1. Need a break from work this week? Why not visit the county clinic? The county health department is offering free H1N1 vaccines to anybody and everybody all week at its three walk-in clinics. I like free.
2. Add this to the list of things that won’t shock you. Not every school offers the same amount of AP classes. If your kid goes to school in Plano or Highland Park, she’ll have maybe 30 subjects to choose from. If she goes somewhere in DISD, she might have a choice of only eight. Here’s something that is kind of surprising though: according to the Dallas Morning News, “54 percent of AP exams taken by Texas public high school students this year received failing scores–even higher than the national failure rate.”
3. WFAA Channel 8 aired a disturbing little story last night. Apparently, in addition to swiping your high-def television, thieves are also taking off with Fido. Seems like it would be difficult to pull off too many of these heists in one swoop unless the burglar doubles as a dog catcher or has a really big car with plenty of room for both the booty and the beagles (or Goldens or what have you). This story bothered me a whole bunch, and I’ve devoted far too much thought to debunking it because I don’t like the thought of petnapping one bit.
