Elementary Schools announce ‘Booger Battle’
Over the next month kids at area elementary schools will compete in ‘Booger Battle’. The inaugural event will judge students boogers on categories: size, color, shape, and smell.
A local superintendent said, “They do this all over the country, especially in Red States and the results have been varying.”
They expect the competition to generate an estimated $0 in economic impact.

So someone tipped me off that the sudden change in the board at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery had to do with the forced sale of Gage Brothers to a competitor in Minnesota. Read the comments from the above post. WOW!
Complicated. I encourage everyone to read all the posts from the beginning (if you FF thru the deer pics and remodeling projects 🙂 there is some juicy stuff in there, like this;

I’m posting this morning about my conversation today with Kayla Kleman in the department of consumer affairs in the attorney general’s office.
Her response was that all complaints were forwarded to the new board for response to all of your complaints.
My previous letter of August 29th states that she sent the complaint to the previous board and they did not respond in 20 days. She would not send me anything in writing. Please contact Marty Jackley and ask why this problem is being pushed off on the new board!Call 1 800 300 1986. Remember he said he would help if enough people were involved. NO HELP SO FAR!
Funny how Marty gets in front of the camera a lot these days trying to track down cartoon porn, drug dealing prison guards and extensive fraud throughout state government, but when there is obvious tax fraud, malfeasance, and disappearing funds the AG office goes radio silence to protect certain folks. Reminds me of Marty covering up the sexual harassment scandal at DCI and claiming Pat and Gant did nothing wrong in the SOS office because they didn’t steal money from the petty cash draw (just historic flags and intellectual data, no biggie) all the while our current mayor was playing server musical chairs with Dakotawusscollege.
I guess if I was the NEW board of Mt. Pleasant, I wouldn’t want Marty’s help, I would go straight to the Feds. If you think you are going to get any help from Pierre you would probably have better luck finding the LOSER that stole your Christmas Wreath.
I would see if you can get a retired attorney to help you navigate this fiasco and sue the former board and get your money back.
This is a classic case of established rich folks in town taking regular folks to the cleaners and suffering no consequences. No surprise, this state is so corrupt I’m not surprised it hasn’t collapsed on itself.
UPDATE: What’s up with big truck drivers?
UPDATE: I had to laugh this morning when I was parking in a lot downtown. And it wasn’t a commercial truck. Figures.
I have been commuting the streets of Sioux Falls almost daily for 4 years on my E-Bikes. Certain things stick out with our traffic flows. The thing that has surprised me the most is how rude and aggressive big truck drivers are. While most of the drivers are men, it doesn’t seem to matter their gender or race they are all guilty of being very BAD drivers and rude. I’m not talking about commercial trucks, those drivers are usually good because the company they work for is plastered all over their vehicle, it is people who drive large extended cab pickups or very large 4 door SUVs for personal use. I used to think it was because of phone usage, but it is NOT, most large truck drivers will look right at you and pull in front of you. If they see you crossing the street they speed up to scare you or try to hit you. And if they fail in messing with your commute they usually roll their window down and yell profanities at you. They are RUDE as F’CK. And like I said it is ALWAYS people in large personal trucks. I don’t know if they think it is some status symbol to own a truck that costs more then the original purchase price of my home (no kidding) or if it is tiny dick disease (can women have this too?). But I don’t understand why large truck drivers are so aggressive, not just towards bicyclists and peds but other drivers. Here’s an example; I drove my car thru a little snow storm the other day to work, and the roads were pretty bad. I was going down South Cliff and all of the traffic was moving cautiously and slowly until some jackass in a King Ranch blows past everyone doing 50 MPH and blowing snow all over everyone. They are just soooo damn rude.
I know this isn’t scientific, but every time I have a close call it is always with a large personal vehicle. I don’t think visibility in those vehicles is better, I think it is worse. I saw a lady driving a Nissan Armada (they the most ridiculous SUV you have ever seen, it looks like a SWAT team armored vehicle, but bigger). All you could see was the top of her head and the way she was driving it was obvious to me she couldn’t see crap. I also think there should be weight limits on large personal vehicles. If you are a contractor hauling around equipment and tools, you need something super duty, but what is the purpose of driving a King Ranch as a commuter in town? It’s silly. And who has $600 a month to spend on gas?
I’m not sure how you make large truck drivers better, but you can certainly regulate them. I would love to force them all to drive a Mazda Miata for a year.
