Well, it’s that time of year again. It’s hard to believe another school year is about over. How time flies, unless you’re a teacher or the parent of a student. I personally know an elementary school teacher whose bar tab might reach triple digits Friday night. I’ve got to give credit to all those educators out there who stuck it out through the pandemic, poor-mannered kids and the demands of wacky parents and school boards. Hats off to all teachers out there!

Now, there are millions of high school seniors who are fixin’ to graduate and leap headfirst into a murky future. Many will attend college as long as they receive a scholarship or have saved up a million bucks. Or they can get a college loan and pay that back long after they’re forced into early retirement. Some will go to a trade school and enter a profession where they might be called to build or repair something for a high school friend who didn’t learn simple home repairs after five years of living in a college dorm.
