    All-

     I am sure that everyone is covered up with late second semester recitals, testing, moving, jury prep etc. And the attendant gnashing of teeth, wailing and rending of clothing that accompany it. I thought I might lighten the mood with something I walked in on this week. Unknown who attempted this , their heart was in the right place!
    Hope the rest of your semester goes smoothly-

    Hi David!! Ha!! Made my day....lol. 
    And for those who may have missed it...check out the VERY impressive "April Fools" joke in Tools, Tips, & Techniques in the Journal that just came out. Hint: bailing wire
    The "give-away": a town in Indiana that apparently does not exist! Bah ha ha-who has the time!!!???!! 😆😆

    Kevin,

    That one had me going for a second! And actually, the town in Iowa does exist, but the technician doesn't. :)

    Okay, I didn't get that it was an AF joke, but as I read through it several times I said: "You've got to be kidding me, this is ridiculous!"  Now it makes sense.

    Oh okay! Hmm.. well that's good to know that the town does exist! As I kept reading it over and over, and I just kept getting more and more upset that something like THIS could actually pass "congress" --and I was like, come on!! No way--then I saw that the person's last name who was supposed to have "contributed" this, had the same last name as the town. Light bulbs went off in my head, then I said to my wife, "Is this like an "April fool's joke" or something??!!"....then looked at the front cover which of course is the April issue...FACE PALM!!! We've ALL been HAD!!! LOL. good one Journal staff!

    Actually it is doing the job- who cares what it looks like. It could also be quite warm in cold weather. Could have been ordered off the internet - is there a matching string cover ????
