RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! THERE'S A LIGHT SHOWER COMING!!  ::) ::):D

Either you were a comedian at the now closed Comedy, TX. Or you are a grade "A" ***clown. This is a very dangerous storm, and it is not going to be fun and jokes for Texas residents along the coast somewhere, including the possibility of here.

WILL YOU PLEASE LIGHTEN UP? I understand you are angry at the world, and depressed about your life and all and want to pick a fight, but I am not!!....GOODNESS!! ::)

Whatever,    Dick

emergency management might get a chance to find out which is more unforgivable... making us evacuate when we didn't need to, or trying to correct that mistake and waiting too long to evacuate us this time.  if this storm turns, there's going to be a lot of fallout if we're made to evacuate only a day and a half before the storm gets here.  i really hope this works out for everyone.

Yeah, I was fishin'!! :).. I just can't see how people are trying to tie these two storms together somehow....There are so many things that are different such as the high pressure system and such. I just am not in panic mode about this...

    • Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?
    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
