#3 And that's the problem.

Back in 8th grade I would have nailed this test, except the parts about Kentucky. That was also when I had the side-angle-side and my phone numbers list memorized.

#4 Swk, I'd of done a lot better had there not been any windows in the classrooms. I still blame all of those windows.

#7 I hear ya Besoeker. There were girls to talk to, so there was that.

Why yes, I did start a cactus garden over by my daughter's window. (gestures with the shotgun) I just love those yellow flowers.
