Introduction
Howdy, y'all! This is the first of three “shotgun blast” articles today, a too warm, cloudy, and humid Saturday. It's in the context of “life, such as it is.”
We have a few minor jobs that need to be done around here. I wonder if the man, whom I met today, will get the job done and be paid well. We will see. Wasn't this week's work insanity enough? I agree.
Earlier today, it was football time for both Georgia Bulldogs fans and Tennessee “Vowels” fans at 12 PM. The unranked Tennessee “Vowels” beat the unranked Missouri “Kitty Cats,” 62 to 24. I was surprised that the “Vowels” didn't lose. Well, that was good. The latest TN “Vowels” coach in the coach carousel, whom I have nicknamed “He Fell,” finally seems to be doing okay.
My team, the Georgia Bulldogs (#2), beat those Arkansas “Hogs” (#8), 37 to 0. That was a great game! I watched or listened to most of it while doing the usual chores and working on my three articles today. Go Dawgs! (Molly, our old puppy, is also happy.) That was the way the #2 team showed the #8 team its place! The Georgia Bulldogs (#2) are hungry for the (#1) Alabama “Elephants.” This may be the year for the Dawgs to destroy the “Elephants.” We will see.
Let's get this first of three articles written! Shall we? We shall!
Knox County Schools Mask Mandate
I will not bore you with the mundane details. If you are interested, two website sources involve some Greene County, Tennessee, judge (J. Ronnie Greer, Senior United States District Judge, United States District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee), who should have retired by now; his forced mask mandate in public schools (United States District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee at Knoxville, Case 3:21-cv-00317-JRG-DCP, Document 35, Filed 09/24/2021); the Knox County “socialist” (i.e., public) School District's response; and the still free folks in a once free and great nation.
The local TV media (“New Knox County Schools mask mandate brings tension among parents,” WATE TV, by Lexi Spivak, 9/28/2021), the local newspaper (“Return after mask mandate goes smoothly at Knox County Schools with few protests,” Knoxville News Sentinel, by Isabel Lohman, 9/28/2021), and the national media (“Two federal judges rule local Tennessee school districts can mandate masks,” The Hill, by Celine Castronuovo, 9/25/2021) have made hay with this insanity.
9/30/2021 and 10/1/2021 (Thursday and Friday)
On Thursday and Friday, I was “honored” to drive the 16.4 miles one way to the “Hadean Realm” office to do the same work that I had done from home on Monday through Wednesday. At least the building temperature was controlled better this time.
Driving to work on both days, I saw free people, in a once free and great nation, protesting the illegal and unconstitutional “mask mandate” in Knox County schools. Several were on the sidewalk near the entrance to the new grade school. They were holding the usual signs. I waved at them. They were doing the best that they could. I wish that the “local yokel” media had a photograph of them. I was driving, so I couldn't take a photograph.
Conclusion
Well, this is the first of the three “shotgun” articles today. I'm glad that Mrs. Appalachian Irishman and I do not have school-aged children in the Knox County school system. If we did, I would be far more vocal in defense of our freedom in a once-free and great nation.
How can some Greene County, Tennessee, judge act so foolishly? Doesn't he have any constitutional or common sense? He should have retired years ago.
