Looking over my left shoulder, I see Mom staring at me, knuckles white on the handle of her cart. I turn my head to find Nana behind the avocados, glaring. My heart pounding, I raise a hand towards the shelf. A bead of sweat falls from my forehead, hitting the floor with a splat.

Last four flights on Southwest have been super delayed. What's going on, SWA?

Well, I'm not hurting for entertainment. I can play some catch up....

Rural schools are fascinating. Imagine walking miles to your nearest school, all grades in one room, learning your three Rs, and if you were lucky more (only need the three Rs for working the fields).

Or being a school teacher. A young woman, coming out to the country to teach, staying in a small house for the week next to the school before heading back to town for the weekend. Often in the middle of nowhere.
