Basiic economics - law of supply and demand. Only 38 opening for kindergratners this year - guaranteed spots. Last year the first person to line up started exactly 1 week in advance of the open registration. This year, three mothers decided they were going to get their kids in come hell or high water and started camping 2 weeks in advance. Domino effect. they show up, everyone has to follow or risk losing a spot. Seems no one up here is very happy with #1 2 or 3, they came together and showed up early on Saturday.

We need to go pee on their tent in the middle of the night. I think I'll sneak out the three boxes of oreos she hid in her tent. She's an ugly sow anyway, coudl stand ot lose a little weight.

Good evening guys. I am real glad I don't have to camp out to get a kid into a school. Good luck.

Ok, I think I am all packed. Got all my dive gear, got clothes... Will load an ice chest with water and Coke Zero in the morning....

The motel is supposed to have high speed internet, but it doesn't say wifi. I have my own travel router just in case... Aka an airport express...

Time to put on snow tires (yes I said snow tires). I can sense winter is around the corner. Need to buy a new set. The one that came with the BMW when I got is hardly worn at all as the old lady (first and original owner 1998) almost never drove in winter, but they are from 98 so the tires are like Bakelite.
