==================================
Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Parent-run Christian school.  It was fed into from various
 NB> similar K-6  NB>> day schools in the area.  I was only in public
 NB> school for K, 1 and 12.

 RH> OK, I see. Nothing like that in the area where I grew up & my parents
 RH> probably would have gone with public school even if there were.

 NB> K and first were two different school systems in two different
 NB> states... Where I started school there had been some talk of a
 NB> Christian school
 NB> but nothing happening, so they finally sent me off to the local
 NB> kindergarten...  Then we moved, and the Christian school there was
 NB> clear across town... after a not particularly promising year of first
 NB> grade in the public school just down the street, they decided that
 NB> going across
 NB> town (and getting involved in a carpool) wasn't that bad an option
 NB> after all.  When we moved again, the Christian school I was talking
 NB> about
 NB> above was quite convenient, with part of in the church whose backyard
 NB> butted up against ours, and the schoolbus stop for the higher grades
 NB> right there in that church parking lot...  :)  My senior year, of
 NB> course, was after yet another move... and no Christian high school
 NB> available at the time.  As you might have guessed, my parents were
 NB> very much into Christian schools... :)

Mine weren't, and none were in the area where I grew up. Even if there
had been any, I doubt we would have gone, probably citing the cost as
the main reason. Public school was free, which my parents appreciated.
There's now a Christian school in town but I don't know anything about
it.

 NB> :)  NB>> I'm just as happy not to have it too warm...  :)

 RH> It was supposed to get to the low 80s today, don't know if it did or
 RH> not but tomorrow is only supposed to go to about 70. Still, I think all
 RH> danger of frost is (fnally!) over.

 NB> Not sure if we are anywhere near that yet... This week has had highs
 NB> in the 40's... ;)  Today's is supposed to be more like the high 50s...
 NB>  :)

Not bad, we're in the mid 70s, severe thunderstorms in the area, tornado
warnings around us but not in our immediate area. But, tomorrow should
be good for going to the farmer's market.

 NB>  RH>> Do you hear the Jeopardy "think music" in the background? (G)
 NB>  NB>> No... but that sounds like wishful thinking... after all, they
 NB> are  NB>> only allowed, what is it, about a minute...?  ;)

 RH> IIRC, it's 30 seconds. And, Steve called DMV today. Turns out he was
 RH> told wrong on the wait time; it's actually longer but the man he spoke
 RH> to said he'd put a note in Steve's file to try to get things sped up.
 RH> We'll see about that.

 NB> 'Twould be nice, anyway... :)  I suppose that DMV sees no rush since
 NB> they think he could be driving in the interim while they make the
 NB> decision instead of the other way, waiting for the decision to
 NB> (hopefully) go back to driving...

Seems to be that way, sigh! They've no concern that there are good
reasons he should be allowed back on the road either.
