help a lot. Computer languages have a lot of underlying similarities from one language to another so in most cases it makes the transition that much easier and in someways a lot less interesting. For many of us to joy is in learning a new language but, then again we introduce this little thing known as capitalism. Produce produce produce and get that language learned as quickly as possible. There is plenty of merit in that as in the long run we don’t want to learn a new language we just want code that does what we want it to do. But we all know there’s a lot of fun in mastering a new computer language. Despite, looming status reports and societies ever present pressure To produce. Somewhere under all of this there is pressure, or lack of pressure, To simply have fun while learning. And there’s a lot of privilege in that

Hopefully you have fun along the way

Good morning people, this is Bobo the weather cat reporting from high atop my perch overlooking the cul-de-sac. I have inherited the job of keeping bad weather from the cul-de-sac. Last year I failed miserably when A snowstorm over took the cul-de-sac I oversee. But I’m getting better. As for today:

From the photo above I hope it is apparent that today is going to be a rainy day. Take heed, and enjoy this little respite and appreciate the raindrops watering the earth. As for tomorrow, there shall be big fat robins looking for big fat worms just outside my window.

Thank you for listening to my podcast from high atop the cul-de-sac. The sun shall return one day.

Hi there, my name is Derek and I’m sitting in my jail cell. I just got convicted of a crime that I thought there was no way I would get convicted. There have been millions to have come before me and they got no punishment or prosecution.

I am the arrogant racist dumbass and I got caught. And it’s not fair, because I am white because I am a policeman because I am an arrogant dumb ass. They just brought me my food and I got rice and beans. What the fuck is that – that’s immigrant food. Next thing they’ll bring me black eyed pea’s. Fuck the system. I think I’ll take the pan and rattle it on the bars of my cell.

Life is not fair. Bang clang bang clang rattle

If I had to do it over again, the arrogant bastard but within me, would do it again. I just would not get fucking caught
