Times must be tough in the music business South of Richmond. No competent guitarists, singers, or lyricists, no barber to trim an unkempt beard. Childish guitar, weak melody, nonsensical message. Candy-eating welfare recipients starve morally superior drinking southern workers? Really? Old soul? Hasn't learned much. Makes true conservatives seem ridiculous.

Third Grade
So, what about third grade? This is the year that we really started with the new math so to speak. We are now entering multiplication from the threes through the twelves, fractions that include mixed and improper. There is a new subject in social studies known as history which is mainly the colonies and a little of the American revolution, but really only a taste. It was also the first year that we as students had our first achievement tests to see how we were progressing. My first third grade teacher was named Mrs. Bellstrom who for reason it seemed did not seem to care to much about me, but she became a mother and was replaced by Mrs. Donley who did like me and she liked the students to help her with little classroom chores to improve responsibility for we were no longer little ones, but growing up.
