Well at least one of the four has a little experience that matters. Senators seldom make good Presidents, the exception being those that were Governors or heads of major enterprises. Even being a mayor is better experience for the VP than being a senator, history has taught us that quite well. I have not made up my mind as of yet, but these latest events are helpful.

Too bad they have to deal with the WL White on something like this. When I was a kid here, my dad took us to watch All Star Wrestling at the auditorium and getting in and out was a pain in the @ss. Parking and traffic is another issue. If this is a money-maker, maybe something just outside of town with good access and plenty of parking, plus get away from Emporia's blue laws.

AH! The lure of the forbidden fruit. It is not like they get a chance to learn to drink responsibly while growing up. My eldest son was a teenager in Italy, and he learned how to drink without any fanfare or hoopla. The younger ones will suffer prohibition until of legal age, then I plan to be around for that first legal drink to drink with them and ensure their safety, but 21 seems a little late to learn a social grace. If the laws recognized the ability of parents to teach responsibility then alcohol would be a lot less of an issue. The children of irresponsible parents are probably already drinking before 21 and therefore less likely to become a public spectacle. The Byzantines couldn't have done more.

No! It has to be all the Asahi they drink so much of. There are beer and coffee vending machines everywhere in the ginza, and they love junk food, too. I have very good friends in the Sasebo area and we visited each others chos often when my family lived there.

I take Graduate classes and thoroughly enjoy the experience, while my son is an Education major. I do think that having more majors to choose from might encourage enrollment.

Business as usual. Time overdue for new leadership at the Governor's office. Chases some businesses off and gives our tax dollars away. Yes sir thats us! We need some fresh ideas and new blood. How about some tourist attractions like Disney or Six Flags near Emporia?
