Man About Town Cont. from Page 4
Let me be clear. This criticism is NOT directed at the teachers. Nor at the students. It is aimed at the wacky legislators who come up with some weird ideas about what classroom and school discipline is.
We have some of the best and brightest and most dedicated teachers and staff you could ask for. But the legislators are not only placing them at great risk . . .they are allowing our kids/students to learn the wrong lessons about discipline and appropriate behavior. End of rant. For now.

A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son's house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room. "What are you doing?!" she asked.
"I'm waiting for Mike to come home from work," the daughter-in-law answered. "But you're naked!" the mother-inlaw exclaimed. "This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained. "Love dress? But you're naked!"
"Mike loves me and wants me to wear this dress," she explained. "It excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomes romantic. He can't get enough of me."
The mother-in-law left. When she got home, she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD, and lay on the couch, waiting for her husband to arrive.
Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and saw her lying there so provocatively. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"This is my love dress," she whispered sensually.
"Need's ironing," he said. "What's for dinner?"
He never heard the gunshot. •••• The benefits of a good vocabuary . . . I recently called an old MIT graduate pal and asked what he was working on these days. He replied that he was working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment."
I was impressed...upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision. •••• A police officer came to my house and asked where I was between 5 and 6. He seemed irritated when I told him, “kindergarten.” •••• I find it so damned difficult to speak with forked tongue. •••• Bipartisianship is not what is missing in Washington. Common Sense is.

little or no protest from those targeted. The first amendment to our Constitution allows us to say what we wish and for the most part I believe that most of us can handle the humor put forth in such jokes and even enjoy them. However, you and every editor in this country, regardless of newspaper, magazine, book, or periodical WILL NOT DARE to write jokes or humor about Blacks, Negroes or BLM's or they would quickly be shut down whether they liked it or not! It is my hope that all editors such as you, can continue expressing enjoyable humor about all of our many nationalities without fear of being gagged and closed. Sincerely George L. Beitner Sr. San Marcos, Ca.

Are dogs and cats not really your style? Looking to add a duck to your family? Ducks, like Carl (714682), are intelligent, social creatures who can learn tricks, play with toys, and even give kisses! (They'll have you quackin' up). Due to their social nature, ducks must be paired with other ducks. After-all, only ducks can truly understand each other. It is essential that you feed your ducks a complete and nutritious diet. We may think of them as bread-loving birds, but excessive amounts of bread are not suitable for a duck's diet. Instead, switch out those carbs for some fruits, veggies and duck pellets! Carl is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3500 Burnet Drive. To learn more about making him part of your family, please make an appointment online at sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-2997012.

became her home for 21 years. Here the majestic nature with the snow-capped mountains, a total contrast to her homeland impressed her greatly. In 1989, a self-taught painter, she was ready to take on the world. California is now her home. With its easy living, California provides her with unique artistic means of expression. Among her favorite subjects is the life, legends, and symbols of native Americans and her own native African tribal people. Her motto is: “I create my own world by including everything and everybody.”
Grace Swanson’s interest in gourds began as a small child, born and raised in Nigeria. The Nigerian people use gourds for everything from storing food to spoons to holding cosmetics. When she saw a class on gourd art offered 11 years ago, she decided to give it a try. The feel and smell of the burning gourd just took her “home”. She was hooked. Each gourd has its own personality and that often dictates what design she will burn into the gourd and whether it will stay whole or become an opened vessel. Sometimes she has a very definite design in mind when she begins, and sometimes she makes it up as she goes along. Some gourds may take as little as two or three hours to complete. Others may take days or
