Tom, from way back, Kat G and her wife are both part of LAUSD. I think the only other LA K-12 Buffista teachers here are Kat Perez and me, and we are both in private schools.

Ack, I hate when stuff like this happens: I just went to turn on the back porch light, and the back porch door had been open all day. Not just unlocked, but standing ajar. That's freaky.

Our house is so small, I would have heard if someone came in the back door. I didn't, so I assume all is well, unless we have the world's quietest trespasser. It's still freaky, though.

Here's what I mean by the Czech Skoda LT-38 being a cute little tank.

Now I know what you are thinking, if it's a Czech tank, why does it have German markings? After Germany annexed Czechoslovakia before WWII, they added the Czech LT-38 (even kept producing them) to their forces as the Panzer 38t and it made up a good portion of the tanks used in the invasions of Poland, France, and the USSR. The Germans didn't really have that impressive array of tanks for the invasion of France and those Czech tanks were pretty essential. Ironically, it was France breaking its alliance with Czechoslovakia which allowed the annexation to take place in the first place. Maybe they believed Hitler when he proclaimed that annexing the Sudentenland of Czechoslovakia would be the last territorial demand he had to make in Europe.

Eek, that is freaky Teppy!!

Yay Laura's team, though sad for the circumstances.

Shrift, your job is affected by British elections now? Goodness!

I had an awful headache all day but finally got rid of it. Not sure if the migraine meds took extra long to kick in or if it was the Sudafed or the extra Tylenol. But finally something worked.

Sorry about the headache, meara, but glad it's finally gone.

I've had a kinda terrible day, but I can't say why. It's annoying not being able to say what is going on.

Shrift, your job is affected by British elections now?

Yes, for reasons that do not need explaining at this juncture. France also is making my life interesting.

Gud and shrift, I am now making up wildly improbable stories about your jobs since you can't tell us what's going on. It's more entertaining than TV.

Now I want to know the wildly improbable stories!

Our latest drama is that it's raining a lot and we are waiting to find out if we will have to evacuate. Our house isn't in danger, but debris flow and possible mudslides are an issue since we're only a year out from the big fires in our canyon.

Maybe Gud is part of the British government. It could be possible. We don't know.

At this point in time I would say the exact same thing about Theresa May.
