Complaint spurs cries of censorship | IndyStar.com
Superintendent Michael Copper has recommended that all material used in classrooms be reviewed by a committee of teachers, administrators and parents. The proposal is still in draft form, and the School Board has taken no action.

You cannot censor what our kids read in school and expect them to grow into young brilliant minds. If we control what they read we are nothing more than the communist spouting their rhetoric in the 1930's in Russia.
Ok, on to other things...
Yesterday after work I met Amanda at Prestons Rocks to pick up her wedding bands and her newly replated engagement ring (with the prongs fixed). It looks great! Only thing is that there is so much diamonds on each side of the engagement ring now the 1 carat center stone is pretty much hidden. I should post a picture.
After that we went to Cheeseburger in Paradise and ate. It was yummy, and my beer had a super-iced mug so I was happy.
After dinner we headed out, Amanda was going to E's house in Noblesville, I had to go to Best Buy in Noblesville. Amanda didn't want to pick up what I needed, so I had to go :( I grabbed what I needed and headed home. I stopped by Target to get batteries for George's virtual walls, but ended up buy a pen for Amanda (pink), batteries, 2 new pens for me, new socks, and RENT for Amanda. Just think...she didn't even want to pick up what I needed from Best Buy ;)
I got home and let the dog out and then put George to work. I programmed his start times and got the virtual walls set up. It's fun to drive him around...after playing for a while I docked him and let him charge up. When Amanda got home we let him work.
Unfortunately he was a little disoriented and slipped at the edge of the stairs. I about started crying, but his little 'uh-oh' beep three quarters of the way down the stairs made me laugh. I put him back together and everything was fine! Whew! He isn't supposed to go over the edge of stairs, but I think that he just got hung up and caught between a poster board that Amanda brought home and the edge of the stairs.
He then vacuumed the rest of out house. The floors look really good, you can tell that they are clean(er). He is set to clean every day this week at 3:30pm or so, we'll keep him cleaning every day until the floors are clean and then we'll move to a different routine.
Oh, and yes they work!
That's about it...
