Rain!

At this writing, (3:44PM) we in Smith County are getting some much needed rain at this moment. The rain is pounding on the metal roof so hard until it sounds like hail! I KNOW my yard looks so dry--that is all changing now. To the right is a radar imagery

from the Brandon Radar site in Brandon. You see Taylorsville and Raleigh. I am located between where cell "Q5/YELLOW SQUARE" and cell "D6" is. That yellow square indicates hail. Now I haven't seen or heard it but radar has picked it up. This is the last of the rain I believe but I haven't panned over to Louisiana, yet. Now it has all let up sounded like but on the way home from school, my headlights turned on. And the flip of the wipers every now and then.

My camera is on the fritz. If you see a good deal anywhere, please let me know!!

Have a great afternoon

Educational debt rising, shocking

As I plan to graduate from high school year after next (school year's), I tend to look at the cost of college and all the little things about it. As I was catching up on the news this morning, I came across this story...

...and I was totally shocked. I couldn't believe what other colleges charged besides MSU. I know all about MSU because that is where I will be attending college. It is ashame that in 1993, students only had to pay out $9,000 compared to $15,000 or so today.

This post is mostly on the link I gave above so take a look abd get shocked like I did. Some of the comparisons are just unreal!!!!!!!!
