Lazy postal worker killing the planet

Today the regular postal carrier wasn't around, so this area had a substitute. Instead of picking some place to park and walk around the block (as most of them do), he decides to drive to each house. Moving the truck only inches each time, since the houses are so close to each other. Keeping the engine going for the entire length of his delivery in the area burns up excessive amounts of gas and adds more pollution to the atmosphere. In essence, his laziness is killing us all as the hole on the ozone gets larger and as more oil must be drilled to satisfy his over-consumption for precious earthly resources.

Puzzling results from Apple TV when there is no Internet

As of late, my ISP has been getting worse and worse; Internet connection seems to go out constantly. But the real puzzling thing is what happens to the 2nd generation Apple TV when there is no Internet.

I will still be able to stream Music, Podcasts, Photos, and iTunes U content that is stored on my computer via my Airport Extreme Base Station. However, Movies and TV Shows from my computer will not stream if there is no Internet connection. Even if it's content I created myself. I do not understand why this occurs, but it's very confusing. If other content continues to stream without an Internet connection, why do my Movies and TV Shows fail to do so?

The reason America is failing

I'm watching an old episode of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? from last year and the contestant is Tami Buechler, an elementary school teacher from Las Vegas. The only questions she got right were the 1st grade questions. Did I mention she is an elementary school teacher?

THIS is what is wrong with America today, the teacher they have are dumber than the students they are supposed to teach. And this isn't a new trend either; when I was in elementary school in the 1980s, I had some pretty dumb teachers too. I remember one time I was told my math was incorrect, just because it was printed wrong in the Teacher's Edition of the math book. That's another problem with American school teachers, if it's not in the TE then they don't know the answer (most of the time).

Same thing when I was in High School in the 1990s. I was in a computer class learning MS Excel, I coming into the class knowing nothing at all, discovered little tricks with Excel that even the teacher didn't know! Why are these teachers so stupid? This is exactly what is wrong with America, and why our education is failing, we have stupid teachers.

We should pay the GOOD teachers more money to stay and keep teachers, and we should fire the BAD teachers (like the one on the game show) that are complete morons.
