Our featured video is shocking although, given some of the others which have appeared on my site and on many others, I’m pretty sure, by no means surprising.

Three videos today – two on the beheading of James Foley by members of ISIS. The first video (featured) does not show the actual beheading being committed; our second video, released by ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) does show the actual act for which A STRONG STOMACH IS MOST DEFINITELY REQUIRED. The last video of this JL 297 (yikes) is meant to uplift after a VERY heavy JuicyLesson … I hope you like to watch Lee roll … A bit of Jerry philosophy is included as an after-thought today re. ISIS and the challenge to peace-loving peoples it presents … The oil took effect, what can I say …

Today “School” in both words and music …. An incredible and somewhat alarming incident occurred in the photocopy room at the private school – actually lots of amusing stuff used to occur there almost on a weekly basis as teachers and da big guy fought tooth and nail to get their photocopying done … One day, one of the other teachers who used the machine almost as much as I did which was a lot approached me to ask how much work I had to do in an effort to find out for how long I planned to use the machine … World Cup Pics …
