I have to agree- these photographs are quite lovely!

I personally think that Emporia should court employers who would be attractive to recent graduates. Right now, ESU students, even those who are from Emporia, have absolutely no incentive to stay here- there are simply no jobs for them. Getting a young, college-educated population to put down roots could do wonders for this town.

Are they considering an option to get a high school diploma for those who already have a GED, or is this just for those who have never taken the GED test?

I wish he had at least talked to animal control before taking that action; I understand that he felt it was necessary, but a dumped dog is not an irredeemable dog. My sister has a lovely dog who had been dumped out in the country- when she found it, the dog was terrified, ragged, and starved, but she's turned into a treasured companion.
Also, it's unfortunately hard to tell the difference between an abandoned dog and a lost dog. I'm sure the man mentioned in the article would feel terrible if he found out that he'd shot someone's missing family pet.
But the bottom line is that taking stray animals is what the shelter is for. They have experience deciding whether an animal is adoptable or not.

We used to let our dogs ride in the bed of our truck for many years, until one of them jumped/fell out onto a gravel road and was injured. Now they ride in the cab with us.
It doesn't take much to secure your dog while you're travelling, and it can save a good dog. What if you're driving in town and get T-boned at an intersection? Do you think your dog's going to make it out okay unsecured in the back? It only takes one unforseen incident to get a good dog hurt, and I've heard way too many stories about dogs getting injured in unsecured truck beds.

We can make educated guesses, but in the end, we won't truly know how a candidate will perform until he or she is put up to the task- and, obviously, no one candidate can please everyone. I think all this vitriol is premature, and we must keep in mind that we will never have all the facts.
Some of my friends are die-hard conservatives, some are equally vehement liberals, and some are in the middle. The important thing is not our politics, but the fact that we all get along in the end.

Penny, the founding fathers certainly did intend for the 4th to be a boisterous, explosive celebration. On July 3, 1776, John Adams wrote to his wife about the 4th of July:
"It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. " Fireworks have certainly been a part of the 4th since then.
As far as "beer-laden" goes, the Founding fathers loved their beer. Washington brewed his own and made his own recipes, Jefferson brewed, and Adams had hard cider every morning.

That's heartbreaking. I remember loving those geese when I was a child, and I went to the zoo and drew them on Friday, feeling very fond of them. What a horrible thing to do.
