testing testing, is this kid on?

Eleanor took some tests to see if she's ready for kindergarten next year. She needed a score of 37 to be considered "ready" and she scored a 52. Though she had a little trouble with hopping on her left foot, the knocking pattern test, and kinda didn't get rhyming, she's obviously ready.

Now we have until Feb to pick the school. hooray. I think school choice is bizarre, since I come from a place where I had no choices, really.

knew I'd come up with a cool one if I just thought about it

Hillbilly flash mob on the LRT. One family of outrageously stereotypical hillbillies boards LRT at 5th&Henn downtown. More board at stops coming out of downtown (gov't center, metrodome) . A different hillbilly family boards at Cedar/Riv or whatever. Then the first hillbillies start gettin' all agitated, mutterin', lookin' back at th' interlopers, etc. Just before lake st. or maybe 38th, a leader of the first family of hillbillies says real loud "Ah thought we tole ye Carsons t'stay off this here train!"
The Carson clan leader says "Ye dang Stubbses cain't tell us where to go!"
"Why Ah'll show ye! Git im!"

Hillbilly feud breaks out upon arrival at the 38th st station, where a bunch more hillbillies await. The shouting, gesturing and general feudin' spill out of the train onto the platform. Train continues on.

Might need some tweaks and logistical considerations. But the core idea is sound. Hillbilly feud flashmob.

Might could even play out a kinda romeo & juliet story if'n ye had a mind to.
