Dis n Dat

I haven’ t posted for a while. Been doing other things. To catch-up.

Went to Vegas to see the UH game. Game okay. Video poker not so good. I’m still here so mega-bucks didn’t hit. Plenty of Hawaii folks were at the cashier’s window after the game. Lose game, beat spread.

Flying now is pretty interesting. It’s kind of like the “Beverly Hillbillies” all the people with their carryon and food. Made me crave some crawdads and possum.

The HSTA has a contract and it seems once again they are trying to pass it on fear. Telling the teacher that if they refuse the contract the next step is a strike. But is it a good deal? Only if the governor restores the funding that was cut to the DOE. The cuts to education are steep. And general funding is lower this year. It is difficult to have a good school system without funds.

I am against this new contract only for the fact that the people hurt most by this are the students and new teachers.
