Thieves pulled the copper from the AC across the street a few years ago, as well as from a nearby house owned by a friend. They were apparently using "for rent" ads to look for vacant houses. I know another guy who bought a house in a somewhat blighted area who had the copper pulled from the HVAC system twice before he moved in.
There's also been a rash of thefts of semi trailers for scrap, and while the scrap dealers are supposed to get all the information from the sellers, that frequently doesn't happen.
This week, I gave four students zeros on written homework for plagiarism -- all of them had several sentences copied directly from the textbook. I'm puzzled as to why now -- I hadn't noticed any plagiarism before, and now four people all the same week?
note that they do have a hummus app which is actually pretty tasty.
Is there nothing that iPhones can't do?

Yep. I'm fine with them copying a theorem directly, but the assignment was to explain what the theorem meant, and they copied a few sentences from the explanation in the textbook. (Interestingly, they all chose different parts to copy, and only one of them picked a part that actually answered the question I'd asked.)
ita, he's less cute than he used to be, but that's the nature of aging. Remember when he was like this: [link] I guess, though, I'm less cute too.
Though now he can carry things like baguettes which is handy. And when he's sweet with his sister (lori took that one) he's really sweet.

Oh man, with the numbers on their shirts, I totally got a Thing One and Thing Two vibe off that picture. SO cute.
Also, there is more cute to come. Ben is so sweetly funny at this age, he makes me want to smish him.
