School Board gets Scorched, also New Jersey

No gym for two days and we're still sore. Overdoing it? We didn't go yesterday because the street was repaved and we were trapped for 18 hours. Brutal. Totally worth it, though. We took our bike out last night to test it. The new street, all smooth and black, is so luxurious. 

A scorcher yesterday through Sunday, with 95 + temps and high humidity. August in the Northeast is usually gross. We're heading down the shore in two weeks and we're really looking forward to it. Then Autumn and back to school.  A lot of folks up north say they wouldn't move to Florida or Arizona or something because they like the seasons, but to be honest we're getting sick of the cycle. Also, blizzards that dump 18 inches of snow on you. Baaa...we've been alone for 2 weeks and it's getting to us.

Another solid day of editing The Great Nuclear War of 1975, we're 2/3rds of the way through. Here's the novel: cabinet meetings, Matt's trek across the continent, the Brits, the Falklands adventure, one-off scenes. We are on the verge of over-editing. This has to be the last round. In The Weser, we are on the verge of completing the final battle. We admit to being tired, but on track. To quote MC Hammer, 'Turn this mother out.'

Yesterday we wrote about how Air Force turns something mundane like flying across an ocean into an adventure. The film also uses these flights to recall moments that in 1943 would have been fresh in the audience's mind. First, as the B-17 flight approaches Hawaii, the crew of the Mary Ann get strange radio chatter in a foreign language. At first they don't understand what's happening then it hits them like a thunderbolt. Gee, that sounds familiar, doesn't it guys? Then on the flight from Hawaii to Wake, the crew listens in on President Roosevelt's war message to congress. It's chilling. Well done, Howard Hawkes. 

Here's footage of angry parents confronting the Williamson County school board and pro-mask doctors in Franklin Tennessee. This is an effective tactic. Mobs work. Just ask BLM/Antifa. Clay Travis also spoke at the board meeting talking about facts. Ben Shapiro likes to say that facts don't care about your feelings. The inverse is also true. The mask mandate passed. Travis later when on Tucker and had some interesting thoughts. He pointed out that the burden of virtual learning fell on moms. That's right. In this case, I'm mom, and I had to think of ways to keep the kids learning and beyond that, keep them busy. Spring of 2020 was the hardest I've parented since I did stay at home dad duty with the first born. Travis is optimistic.
