So, continuing the education theme…
I saw recently that the US military’s brilliant new strategy is to teach people to read…really???…Education as empowerment?!?!?! That’s not the American ideal. Now they’re going to hate “usâ€â€¦
The soviets banned the burqa and educated girls (I’m not sure if education was mandated or just optional)…but we’re copying them now?
I like it…I’ve said it before, but go with the Porn n’ chicken strategy…Give them western culture (music, tv, movies, clubs, alcohol, KFC etc.) and let the youth see how the other half lives. Spend the military budget on TVs for everyone, and put on the appropriate shows over the air…
Course there’s that pesky lack of electricity problem as well 😉
Hi Joe, actually wanted to get to coos bay, but found out best way is eugene, to drain exit, to reedsport… anyway mom said you called …can you send me an email of your itinerary, are you needing a place to crash, (like my couch?) there is a camping spot not 2 miles from here that puts you right by the river, or another 10 miles and you can be at a national park….please let me know when you might be near. to let you know I start work sept. 7th and work till 4 ish. love you
Also what is the name of the guy your coming with, what does he do. Should we set up a party at aunt hazels park so you can see everyone at once???????They need lots of time to schedule there club house.. Love ya,,,,,mom
ah..I wondered why you were so concerned about getting to Eugene…If my memory serves you turn off towards Drain/Elkton (south of Eugene) and go to Reedsport and you’ll avoid the hills to Roseburg (where I think we broke down once)…so you got it!
I think it’ll be too cold to camp. We’ll probably find something in town rather than out your way, but we’ll see…
His name it Matt…he works in IT at a bank, but he’s not as much of a wanker as one would expect from a London Banker 😉
It would be GREAT to see everybody. I think we’re busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, but if it could be done on a Sunday the 16th that would be swell. Then I think we’ll go to Coos Bay on Monday and head south from there…We should arrive Salem on the 12th, 13th or 14th.I told Nanny the 11th, but in checking the Calender that’s wrong…Can you let her know I was mistaken about that?
Hi Joe’s Mum, i’m Matt. Well i was nervous about the introduction but Joe seems to have done a splendid job of that… Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully not imposing!
