Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

[greybeard]

Boy, tell me about it. I live near Celeste Tx it's been raining for a few days.

I've been there...on purpose.
It's my daughter's name and I wanted her to see her namesake metropolis before it completely dried up and closed up for good.
It IS considered Audie Murphy's home town, even tho he and family lived in an abandoned railroad boxcar at the time.

The marines missed out there didn't they!

 

[greybeard]

Nah, did fine without him. Army needed him in Europe more than USMC did in the Pacific..

 

[FRED DESANTIS]

I had read the historical marker
Didn't know about the boxcar.

Gee Mom I have grown!

 

[Bruce]

Taller than mom now!

Where in NB? DD1 is going to start attending Mt. A in January.

 

[Wispy55]

I assume Mt. A is Mt. Allison in Sackville. We are at the north end just outside Miramichi. Long way for her to come, special classess?

Only 100 miles from you!

It is closer than where DD2 went. She went to Beloit College in southern Wisconsin. 3 day trip, Sackville is only 2 .
Several good reasons for DD1 to go to Mt Allison. For one you Canadians don't break the bank with college education and Mt. A is supposed to be a very good school, on par with 70K USD schools. Second, she has had a permanent migraine since she was 14, now is 25.5. There are finally some new drugs that have made it so she can go to college. She's been taking classes at the local community college. Canadian colleges don't care about standardized tests - ACT and SAT. Given she hasn't taken all the classes those are based on for 8 years, she would have a really tough time scoring well. And of course they do have the degrees she is interested in. She will be taking Japanese, Spanish and ESL. Plans to translate and teach ESL. Plus study abroad in Japan and Spain.
