Channel my inner @wxman1 yesterday. Was checking out grandnephews little toy airplanes and telling him this was a ME-109 and this was a Spitfire. Than sidetracked to how cool and distinctive a Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 engine sounded. 
My wife and I gave notice to our landlord/property management in December that we would not be renewing our lease when it ends in July of this year. $1,440 was already a ridiculous amount to pay for rent, but it became more ridiculous in the past year when the supply/demand for apartments in Ames shifted and the family across the haul is paying $250 less than we are for the same size apartment. Just because we moved in July 2016 and the family across the hall moved in August 2017.
Get an email on Memorial Day that the property management would be entering our apartment for showings Tuesday-Friday 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., and I didn't need to be home for the showings.
4:30 Friday afternoon, I'm in my living room playing PS4 when there's a knock at the door. I answer it to someone from the property management with a perspective tenant. Greeted with a, "Oh, you're home. We're here for a showing." Apparently "didn't need to be home" meant "don't be home". I get off work between 2:00 and 3:00. I'm supposed to stay away from my apartment for 2-3 hours four days in a row because you might be coming for a showing?
I let them in and went back to playing. The guy from the property management starts asking me questions. "Is this a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment. Is it Mediacom cable and internet out here?"
Needless to say, I can't wait to be done renting from this property management. /rant
I thought about just sitting in my underwear and letting them unlock the door themselves after they knock instead of answering the door.Make sure to not be wearing pants next time.
What PS4 game were you playing?

Jobu thanks youI think of him as the guy from The Unit & Major League, but yeah, he was Palmer too.![]()
Still not finding anything online for this. I would think the parents of the affected students would sue the parents of the others.A lot of corruption and wrist slapping going on. It's who you know and what your last name is that matters. The 3 students will be at graduation tomorrow and get their diplomas. Apparently, the state track qualifier was allowed to go too.

Definite possibilityOr the small town rumor mill blew things out of proportion.

If someone ended up in a hospital I would think just an apology isn't going to cut it. Civil suit.Lots of misinformation being spread right now. The rumor is as long as they apologize there won't be any consequences.

I was playing MLB The Show 18.
I hope nothing happens at graduation today. Heard there might be some protests or something. District said the reason they are keeping this quiet is because of privacy laws. One of the parents of a victim has sent a letter to all the TV stations about the apparent lack of punishment.
Nothing confirms my desire to never live in my hometown more than seeing the locals who never moved hammered at the local bar. No thanks.
