Today the kids next door are throwing them at each other and my cul-de-sac resembles a tiny Peloponnesus and although I feel responsible, I'd rather see the spent casings of coconuts as expended ammunition and it's entertaining to think I have become a suburban arms dealer to the urchins that have colonized my yard.

In AP Government and Politics I asked the class to amend the current Cypress Bay as if reforming a government. This was an opening to Federalism v.
