The lunch lady at our kids’ school was fired after video of her surfaced threatening to call ICE on a custodian (coed.com). I don’t condone her actions, but she has two kids at the elementary school and I feel sorry for them. Somehow coed.com was first to the story and I haven’t seen any local coverage. The video of the embedded in the article has since been removed.

U2 opens their new tour today in Tulsa. A lot of folks with general admission tickets have been camping outside the venue for a few days. Apparently, those fans have a nice policy of keeping names in a notebook to reserve their spot and they rotate shifts on who has to stay and who gets to wander around town. I saw on Twitter yesterday that the band was nice enough greet them and provide pizza and drinks.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has a habit of giving tours of the basement of the Lincoln Memorial. Several pictures are included in this tweet:
@betsy_klein – There is a basement under the Lincoln Memorial & @SecretaryZinke gave a group of reporters & an unsuspecting 8th grade class a tour today. The Secretary is the only person who can give a tour here, & does so a couple times a wk. He was full of facts about the space. What a treat!
GQ – The Great High School Impostor – What Artur Samarin pulled off at a school in small-town Pennsylvania is one of the boldest hoaxes of our time.
I’ve referenced this before, but I often wonder how the news gets or chooses a picture a person who is profiled in a story. A lot of those pictures are terrible. And then I got to thinking, the most recent picture of me on social media or this blog is of me holding an axe, and that could possibly be used. There’s no telling what a person would infer about me if that’s the only photo they’ve seen of me.
I’m so glad I saw Avengers: Infinity War because spoilers of all varieties are dropping all over social media.
I may have mentioned this already, but recently BoyGeeding was walking in line behind his teacher and all the other students trailed far behind. His teacher looked down at him and said, “BoyGeeding, I just can’t save them, can, I?” And he replied, “Of course not, Ms. Teacher, only God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit can do that.”
I’ve been watching Amazon’s ‘All or Nothing: The Dallas Cowboys’ and those Jason Garrett motivational speeches get old. He’s a lot like President Trump in that he repeats himself a lot to drive home a point. I also think Zeke is being coddled too much. I knew he had a lot of “stuff” going on off the field, but oversleeping and not looking at your position coach when he’s talking to you is simply unprofessional.
The Last Slave – In 1931, Zora Neale Hurston sought to publish the story of Cudjo Lewis, the final slave-ship survivor. Instead it languished in a vault. Until now.
