I need to focus on my relocating and transferering next spring, and less time just talking about it.
My dad had a telescoipe and binoculars and I would look at the millions of stars you can see at night between the clear skies and the higher elevation.

Today's Question(s):

I need to focus more on _being nice-er___ and less on _being beechie.____?


Extra Credit Question:


When does school start in your neck of the woods ? Some have already gone back that are on the multi-track system (school all year round) and some that are going back to conventional schooling will start on Sept 13th I do believe.

How far do you live from any of the following schools:

Elementary ? A couple blocks west
Middle ? About a mile north of us
High School ? Mile east of us
College ? About 5 miles south
We are totally surrounded by schools.

If any of our QOTD family lives very close, does the school traffic affect you ? Yes, but in a good way, there's a crosswalk without a light, and I like to 'hitch a ride' when the crossing guard walks the kids across.

Bonus Question:

Have you or anyone in your family ever owned a telescope ? No

If a telescope showed up at your home, what would you aim it at ?
Nobody I'd want to voyeur behind us, so I'd have to say the moon. Up in the sky.

Just for fun:


How many items in your home have "Truckles" ? The 2 office chairs & 2 suitcases. I downsized when I moved, I had SO many more!

Extra Credit Question:

When does school start in your neck of the woods ? - Hmm.. I don't know, I don't go to school anymore.. unless you're talking about Traffic School, in that case I have a class this weekend... - Just kidding.

If any of our QOTD family lives very close, does the school traffic affect you ?
There's a school of ants outside in my backyard... does that count?

Bonus Question:

Have you or anyone in your family ever owned a telescope ? - I have a bunch of them.. On my rifles... And a spotting scope I use all the time at the shooting range.

If a telescope showed up at your home, what would you aim it at ? - At the gal who lives down the street and lays out by the pool all the time in her bikini... - I'm only kidding, I wouldn't do that, and I don't have such a neighbor, although I wish I did...
