It would be nice if they would do the synthetic turf field. Seems like they always get left out. It has always felt like they were an after thought and Richlands and Graham would get what ever they wanted.

There has been talk of consolidating schools for over 50 years. 

We like creek ratz which is next door to dead dog. It has decent food but especially in the summer you can sit outside and they have live music.
We haven't gone to Dead Dog much, but I will always support them because of the way they treated their employees after the place burned. They
kept them on the payroll and some of the employees actually helped with the rebuild of the place. 

We live in MB (Carolina Forest area). Saw that story on the news last night but there was no mention of the AR-15.

We'll see dude. It was already announced the other day that once a vaccine is available Virginia would make it mandatory for everyone. Now will they go through with that? I do not know and I do believe they'd have quite a battle on their hands.
But yea, I totally expect Ralph and Co. to punish Virginia hard once Trump wins reelection, or at least attempt to. 

Who was the one brave soul that voted against the phase 3 model?

Ok, this is what I think--revelatory, nope, but hope for this young team, yes.  The Dawgs with their football program the last few years, have faced more adversity than all other local programs combined.   They are young, they are few, but if they combine their determination with commitment over the next few years, they can bounce back.  I know several wonderful people from T-Town and I think they rank right up there with the best of our local communities.  Are there some fans and vocalists who have contributed in this downward spiral, certainly, but I am reminded of the scripture "he who is without blame cast the first stone."   Do we want to be "stone throwers" to this young team, or be honorable and say  "out of ashes these young pups can grow into awesome Dawgs."    This is what I hope for this team, and I believe it can happen with time. 

Great post! Kids today are taught to go tell somebody about the bullying, or anything else for that matter. My dad would have wore me out for that when I was younger. I teach my kids to stay away from trouble, but when it gets down to it, they better stand up for themselves. You can't make it very far relying on somebody else to fix your problems. As a parent you want to protect your kids, but if you really want them to succeed, you have to let them handle things on their own and support them every step of the way.

Probably a bit off topic, but......whatever happened to the days when parents told their kids.....don't start no s*%t but you better not take any s*#t......the message that kids should receive (in my opinion) is not to be a victim.  Sign of the times I guess.....these days it is fashionable to be a victim.
 
Today's kids have a dim outlook if you think about it.  All of this social media today, nobody actually talks with anybody any more.  Inter-personal communication skills will soon be a thing of the past.  Everyone wants to blame someone else...no accountability..we have petitions, websites, political campaigns, movies.....all about kids being bullies.  Not trying to say that bullying is a good thing, because it isn't.  In all of these anti-bully campaigns......is there ever a message about not being a victim?  Or standing up to a bully.  This country was founded on standing up to bullies.   I guess if this was the practice a couple hundred years ago.....we would have simply campaigned the French to make the mean men in red coats stop bullying us.  It that was the case.....we would all be drinking tea. Just my two cents.
