I’m glad, Mac, that Elena was able to modify her diet and improve her condition. Much better than medical alternatives and doing it right by adding back some foods and seeing the results -- under her control rather than the medical industry.
At 4:30 this morning, one of my students sent me an email: “Have you graded my project?” After checking his curriculum for ungraded assignments and my emails for any discussions about alternate projects or re-doing work, my response was “What project is that?” I hope I get a response before the end of the day.
Mac -- that’s some good news. One of our assistant principals has been going through that same issue, but without as much luck as Elena.
I finished all five seasons of The Wire. The first three are quite good while the 4th is slower and quite sad for the most part. The fifth and last season, which is a few episodes shorter than normal, is probably the weakest but still watchable.
Takeaways? Some people can change, but most can’t. People as individuals or small groups can have codes of conduct and stay true to them, but organizations of any type or size are going to be corrupt. It’s interesting that twenty years ago when the series first aired, that several topics current today like fentanyl, the homeless, and automation destroying jobs were part of the series.
I give Simon credit as he’s definitely not conservative nor MAGA, but he spared no organization or race from exposure. Corrupt politicians -- mostly dems, newspapers fabricating stories, police brutality, police juking crime stats, failing schools and rigged test scores, union corruption (altho in a good cause), etc.. It’s a gritty look at an American city.
Good morning, GN.

Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!
