I think it's kind of weird they didn't tell parents. You should have the choice if it's someone you want your kids around or not!!

Seriously, has there been any reports establishing where POTUS is today? Or VPOTUS? Surely, the governator doesn't travel with security like this?

I can't wait for you to relay Emma's report when she gets home!
If it was the POTUS or VPOTUS, PSM would not have gotten anywhere close to the school without going through Secret Service checkpoints.

When Bush Sr. used to come visit his buddy Donald Bren at the Irvine Hyatt, which was next door to my office building, I could see snipers.

I think that you know that you should take the exact opposite of whatever Juch says to be the truth.

I had to go pick Emma up from school.

The kids were out on the newly mowed field, we've had mild Santa Anas and her allegies became unbearable. Her eyes were all red and swollen and she has a headache.

Emma is in bed sleeping now. She really wanted Zap to sleep in her bed, but he decided that he would rather sleep in "the forbidden place."

By the way, there are more security people outside the school. They aren't in suits, but their clothing is fancier.

So the secret guest hasn't arrived yet?

You mean we're going to have to wait until Emma finds out from her friends who the VIP was?

Damn you, grass pollen, damn you!

I am sure that she will get a text from her friends when school ends.

I get back from my meeting at 5:00, so I will probably know by then.

I am pretty sure that it's Arnold.

When Emma left, I asked the secretary to send a message to Emma's friend letting her know that Emma couldn't talk home with her today. Since the classes were on the field, she suggested that it might be better to have Emma send her friend a text message.

Been following this with great interest.

Can't wait to see who it is.

Arnold would make sense, though.

The thing with the lockers is extremely odd, though.

I think so too! None of the schools in the PYLUSD have lockers.

Yeah, well Emma finds it ironic that Arnold would talk about drug abuse given his past abuse of steroids.

That's why Emma got sent home. TPTB know that she can be a troublemaker when confronting authority figures! :twisted:

Correct gender.

Emma wasn't impressed by the person, but the men at the District boundary meeting were.

Apparently they did.

From what I heard at the district, they expected people to "swamp the school" if they found out that Shaq was there.
