Michael Jackson is like someone who was given an unlimited budget in life, and he exceeded it. (some guy on Extra on my way to Jeopardy)

*Back under 50%. Sigh.

I went to pick Casey up early from school and it turned out that the first grades were released early so the teachers could train in the program. OK, over to the Child Development Center. The library program today was Mimo the Clown. She was funny. She picked Casey to help with one of the tricks. (I wish I'd brought my camera!) The child got to put red, white, and blue scarves into a bag, then pull out a flag (first without the blue, then in blue-and-white stripes with a red field). Casey handled it all very well. Furthermore, the child was able to tell the clown that the name was "Casey" so that the clown understood, and could express various ideas. This is all a great improvement.

Afterwards we read enough books to get the 30-book prize and almost to 40. There's a little girl who comes and listens too. Her dad is reading to little brother but definitely can see this child. Then a little boy, loud 5 I'd guess, came and they played around the floor mat. Mom took Josh away, but Josh drew his picture and gave it to Casey so Casey wouldn't forget him.

Finally, we went to a different park, one with shade and a lot more play equipment.

They rescued two teens who were abducted last night. The sheriff was giving a press conference and Dioxin Davis burst in to give congratulations and his own press conference. Fortunately, the radio left him and went back to the sheriff. Gov Gray has the Clinton disease, has to be the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral. Simon for Governor has the ways the Goobernor is like Monty Burns.
