"SNAFU" is a term that the U.S. Army must have invented.  They sent my 18 year-old ROTC-cadet son(Arky2) to Louisville, KY., for Air Assault School training, for Army Rangers.   Upon arrival, he found that they had sent him to the wrong city!  He had to rent a car and drive 3 hours to Nashville, Tn!....Morgantown, WV., was recently declared the city with the cheapest dates available!....Phoenix, Az.  public parking costs, now among the lowest in the U.S., will be increasing, to coincide with the opening of the majorly cost-overrun Phoenix Area Rapid Transit(PHART), in 2008.  The city predicts a shortage of  27,000 parking spaces, by 2015.  The downtown ASU campus is expected to add 7,500 commuting students, within two years, so be prepared to carpool or PHART(and Phx was recently recognized as the 'Sweatiest City in America!')....The U.S. Surgeon General has AGAIN determined that second-hand cigarette smoke is dangerous to everyone's health.  I hate it when I see parents smoking, while holding their infant children, and I cannot stand being next to - or in a confined area - with someone whose clothes reek of smoke.  But the State Legislature is still hesitant to eliminate smoking in ALL public places(tobacco lobbyists' influences)  - vote them out!....A Texas attorney, formerly convicted of shooting two men in a bar and then attempting to shoot/stab himself in the chest, was denied the right to practice law in Arizona.  The Az. Supreme Court ruled that a prerequisite to being an eligible Az. attorney is that one must be a back-stabber!....In New York, they say 'muggy' while in Arizona they say 'Go back to New York!'....A recent survey claiming that 'Money Isn't Everything,' made front-page news in the Az Republic.  As far as I know, there is only one thing that money cannot buy - POVERTY!....Major insurance companies have determined that cellphone use is at least as dangerously distractive as drinking alcohol, while driving.  Forty percent of drivers admit to using cellphones, thirty percent to drinking alcohol, thirty percent to other distractions, and 100% to getting in front of me on purpose!....A recent study affiliated with Education Week says that about 30% of high school freshman do not graduate.  Study results are based upon data from 2002-03, the most recent available.  Is it any wonder that education is getting to be so bad?  We can get Powerball results instantaneously, but important statistics(probably available on MySpace.com) cannot be obtained by administrators?  They just want to hide the facts!....If you woke up breathing, congratulations - you get another chance!
