I don't care to defend my vote. As an old guy with no 
children or grandchildren in local schools, I take a 
perhaps illogical pride in the fact I have always 
supported bond and levy votes, and I did that Tuesday.

I write this only to say that I don't think my friend 
Jim Prall would support passing out trash at the high 
school. Perhaps we will find out what really happened 
in the next few days.
