New guest columnist at Rachel's blog


Well, Rachel asked me if I would be kind enough to write a column for her blog and I thought that I would oblige her considering that she has been asking me to do so for five months now and anyway it looks like it will be another two weeks off from school for me and the rest of the secondary school teachers in Mongolia. That's right the H1N1 has shaken up the country and two weeks ago the education ministry got together and decided that it would be best not to take any chances so they decided fall break would come early this year and all the children rejoiced. Then those same guvment people started thinking that if one week off was good then two weeks ought to be twice as good, which was fine by me since I make the same nine cents an hour whether I am fighting for truth, justice, and the American Way or picking navel lent while using 3-D imaging software to make the coolest tree-house imaginable. Well, things were moving along pretty smoothly for me but the number of people infected with the H1N1 (I do that so as not to upset the pork producers of America. Times are hard enough as it is without having ignorant people think that eating the most delicious of God's creatures causes the flu. I get onto the rest of the foreign devils here whenever they say swine flu because anything that hurts bacon production hurts the U.S.A. and that's unAmerican. No joke, I would stab a unicorn in the neck for a lifetime supply of bacon.)
has about doubled and to keep things from getting even worse the education minister decided that a month off sounded about right. So I have included a picture of me at a Halloween party celebrating the H1N1 holiday. The Piggly Wiggly shirt was just a coincidence.
