Yes.

I could not agree more.

Also on a bright note unrelated to the park my daughter and granddaughter got approved for a FEMA trailer today.

Small world, Mark is a friend of mine. I might know your dad.

You are J-Town's dad.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


Anyway, dad and I get our cars serviced at his place so that's how we're friend with him. He doesn't mind the crap I give him for being a kU fan so that makes him good in my book.

Furthermore, if my dad were a member here I'd stop post in because he'd probably call me up every time I said something about stuff he doesn't know I do. Like my Mexico post I the vacation thread last year, for example.

There's nothing about that card that isn't completely awful. Converted Mana Cost of 5 for an enchantment? Ugh. Cumulative Upkeep in tandem with a mana-intensive activated ability? Ugh. Ice Age block had mana fixing; a green deck could just splash white for spot removal instead of playing this dreck.

I know, the upkeep, mana cost, and life cost. Two out of the three would have been bad enough. I'm pretty sure this was a rare, I remember pulling at least one if not two of these from Alliances packs. :huh:

Its making progress on #2 but still a ways to go.

Nice video about the concept and remodel for the location for the Juniors and Seniors at Joplin High School.

I wanted to embed this video from Joplin High School, but couldn't figure how to do this one. Here's a link though.

I thought this was pretty cool.

I would have like to have been the guy selling those laptops. There is so much money being thrown around down there it's incredible. Putting TVs in a hotel like fitness center? To bad all shools can't have that. They're going to spend $20mil on the temporary classroom situation. Temporary.

From what I understand, the reason they are going with lap tops for all students is they can load electronic versions of the books they need for their classes.

That's much cheaper than replacing all of the curriculum books that were lost.
