Mr. Boy goes to driving class today from 5 to 7. Classroom stuff. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday when he’s supposed to get a certificate for having completed that phase. Next week the actual driving begins.
In a car with dual brakes and accelerator. No extra wheel? Alas, not. The instructor apparently is an expert at using the wheel from the side. Better him than me.

Seems like only yesterday. It was Dec. 9, actually, we were recounting a legislative committee’s finding that some Texas women high school teachers are having trouble avoiding sexually abusing students: statutory rape it’s called.
Comes now Haeli Wey, a former math teacher at posh Westlake High School on Austin’s prosperous west side, who faces up to 20 years in prison for not one, but two, second-degree felony charges of sex with 17 year olds.
You know a convicted male teacher would get the max time. Haeli certainly should, too. Then maybe this growing epidemic of Texas women teacher rapists would at least diminish, eh?

“So how do liberals get their wish for a disarmed, subservient population? They don’t.”
Heh.

Björk Guðmundsdóttir, the Icelandic pop singer known by her first name, and her infamous swan dress. Her haunting songs, such as Bachelorette (with its fiddle and cello string section and lyric “I’m a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl”) and Joga, are just as memorable.
Gotta sign Mr. Boy up this week for driving school which starts Dec. 21, over the Xmas (PC version: winter) break. He’ll do it from 5 to 7 p.m., weekdays through Jan. 15.
Much better than the way I learned, with my short-tempered father in a department store parking lot, back in the day when stores closed on Sundays.
Then, as I understand it so far, we’ll take the school’s graduate certificate to the state and get him a learner’s permit. Which will require me to ride with him as he drives (oh, joy) Mrs. Charm’s car with automatic for a few months before he can qualify for the full license. Learning the manual transmission in my car will come later.
Time sure flies.
