Since Jimbo didn't attempt any aerodynamic modifications nobody mentioned it, although someone insisted the hood scoop, which is about as big as I see for 2-3L engines, is too small for this tiny one.

Someone else said that the original exhaust was too small for a diesel engine, but the diesel engine is far smaller than the original gas one!

I went to check on Facebook Dating, but apparently I need to find a whole new round of ladies who will inevitably stop talking to me, but hey!

I ran into two exes in two days there!

Facebook keeps reverting to the homepage, if it weren't for that and seeing it when I make my own posts I would never see what anyone else writes.



An anonymous SLPA posted that she had a part-time job at a charter school, but they gave her 5 fewer students than the full-time speech therapists, but supposedly she would need to pay a fine if she breaks her contract.

Someone asked if she wanted to teach in Tucson and I replied that I knew a lady who quit her school working for a charter school, taught virtually for Tucson, and told me to look for a job.

They didn't have an SLPA position then and still don't.

However, I keep seeing job postings for the Amphitheater district in Tucson, which only pays $15.85 for SLPAs and $55,600 for SLPs.

They don't seem to be able to keep speech therapists!

Tucson Unified is offering $61,000 for a new SLP and Balls District in Scottsdale is offering $17 to start for an SLPA.

I think the charter school paid me more than that, but at least part of that may have been my experience.

However, it was only part-time, and I didn't really have benefits.

Tucson uses this girl to try to sell their virtual school:
That video has some young an attractive woman wearing a hat inside talking to a random woman who totally looks like a random school employee.

The pretty one says "This is Tucson Now" and supposedly that is Channel 13 KOLD.

Cold.

In Tucson.

Hilarious.

That segment doesn't look real to me. They put up decorative walls and a standing table. I am trying to see the set for the channel Mom watches out of Phoenix, but so far I am seeing commercials, not fake interviews.

Tucson Now's page doesn't show any ads, just something about a talking head being fired after trash-talking his employer and costing them money.

KPHO Phoenix's page doesn't even have that much, just a link to the weather!

Anyway, the girl! I have many questions!

People just use pillows under their laptops?!
That laptop weighs four pounds, is it too heavy?!
I have needed to use a cooler for every laptop I have had since 2006, they get too hot in my lap, on a table, etc.
They have been uncomfortably warm, which doesn't do them any favors!
Do people use pillows to insulate their lap from hot laptops?!
That wouldn't be any better for them than when I added duct tape to the bottom of Dad's laptop!
Clearly she isn't doing schoolwork on the laptop, she is laughing!
Maybe a classmate made fun of the teacher in a private message!
Then she draws a circle on the laptop screen with her finger.
What the heck is that?!
I have used computers for 34 years and I don't think that I have ever drawn a circle on my screen with my finger!

I watched several KOLD and KPHO commercials. I didn't see anyone's set!
