    And pass it on to other folk.

    School Fees and Excessive Field trip Fees!!!
    Ok, I don’t know about other people and how the schools in their areas work but here is my pet peeve for my local school district:
    Registration Fee runs roughly $60-$70 per kid (I have 2)
    Technology Fee roughly $40-45
    Some classe have additional fee
    A list of supplies that includes, kleenex, aluminum foil, hand sanitizer, clorox wipes, ziplock baggies, several pkg’s of markers, around 200 pencils, ect… total for 2 kids around another $120-$150
    Then there are pictures, at the beginning of school with the standard photographer, runs 20-40 per kid, then pictures again (with a much nicer photographer)around March for 30-40 a kid
    Fieldtrips $6-$43!!!!!!! (and there are enough trips… trust me, the average is around $12)
    Now, I pay high rent (which covers the taxes the property has to pay for this area), taxes are fairly high in this area, among the things they cover is the public school. Now, with all that money…. why can’t they afford kleenex, and why to the kids have to take coach busses on field trips???
    I remember we took a school bus, and traveled up to 2+hrs and we survived!!!
    (Sorry, just got the slip on my sons $43 end of the year fieldtrip and the bill for the March photos…. over $100!!)

    Ohhhhhhh that would have been fun if the cache had stayed in its location… I will have to remember that one 😈

    I have done that a few times, given people a geocaching 101 when they get curious about my “suspicious activities” I have a guy in Butler that had a cache across the street from his house, the thought that all the recent activity was people looking to buy land… now he can be amused watching them struggle to find the cache 🙂 (it was a bit of a bugger!!)

    Is it odd that I look forward to cold and rainy weather to enjoy a park these days?

    Bong ticks are lazy in this weather. They prefer hot a humid over cold and wet. They are there, but they have not come out in force yet. The weather is supposed to be cool the rest of the week, so I’d guess there won’t be many ticks camping with you all this year. The recent frost may have helped a lot too.

    heehee… Bong ticks are lazy… I bet they still like cheetos though 😈 😆 (sorry, I couldn’t resist!!!)
