Can I assume that the attractive young lady who has followed my brand new account on Twitter, on which I have posted nothing and don't have a profile picture, is actually interested in either me or what I have to say?
😁
Spoiler: A quick search of the image results in multiple accounts using this exact picture. It's a spam account. But then I knew that.
Case 1: The multi-cultural club made posters. Hung them on the wall in the hallway. Covered eight or nine winter-time religious holidays including Jewish, Sikh, the made up one, Kwanzaa, and several others that I can't remember. They were very interesting.
Noticeably missing, Christmas and or Christianity. Don't know why but I'd be willing to be that it's not OK to post anything in the school hallway regarding Christian observance.
Case 2: The leadership kids do the announcements over the PA every day. "Good morning, XXXXX High School". Recently they started doing the Good Morning portion in several languages, including Punjabi. Good morning was very, very long so I asked a student what the literal translation was. Turned out it's him reciting it, and it's a religious expression giving glory to their deity for a great victory in a long ago battle.
Again, if the Christian kids were to greet the school with a religious observance instead of Good Morning, do you think it would fly?
It's really bothering me. We've removed all traces of Western Civilization, the foundational culture that created everything that makes this country great on the grounds of "freedom from religion", and now we are inserting everyone else's beliefs into the same public square where it is prohibited to discuss the native populations' beliefs.

Jones Family CS Type 8
Date: 1927
Purchased in Wenatchee, WA 2025, $73
This one was picked up for me by a friend who wrapped it in a blanket and strapped it on the back of his motorcycle to get it home. Somewhere there's a picture but now I can't find it. That would make an interesting discussion: things you've carried on your motorcycle. My list would include, to start, a four foot piece of 4" x 10" and an upright vacuum cleaner. My friend Eric's list would include my dog Brutus after he passed away (the dog, not Eric) and the body needed to be taken to the vet for storage since I was on vacation.
Jones made a lot of small changes to their machines which means that a lot of the parts aren't interchangeable, even though the machines look almost identical. Often the only way to tell them apart is by the different decals. This one is a Type 8 according to fiddlebase.com.

Attachment on the bed to the right of the machine is a "third hand" fabric holder. It keeps the fabric from sliding toward you and putting pressure on your material as you work.
