I have to admit, the story about the Westlake teachers going on strike -- if true -- is pretty...well, they've got brass ones out there.  Between the high salaries, the students they teach, and the fact that they've voted down three elections...to say nothing of the example of the Strongsville strike...well, maybe, just maybe, the Westlake BOE should let them and see what happens.

In other news, Favorite Niece's softball team -- aided by the misadventures of other teams in the conference -- made the playoffs as the final seed.  It took a win today (which they tried to avoid doing) to make it, but they did, and that is all that matters.  For now, at least.

Finished up the Nazi Germany book yesterday and moved on to The History of E=mc2 (can't find superscript), which is something completely different.  I just started it, though it interesting so far -- the useful bits of science, anecdote, and the development of a fairly complex concept, to say the least.
