Seriously.
Some people are just stupid. This is from an AP article dated May 15. This happened in Springfield, a tiny little town on the eastern plains about 40 miles south of Lamar. Hot, flat and lots of Trump supporters and Q people.
Here's an excerpt - I'll put the link in but it is only worth reading for a couple additional chuckles:
An officer watched him maneuvering inside the car before he got out on the passenger side on Saturday night in Springfield, a town of about 1,300 people on the state’s Eastern Plains, police said in a Facebook post Sunday.

This is Teacher Appreciation Week, so...
I thought I would publicly acknowledge a few of the teachers who shaped my life.
Ms. Shep - who shepherded me through Kindergarten.
Ms. Howard, whose son was killed in Viet Nam c. 1966.
Mr. Akiyama, a true Nissai Regiment WWII war hero, and a humble, genuinely good fifth grade teacher.
Ms. O'Meara, who told me I should take AP English in high school, but I stupidly refused because my 'friends' were not in AP classes.
Mr. Stratton, who taught Latin and inspired me in many ways.
Mr. Guy, who told us about how anti-war demonstrators were treated (he was one).
Teachers take a lot of crap, you know? They are maligned, grossly underpaid, and probably want to vomit every time some person who wears his ignorance on his sleeve utters the tired old cliche, "Those who can..."
But you know, I had some real good ones. Bad ones too. But mostly good. Dedicated people who shaped me in those long ago years to become who I am now.
May all the teachers who go in, day after day, and give their life force to help young people along the way be warmly blessed and appreciated!
