Not Too Swift

Utah, the model for all schools in the United States:

School Gets President's Name Wrong


OGDEN, Utah - The Ogden School District needs a big eraser. After naming a new school "James A. Madison Elementary School" in May, a history teacher pointed out this month that the fourth president of the United States didn't have a middle initial.

Wow, what a school district that is.

Do you know how many desks that suggestion must have touched prior to being approved?

I wonder how many are Bringum Young graduates?



Woman Gets Her Diploma, 76 Years Later


PROVO, Utah- Illness kept Leah Moore Harris Fullmer from attending her high school graduation. Then it took decades to find her transcript. But now it's official: At age 94, Fullmer is a member of the Provo High School Class of 1931.

Fullmer was helped into a white gown at a school board meeting Tuesday. She even gave her graduation cap a celebratory toss.

"This is all a big experience for me," she said. "Here I am 95 and just getting my diploma. You'd think I was smarter than that."

I knew Utah was slow paced, but 76 years to get a diploma?



Nevada Cops patterned after the hit TV show Reno 911:

You'd better believe he called for backup

Nevada deputy twice arrests a colleague on DUI charge — his own wife


ELKO, Nev. - This might make for a tense time at home.

An off-duty sheriff's deputy was pulled over and charged with driving under the influence — by her husband, a fellow deputy.

Charlotte Moore, 36, a jail deputy and 11-year veteran, was driving her 2004 Pontiac Grand Am when she was pulled over by her husband, Elko County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Moore, a police report said.

She allegedly left before being administered a portable Breathalyzer test.

Mike Moore pulled her over again and called the Elko Police Department for backup. He left shortly after officer Shane Daz arrived. Elko Police Department Sgt. Mark Butterfield also was on scene.

Charlotte Moore was released at 1:47 a.m. on Sunday and placed on paid administrative leave, Elko County Undersheriff Rocky Gonzalez said.

Mike Moore was following procedure when he asked for backup, Gonzalez told the newspaper. The sheriff's office supports the police department's actions, he said.

Neither Mike nor Charlotte Moore was available for comment, the Elko Daily Free Press said.

Charlotte Moore reportedly had been drinking approximately two hours earlier at a downtown business group's wine walk.

Unless he can get her real drunk at home he can forget ever tripping the light fandango with her again!!

At least he doesn't have far to go in Nevada to visit a pet store. Or as they are called in Nevada a Cathouse!!




Well, after a family meeting it looks like I'll be working at least another 20 years or so. I was talking to the kids about retiring and they both agreed they couldn't afford it.


OK peeps it's Friday, so today's post will be short so we can get the weekend started!!
