Fantastic word game

One building, single room school houses seemed to turn out some academically and intellectually superior graduates than do some schools these days.
 
These days, in my hometown, we have middle schools comprising of ( I think) 5th through 8th graders but in my day, it was junior high school which was just the 7th and 8th graders.

Let's see: I went to nursery school; then kindergarten through 4th grade all in the same building (still today housing the same grades); then 5th and 6th grade in another school in town (not sure what grades they house today); then 7th and 8th grade (junior high school) in another building, which is the current middle school which will be torn down and replaced by the new building currently going up next door to it; then on to Catholic high school (not the town's public high school) for grades 9 through 12, also in same town; then on to college.
 
The 7th and 8th graders have been saving nickels, dimes and other lunch money for their trek to the October costume party.
 
The October costume party is always a barnburner, and in the last few years it's been getting harder and harder to find barns to burn, so we've turned to the FWG Props Department to build out the set this year, and since we don't have to travel this year, they built it right near the commuter lots.
 
The commuter lots are located on the other side of the campus from the employee lots.

Where I come from, the structure was: elementary - Pre K-6; junior high - 7-9; high school - 10-12; college - 13+. (Officially there really is a "13th grade" and everything above it, but you'd be hard-pressed to find people calling that in general conversation.)

In 1999 the junior high schools became "middle schools", moving grade 6 in and kicking 9 out into high school land. This was supposed to somehow relieve the congestion on all the schools in Evergreen School District (at least according to Mr.-then-superintendent Richard Melching, whose heart many PO'd tax-paying constituents would have lusted to drive many a stake through over the years, because he tended to think that everything on paper generally worked out as well in reality, but then again it's just money), or so they told us. In practise, while it did relieve the elementary schools somewhat, it did nothing for the junior high--erm, *middle* schools, and helped overcrowd the high schools more than they already were, and Mr. then-superintendent Melching lost himself some more credibility in the public's eyes.

Incidentally, I was in the very last class of students in the ESD to attend ninth grade in a junior high school (class of 2002.)
 
b]The employee lots[/b] offer free parking for all PowerWorld employees however vehicles not properly displaying valid parking permits will be towed at the owners expense.
 
Expense reports are due in to quad with your TPS Reports and I'm happy to see that unnecessary expenses have been cut way down since the new payroll/expense computer system was installed a little while back.
 
A little while back, my beginning clue was not properly formatted to display in bold print so I've issued myself a memo to be a little more diligent when it comes to such matters.
 
"It Never Rains In Southern California," Albert Hammond's best known song from 1972, docuemnted a starving actor who's down on his luck.
 
Some after death information would be nice to know about, but how many people have been there, done that?.
 
Page 2000 is just 28 pages away which means, at a hopeful average of 2 pages per day, we should reach that milestone in about 14 days on or around November 18th.


I've made a note of it on my calendar. We'll see how it goes.
 
Winter will be making a visit in Central CA today with the first storm with heavy rain and snow levels down to 4500 feet 20 miles from here in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

This will pass through tomorrow night and it will be back in the 80s by the weekend, temperature and music.
 
In the Sierra Nevada Mountains the weather's apparently going to get nasty, but a few states to the East, it's been nice and warm (mid-80s) but it has been a little windy the last couple days.

[size=8pt]According to NOAA, it's supposed to be 20% chance of showers on Tuesday. Assuming the Omaha WFO's as accurate as it is in Portland, I'll bet you a sack of chocolate coins that it'll be 80deg. and sunny.
 
It has been a little windy the last couple days in Wolcott, CT, hence the stacked bottles of water in front of the trap door at Illusions.
